Whether Telus or Shaw internet is better depends on location, needs, and pricing, but generally Shaw now Rogers offers faster cable speeds up to 1.5 Gbps with good value in Western Canada, while Telus offers fiber optic pure fibre with symmetrical speeds up to 3 Gbps and better upload, making Telus better for fiber areas. Shaw, now owned by Rogers, provides cable internet using DOCSIS technology with download speeds 75 Mbps to 1.5 Gbps, with Fibre+ branding but actually cable, not true fiber to home, with lower upload speeds 15 to 100 Mbps, unlimited data, and pricing 60 to 120 dollars per month, good for download-heavy users and gaming with low latency in urban areas. Telus provides DSL and PureFibre fiber optic internet with symmetrical speeds up to 1 to 3 Gbps download and upload, better for upload, video calls, and future-proofing, with fiber available in many BC and Alberta cities, pricing similar 60 to 130 dollars. For reliability, Telus fibre is considered more reliable than Shaw cable during peak hours as cable can slow with congestion. For coverage, Shaw covers more rural areas in Western Canada, Telus fibre limited to cities. Customer service both mixed. So is Telus or Shaw better? If you have Telus PureFibre available, Telus is better for speed and reliability with symmetrical upload, if you need fast download and better pricing in non-fiber area, Shaw Rogers is better, so check availability at your address in Alberta, BC, and compare speeds and prices.
