Hi,
I am just wondering if anybody here has had the Shaw Digital Phone
service installed, and if so, how is it working for you ?
I have my Macs hooked up to the Shaw cable modem and am wondering if
you have experienced any interference with your internet service
since having the digital phone service installed ?

The bigger question would be : how does cable compare to dsl? Around me
in Scarborough, cable absolutely sucks. Totally undependable with
service from rogers to match (used to be shaw but service and
reliability is the same.) My dsl hasn't failed me except once, when the
line was out, and is far more reliable than cable.
I guess the question is, if you had cable would you rely on it for a
phone line as opposed to dsl.
The next question for dsl folks is : how do you get a voip line by
itself without having bell as your normal phone company? Is it possible
to have a voip line and a dsl connection without having bell involved at
all? This is the ultimate attraction for cable, you never need bell
involved in any of the steps along the way. Both internet and phone from
the cable company. Has anyone actually taken the huge step away from bell?
