Shaw's 100mbps Internet...

Just got a call from shaw saying they'll upgrade my internet to their new 100mbps service free for a month... saying they'll give me a call after the month is over if i want to cancel or something...

I didnt even know they had this and did some research and found:

So basically a free month of internet then cancel, who the hell is gonna pay $250 a month for internet...

Still too expensive...regular high speed is good enough for me...

If I was gonna pay $250 a month for internet I'd sure as hell expect no bandwidth limits. 200GB is ridiculous, I get that now with my 7MB for $30.

I do 300GB a month on extreme (100GB cap) and I negotiated a deal with retentions for it to be $35 permanently. :D

:damn: that's insane. They just don't charge you for the overage?? That's my one worry of switch to shaw when I move back to Vancouver is I easily use 250GB a month and shaw doesn't seem to offer anything that high.

27mpbs is fast enough for me. 100mbps would just be overkill. And not worth the extra $120/mo for that matter.

100mbps is definately overkill for home even small office useage.
even with a comp with 10TB it will fill up so quickly

You guys shouldn't complain. I get 6Mpbs only. 3G is faster than my speed! :lol
