Have you looked at carrytel / teksavvy for internet? I don't know if they are in your area, but they are in my area and the best.

tv can be had for free through internet.

Cannet is also a fairly popular alternative when it comes to internet.

I suggest taking this question to a shopping forum. There's zero visibility in this forum for such questions.

I could do that. I was hoping our resident expert @ShawnC13 who has done a fine job slaying the Shaw dragon to step up with a "community suggestion".

As for internet...is $85 for 250gb too much?

I don't have a lot of options in a rural area so this seemed to be a no-brainer.

I'm at $41 with Shaw Direct with basic plus timeshift/east/west channels. Again...few options other than streaming using that internet connection.

Truth be told...I've dabbled in some legit streaming and I gotta say I really don't like the ads that I can't skip over like I can with a dvr.

Sure I could torrent stuff but it's all such a hassle compared to just having it all on one box from the satellite.

Those are nice offerings. Unlimited data. Nice. But it looks like not available in my area. Probably works a lot like the cell modem "Smart Hub" that I have from Telus.
