I run all of those except nntp on my Shaw business site. They all work fine.
I also spoke to Shaw in advance of us adding significant traffic to our site, and I never recieved a phone call about it. We did about 100Gig up and another 100 down per month for about 6 months. They said that we were on their most expensive package, so I was basically free to use it however I wanted. In return, we haven't used shaw in a couple of months now, but I keep it running because it's a good backup, and they've earned my business by their past actions.
