I meant a cable modem through Shaw Cable. Sorry, should have been more
clear. The high-speed/DSL/cable terminology confuses me.
My father-in-law has Shaw cable for his television, and I believe he pays
around the same price as satellite, although I'm not sure. He pays more
overall because he tacks on all those movie channels, but I remember it
sounded cheaper than what my mother pays in Virginia for all the same type
of package.
