@dm2 You are allowed to have consecutive value plans, you need to talk to Shaw, or continue paying month to month, it’s up to you.

@cpmrich36 -- to repeat: Your other alternative is to pay much more: switching from 75 Mbps for $90/month to 1000 Mbps for $25 more per month, to get the XB7 included. Upgrading to 300 Mbps will still use the XB6 that you have.
Being on a Shaw Value-Plan should qualify you for promotional discounts on that $90 fee (75 Mbps), but those are the non-discounted prices listed on the Shaw Together With Rogers web-site.

My XB7 is absolutely quiet.
The only noise I hear is from the fans in my desktop computer, adjacent to the XB7.
