Can you use shaw cable with telus internet?
The new place I'm moving into has telus internet and I want shaw cable can I use the two together?
I think the short answer is no. Shaw is not going to run their internet over Telus copper or fiber. You need Shaw cable into your residence to run Shaw. We have both and I compared the two options and picked Telus. I think your real issue is your e-mail address. If it is a Shaw address you may have to change the e-mail to a Telus one, or to save some hassle just go direct to Google Mail.
ShawSpy you said "Shaw tv is far superior to optik tv because almost everyones home has a ton of coaxial connections everywhere"
I have 8 RJ45 jacks and WiFi throughout but only 3 coax outlets in my house. By your logic Optik would be far superior to Shaw in my house on that basis.

If you have RJ45 wall outlets everywhere in the house and can hardwire plug in all your optik tv boxes, then I would say your tv service quality will be equal to Shaw. I find shaw's picture quality to be better and less compressed. I find Shaw cable PVR audio to be far superior also, especially on recorded programming. My Telus Technicolor PVR with recorded programs lose audio loudness and have to really crank the volume when watching the recorded programs. I think telus has shaw beat on internet, but Shaw remains the better choice for cable tv.
