| 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: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/S...oadband-100712
So basically a free month of internet then cancel, who the hell is gonna pay $250 a month for internet...

why are they pushing this plan on consumers? this should be marketing by shaw business for businesses.

You better remember to call and cancel (even though they say they are going to call); or they may just enroll you and start charging you next month.

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.

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.
