So in the last little while, Rogers has started to offer portable internet/Phone services, Telus has started to offer Television and Shaw is now offering home phone services.

Competition has always been a good thing. Has anyone tried any of these new services?

I haven't, but the ironic thing is that as far as phone lines go, they are all leased from Telus out here in B.C. (formerly B.C. Tel), so they get a cut regardless....I'm sure the same thing applies to cable...I have yet to see some REAL competition....LOL!!!!!
