While I don't have a dedicated-rep, Shaw Business customer service and techs are way better then on the Residental side.

I call to complain about something, or ask to have something done, on my residental account, No, sorry we can't do that, or thats not possible.

On the Business side, they just do it, no 15 min on hold, trying to get someone higher up, or someone who knows how to do a "push" on the modem, or what that even is (resending the config file to the modem).

Business Side, I call the Sales or Tech number, no being put on hold, no IVR to wade threw, it just rings right through, sometimes longer when they are busy I suppose, but it just rings...

When I was still living in Winnipeg, I had both DSL and Shaw, there was 50ms ping differences between pinging did.voip.les.net. My tests showed the DSL modem itself added 15ms delay in things. MTS with their DSL modems, they are technologly only able to upload at 640kb/s, download at 8Mbps, last time I had service, the fastest plan only used 512kb/s of that. Shaw's modems are 38/32Mbps Down/Up. So if they were to upgrade their infustructre, they could almost match the speed of a DS3.
