Presumably so you'll be forced to use their DNS, which lets them know what sites you go to. So thanks for that Shaw.

You could buy a cheap router, put your modem in bridge mode, and set the Wi-Fi SSID and password combo to be the same as your modem’s and none would be the wiser. Then you’d have control over your network. That said, if you have the same modem that I do (from shaw) a cheap router will not have the same performance as the one shaw provides. But a used UniFi WAP would outshine the shaw provided modem any day.

Unfortunately in this case privacy isn’t free.
