So I've been setting up a Channel on YouTube and Twitch and I've now realize that I need greater speeds for streaming. With that in mind I've taken a look back and what Plan I'm using and which best to switch to since I have the advantage of relatives with Smart Phones to bundle with for one of the 2 ISPs in town.

Currently we are using Internet 15 from SHAW.

Shaw only bundles internet, with TV, and
Landline which don’t use, and are getting rid of.

I don’t know if bundling a second mobile phone
to this would further decrease the cost
·
Telus’s download speed is not stable for that
reason I would recommend the Internet 50 package so we could consider our switch
as an Upgrade.

I need at least 5 Mbps to comfortably stream content at
1080p 30fps. SHAW simply does not offer that at a reasonable price. Telus does,
but as I’ve said I’d highly recommend the Internet 50 package so that we won’t sacrifice
our downloading speed, and we have the ability for more than one user to upload
at once if we need to.
