Shaw is being a bully - do your part to STOP IT!
 

I think this site speaks for itself. http://www.10buckstoo.com/

1) Sign the petition
2) Call Shaw, and tell them you want the 'offer' too.


I called Shaw, after 20min, i was able to upgrade from Highspeed internet to Extreme internet free for 6 months. They will not budge on the TV package. They do not care about the fact that Surrey and Vancouver are only 30mins/30km away. I did not qualify for the offer because I did not 'live in the targeted region'

Do your part - ask for free shit, and don't give up until you get something for free, even for 6mo's.

Go and call now! Run!!



ps: make sure to post what you got for free.

I can see why they are doing it. They are cutting into Novus' subscribers. Why would they want to willingly give the deal to other areas, when they're pretty much the only game in town?

lol

I agree what Shaw is doing is wrong. But they make this site look like it is run by an independent 3rd party... but isn't it run by Novus?

I recently switched to Novus. Shaw offered me that 9.95 deal in a last ditch attempt to keep me and though it was tempting, I made the switch anyway. Some Shaw reps were in our building yesterday trying to get people to switch to them. For a company that large, at least they could have offered better refreshments instead of Tim Horton's cookies and pop. :lol

I hope Novus can survive this and stay around for a while. I haven't done a whole lot of viewing of the HD channels, but from what I've seen so far, I haven't seen any compression artifacts which is a welcome change from Shaw.

good luck, shaw wont budge for me the last time i tried to get a free hd box, no matter how many times i've called, threaten to cancel service with them, even set a cancellation date, they wont budge on me to offer me a freaking HD box. i just needed ONE freaking HD box, i dont care abt free internet or free HD channels. but all is good since i bought my hdbox at 599 at bestbuy THEN it went on sale for xmas for half the price, so i priced match a brand new HD box, not the refurbished shit they give u.

I"ve been trying to get a HDPVR - $499 right now at BB. Tried calling Shaw - they won't offer me anything.
Unfortunately Telus TV is not offered yet in my area (Surrey) and I can't get Novus either. Shaw knows this thus they're just complacent when you try and talk to them on the phone.

Good luck.

Meh i'm a telus person.

try and use bell as leverage, bell is offered everywhere.

^ And if you switch to them they will offer some pretty awesome deals.

I think my brother did that because for 6 months, we got everything unlimited :lol

yeah when i was with Bell, they offered all this free stuff when I said I was going to switch to Rogers

Feeling entitled much?

My co-worker told me last night that his new building in surrey got offered this exact same deal because the building was hardwired with telus.

its pretty evident the site is run by Novus - the contact us + video says Novus!!

Nope the site is hosted with NetNation and its ran by 6smarketing.com. they are potentially a client of Novus.

if you watch the video it says

"Hi, my name is Matt and I work for NOVUS" - not sure how obvious it can get besides that.


I'm not sure if 6s is a client of Novus, cuz 6s in yaletown , and so is my work , and my work is serviced by shaw. im sure if novus serviced yaletown , we'd be on that bandwagon..

oh yea and for net nation - they are the 'neighbourhood' hosting co for most tech companies ;)..



enuff chit chat - how many of you guys actually called shaw ??

made the switch to telus ~ no regrets

So is my house, wonder if I can swindle something :haha:

got a hd box for $349.99

Tried but no cigar....... guess I gonna have to wait until boxing day again to get another cheap hdpvr

SHAW sucks. They rasie thier price every 8 months or so. If they raise thier price again i am going to switch to telus. But then there goes my high speed download.

try getting teksavvy...they lease lines from bell and telus but at least 200gb cap...from what i can tell its a little faster than telus...

oh yah..shaw sucks...they keep on sending me notices to get me to subscribe to shaw cable...screw them...fta ftw

so is anyone on here actually using novus?? i cant believe that im just hearing about them now... i think im gonna call shaw and cancel tom! novus' rates are awesome
