Same here.

I called and told them nicely I am changing addresses and since I am moving I am going to start a clean sheat by going to Telus as they are offering me a PVR.

We chatted for a bit and then she offered me the deal. Just so you know, and I found this out the hardway after a month of going through 2 different PVR sets, the ones you purchase off of the retention plans are REFURBISHED PVRS.

I just called Shaw and was offered:

- HD Basic + HD Sports + High Speed internet for $95.90 (same price as website)

BUT:
- 1 normal dish and 1 HD PVR for free
- 2 months of free internet
- 6 more months of $19.95 internet
- free installation

Is this a good deal? Any ideas??

Bumping an old thread but just curious about the shaw bundle promo they have. Has anyone signed up for it? I am on their website but I can't click customize..

winks 03-24-2011 05:40 PM

shaw sucks. go to telus. they care about retaining their existing customers unlike shaw

taylor192 03-24-2011 05:44 PM

I am paying the basic price, $62.95, and have every single HD channel except the movie channels and TSN.

How? I never had HD, never wanted HD, yet wanted NFL Sunday Ticket and it was only offered in HD. Shaw had a special to sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket for a discount ($159 vs $199), and get the HD PVR for 1/2 price ($199 vs $399). When I got home and activated everything I noticed I had all the HD channels (except movies and TSN) without paying anything extra. I thought this would end when NFL Sunday ticket ran out, yet no, I still have all the HD channels.

Beat that suckas!

saucywoman 03-24-2011 06:26 PM

About to end service with shaw and have signed up with telus as shaws prices were more expensive and they weren't willing to give a new promotion. Getting basic cable and internet for 36 for 6 months, then 65 after that and I get pvr rental for free and an xbox

I'm paying about the same as the OP for the same stuff. Fkn ripping us off. Even tried calling in to try to cut down the bill, those dicks won't budge. Might call again sometime soon.

Its actually a promotion across Telus and Shaw, and i've had it for a couple years. (It was $10 basic last year)

Just have to keep calling in every year:fullofwin:

EmperorIS 03-24-2011 10:47 PM

i pay $82 after tax HD basic + HD plus + Extreme Internet + Digital Phone Basic + free HDPV

iam_dan 03-24-2011 10:48 PM

my friend is on a student package for internet. i forgot how much discount hes getting, but i recall it was very significant.

might be worthwhile to look into it.

Mr.HappySilp 03-24-2011 11:34 PM

I think SHAW is also increasing their price in April as well.
