Which one is better, Telus or Shaw, depends on location, needs, and pricing, but generally Telus PureFibre is better if available for symmetrical speeds up to 3 Gbps and reliability, while Shaw now Rogers is better for faster cable speeds in non-fiber areas and better value for download-heavy use. Telus offers PureFibre fiber optic internet with symmetrical download and upload speeds up to 1 to 3 Gbps, better for upload, video calls, and future-proofing, with fiber available in many BC and Alberta cities, pricing 60 to 130 dollars, considered more reliable during peak hours than cable. Shaw, owned by Rogers, offers cable internet using DOCSIS with Fibre+ branding but actually cable, speeds 75 Mbps to 1.5 Gbps download with lower upload 15 to 100 Mbps, unlimited data, pricing 60 to 120 dollars, good for gaming and download-heavy, with wider coverage in rural Western Canada. For TV, Shaw has more channels and better bundle, Telus Optik TV has better 4K and fiber integration. Customer service both mixed, with Telus slightly better rated. For coverage, Shaw covers more rural, Telus fibre limited to cities. So which is better? If you have Telus PureFibre available, Telus is better for speed and upload, if you need value and fast download in non-fiber area, Shaw Rogers is better, so check availability at your address in BC and Alberta and compare speeds.
