we weren't originally with shaw. our phone was with telus, internet was with telus, and tv was with bell. the talk went alright i'm assuming (it wasn't i that was talking to the attendant) apparently we got internet, phone and tv for $85 + $7 (for asian programming).
we signed with them this morning as new clients.

what do u mean by "signed" with them?
did u sign contract? or do u mean, u transfered over and r using them now?

transferring over i mean.
wrong use of word. sorry.

This isn't $85 but I just called the retention dept. for the first time ever and I was pleasantly surprised. My current bill is $136.80 a month for digital, HD sports package, Extreme Internet, Phone with caller ID and all that crap. I told him what telus was offering and he looked up my account. He's like ya you've been with us a long time, you've never been offered a promo, you pay your bill on time so I can offer you exactly what you have except change the sports HD package to all the HD channels and I'll do it for $90.90 a month for one year.

Savings of about $50 a month after tax, be polite and you shall receive. Don't care about PVR offers or anything like that because I already have them although he did offer me a free digital HD box (non PVR) for 3 years but I had no need for it.

Edit: I never threatened to leave or anything either I just told them that Telus was offering me a really good rate right now for one year and was wondering if there was anything they could do to get my bill close to it?

^ How much after the first year?

I have the Shaw Triple Bundle Package.

$79 per month ($7 - Chinese Channels, $5 - HD Plus)

Shaw Extreme (1 year)
Basic Phone with Call Display (1 year for Unlimited North America)
HD Basic, Basic Cable (Ch 2-58), Chinese Channel

So I'm $86 per month before tax. That's a deal.

What happens after a year?

So what you're saying is that they jipped me.... Those jackasses!!!!!!!! Aijdieiodbnf

That's what I would like to know. Probably goes up to ~$200.

we need retention rep names. considering that shaw seems to dish out plans at teh discretion of the rep...

Back to normal price for me but I've been paying that for years so I'll take the $600 savings for this year then possibly switch to Telus after a year.

Extreme High Speed will go back to Reguar High Speed

Basic Phone line will be Basic Phone line without the Unlimited North America Long Distance.

No it doesn't. It stays at the same price. Only the extra options such as the Extreme High Speed and Unlimited Long Distance within North America calling goes back to its basic service.

got this just now

$86.50 for Shaw Extreme Internet, ch1-58, 13 HD channels, Phone with unlimited NA calling.

And there is an option for addition HD channels for like $5, which covers like Discovery channel, national geographic blah blah blah etc.

I just got the Shaw triple bundle. I'll now be paying $79 plus tax thanks to this thread.

Has anyone successfully switched to Shaw from Telus for the Shaw Digital Phone service?

How does the transition work? Do I need to cancel my home phone service with Telus first (to prevent being charged extra)?

I am planning to keep my existing telephone no.

I think Shaw will deal with Telus, and therefore your will not be charged extra since you will receive your Shaw services after your Telus bill cycle ends. :S

reposted it

Are you getting free HD PVR boxes as well?

what free HD PVR boxes?

Just got this today thanks to the Corzo.

$85.95 for 12 months with the first month free. I was offered 2 free HD PVR boxes (rentals) as well but I'm only taking 1 since I already bought one of the new boxes and only have 2 TVs. The free boxes are the 160GB version.

Ultimately over the 12 month period I only save like ~$20 total but I get a free extra HD PVR box and unlimited phone service that I wouldn't have otherwise signed up for.

Also I think the OP forgot to mention that you get some international calling minutes as well (she first said 1000 then said 250 so I dunno).

Tried to get this, no go for me. Already with Shaw, and would need to cancel and place under someone else's name. Seeing as the wife is already co authorized on the account, no one else to activate with. :(

that's probably true. but it's not a contract so you're free to choose what services you would like to keep within your bundle etc.

time to adopt a kid!

my friend shaw csr said after a year prices will be at 105

is this still available ? do you guys know ?
