   I'm using shaw cable. I did talk to the reps and agreed on a price for their   
   ipv6 router, then they gave me a recording and asked my approval for a 2 year   
   contract. I said no. I am not up for any of their or anyone else's contracts.   
      
   I didn't have time for more conversation that day (or maybe I was anoyed) so   
   I guess I have to call them back and find a contractless way of doing it.
