I'm really happy with Shaw. Both Business and Home. They change their IP addressing ranges about every year or so, and it's usually about 3-4 days of ugliness, but once it's complete, things are great again. They just went through it about a week or two ago. (Moving from 24.x.x.x to 68.x.x.x). Businesses (Static IP addresses) don't seem to be affected much by this, but lower end connections can be flaky for a bit... I've never regretted suggesting Shaw, so I've never tried anything else.
I've heard really good things about Nucleus. Even for one person running a Linux server. He said the techs eyes glazed over when he asked about BGP, but that's forgiveable for a SOHO tech support person. Most people don't really want to run BGP out of their house. If someone wanted DSL instead of Cable, I'd recommend Nucleus based on what I've been told by people I trust. I have no personal experience though. I've never heard anything good about Telus. Not on this list, and not in meatspace either. I'd suggest Satellite or bonded 56K modems :) . Having heard repeated complaints, even from business users, I wouldn't advise this provider. Again, no personal experience on the data side with anything smaller than a partial T1.
