Shaw Communications Inc. (NYSE:SJR) (CDNX:SJR.A) (TSE:SJR.B) announced there will be no impact to the quality of service provided to its high-speed Internet customers as a result of financial concerns with the @Home Corp. in Redwood City, California.
Shaw has been proactive in building its fiber-optic network and provisioning systems. With the launch of its new Internet Data Centre last month, the company is currently in a position to provide existing customers and new customers with email, webspace, domain hosting, high-performance network, secure connections, broadband content and 24-hour customer service.
These investments include $274 million in developing Shaw's own fiber Internet backbone and $56 million in upgrading and expanding its high-speed cable modem network -- all with the objective of providing the best high speed Internet service for their customers.
