I'm not aware of any residential gigabit companies that also have tv service. Maybe Novus?

I still run all 3 services through shaw, internet, cable and phone. As soon as I get my kid a phone (probably next couple weeks) I'm cancelling my cable and home phone. With Android boxes, Netflix and downloading TV Shows and movies Cable is obsolete even more so now that DAZN has bought the rights to Stream the NFL in Canada and it's cheap as fuck compared to what Shaw was charging.

only reason why i keep cable is because of live spots and Jeopardy
If somthing like DAZN can pick up all or most of live sports i'd probably drop it.
I've exhausted all options in terms of trying to stream live sporting events, it's just never good enough

I'm moving in a couple months and I'm realistically looking at not getting cable at all. The only thing I would want it for is Sports specifically hockey. All the rest I can get via my usual methods of downloading, youtube etc.
What are my best options for watching Canucks games without cable, or is that not even an option?

I even used a VPN in order to change my regional viewing but outside of watching it from my hardwired PC, casting it to a TV or through Apple TV etc was useless, so choppy and shitty I couldn't even watch and that's with internet 150 and a great connection throughout my old place.

Novus will be offering their services in my building soon 
Currently on a 1-year new subscription plan with Telus, but upgraded to the 150/150 plan for about $20/mo. Hopefully by the time that's over I can switch over!

I was gonna cancel my cable and use internet 150. But decided internet 75 and 4 pack theme was good enough.
Maybe I should try for internet 150 then wait for the call
