I have a friend who does installs for shaw. He hooked me up with the digital package, all hd channels, and 7 channels of my choice like animal planet, nhl network, nba tv etc.. plus free hd pvr and shaw boxes for a year and 3 months of free movies channels for $101 a month. The $101 is with basic phone and extreme I internet. If you want the hook up then message me and i'll hook you up with his #. After my 1 year promo is almost over, I'm just going to call retention and ask for the same deal or else I'll cancel and sign up under my gf's name

I'm going to demand for a better deal (in a nice way, been with them since 2004) or else I'm really going to cancel. I'm not even asking for much - just want my bill reduced.

just called in and they said that you can cancel for a min of 30days and call back to go on new promotion. when I commented about how i would've thought they would give existing customers promo rates to keep them from cancelling, she basically said they're not concerned with customers doing that. :S someone should hook me up up here in kamloops


oh and telus online agent said i'd be able to get the xbox for free, just talk to agent who calls me back. Talk to agent today and he says with the package i'm getting the free xbox promo is not available to me :S
fuckers lie to me even before I'm a customer

fta is a term for satellite users where you get a satellite dish, point it to bev and charlie to receive b3LL and d!$h network, get a box, hack it with software and watch as much of the shows they offer...i'm not sure if its still alive but i'm out of it...

ota is off the air meaning you use an antenna be it rabbit ears or more sophisticated designed ones that you either buy or make your self...i usually go to digitalhome.ca for a lot of information on which antennas i can make myself for a few bucks and about an hours time...with that i get most if not all digitals in HD and some from the states...

like i mentioned that there are sacrifices as i don't see sportsnet for example, but that what i have the boxee box for...movies, shows, and streaming stuff...i don't mind the quality...

FUCK SHAW! Once I see a good deal from Telus, I'm switching ASAP. Their retention department is useless and obviously customer loyalty + tenure means nothing to Shaw.

It got contacted by outsourced Marketing rep (Shaw's subcontractor).
He offered me the same package as KeBe but I told him I wanted to try out BB50. He checked and said it would be $10 and he can't guarantee it to be accepted by Shaw (They have to send in orders for Shaw to approve).
Long story short, he send in the work order for me and it was accepted.

Price is only good for one year BTW.

what is BB50? more channels? nvm.. broadband 50mbps? Is it a significant difference from extreme?

Yeah mine only last for a year too. But he said all i have to do is cancel it and wait a month and get a new promo.

I dont even need the home phone or cable because I stream everything online but I do like the PVR. Its good for recording the news and other sitcoms
