I would use Novus if available. Shaw is fastest if you are comparing raw speed.

I think Novus used to be on Shaw's backbone years ago, but since they offer TV, they must have had their equipments upgraded and in house.

Novus does not require a modem, just a router.

Doing a speed test through WIFI does not show actual speed as WIFI is not reliable.

Yes, that's why I am saying if Novus is available (mostly in downtown), then it is the best deal.

Otherwise Teksavvy also offers VDSL and Cable internet as well at a decent price. Teksavvy cable internet is faster as it is on Shaw's backbone without the Shaw's usage cap. If you have a Surfboard SB5xxx modem, it should be able to work with it.
