Compare Skyway Managed Cable to Rogers (formerly Shaw) Cable
Why Upgrade to Skyway Managed Cable?
Move beyond standard Rogers (formerly Shaw) Cable with Skyway Managed Cable — built for business performance, control, and reliability.
When combined with SD-WAN failover, multiple IPs per device, policy routing, and QoS, our solution delivers many of the advantages of Dedicated Fibre — at a fraction of the cost.
Key Benefits
- Multiple IPs per device – Assign more than one IP address to a single firewall or server for flexible traffic management.
- Direct peering – Faster, more efficient access to services like Microsoft 365 and Azure in Vancouver.
- Moveable IPs – Transfer IP addresses between sites or providers with ease.
- Availability SLA with failover – Built-in redundancy for greater uptime.
- Free DNS Firewall (CIRA-powered) – Blocks malware, botnets, and malicious domains before they reach your network.
Business-class connectivity. More control. Lower cost than fibre. We’d love to talk with you about all your Business Internet options. Call us at 604-482-1225.
