what were the details? I think my family's paying a lot more than that for hd/hispeed/phone. This seems like a good bundle

gnat. 01-19-2010 01:40 PM

oh, and i forgot to ask...is shaw internet reliable? i hear from a lot of my friends that they break up easily...causing your internet to go down from anywhere between an hour to 2 days or so?

without details since op decided to take it off, i'll just assume, this deal is only available to NEW shaw customers only IF u switch from telus or bell and show them a monthly bill as proof.

where did u hear this from? i've been with shaw since rogers days (so 8+ years of cable internet), and the only downtimes that i get r either from power outages, or maintenance/hardware upgrade in which they provide adequate notice to u, and maybe the once a year disconnect (but usually back within 10-30mins and usually occurs late late at night, arnd 3am)

and if you require wireless you have to pay more correct? i'm with telus right now, and we're moving. and i was looking to shaw cable...cause we need a change. so if it's cheaper we can just get the whole bundle

TOS'd 01-19-2010 02:24 PM

^ If you need wireless internet you dont have to pay more to Shaw. You just need to buy a wireless router, if you dont already have one (and wireless cards for desktops without them). It's not like Telus with the build in modem and router all in one.

slammer111 01-19-2010 08:47 PM

^ Meh, same price as Telus, except you get regular internet (not lite) instead of hi-speed/extreme.

Telus you also get a PVR decoder with a 3yr contract. Not sure if Shaw has any equivalent.

CivicS 01-19-2010 09:44 PM

you do not need to be a new shaw customer to get this deal. I am a Shaw internet/cable customer, but I told them that I am shopping around for deals and basically ask them what they can do to keep me. Then they offered me this deal...

The promotion gives you:
Shaw HD plus: Ch2-58, basic HD channels and HD Plus
Extreme internet
Shaw digital phone with free North America calling
Free PVR rental for 2 years

I called back TELUS to see if they can match this deal, they eventually pass me to L&R, but they cant even come close to what shaw is offering....I was a bit disappointed with TELUS, ALL the CSRs were pretty awful and they don't seem interested to match anything from shaw or keep me as a customer

gnat. 01-19-2010 10:30 PM

^ i'm looking into the shaw channels too! and every time i look into it, it makes me want every single package!!!! why? cause movie channels are AWESOME, and everything else cause i'm greedy-_____-!!! seriously need to control my tv-needs! LOL

Mugen EvOlutioN 01-19-2010 10:39 PM

so is this package still available?


no HD tho

valent|n0 01-20-2010 02:22 PM

any shaw CSR here or know a CSR extension ?
we need more info about this TV, Phone, Internet bundle for $80

tiger_handheld 01-20-2010 03:40 PM

i called n they didn't seem to care if i left. mind u i've been with shaw since 2000 or so , n some members who got the deal might've been with them longer...

TOS'd 01-20-2010 04:04 PM

^ you have to cancel and sign up as a new account to get the deal.

or so ive been told, by op.

TOPEC 01-20-2010 04:15 PM

ok i know what is going on now, this is a retentions deal,
u have to call in and pretend to cancel, so they will give u this deal to "try" and keep u as their customer. u really really need to know how to out talk them.

also, to those who think loyalty counts, no it doesnt work for shaw, no matter how long u've been with them, they wont give a fuck, u have to out smart them to get them to give u anything for free or deals, if u cant out talk them they wont give u anything.
i'd been with them since rogers day, so arnd 15+ years and they didnt offer me any deals when ever i talk to them.

MaximalLazy 01-20-2010 04:33 PM

My family is currently paying 89 bucks for basic channels + extreme internet(no shaw phone). Gonna try calling soon.

Please Post more Details!! if you can

gnat. 01-20-2010 06:26 PM

we called in today, signed up for the tv HD, phone, extreme internet i believe..(my mom was dealing with it...so she didn't ask for details and/or didn't give me any details)
anyhow. the guy said, HD only has 13 channels. i was wondering if you guys know whether or not it comes with the digital channels as well?
i think once they come and install on saturday, i'll have to try and figure things out...and if they're not exactly what i want then i'll probably try adding stuff onto the tv plan. cause i want some espn!!!

BUT they did allow us to keep our phone number right now, except...it'll take 3-4 weeks to port!
