Woah Shaw actually listened to their customers?
Hopefully I can switch to the Broadband 50 from Extreme keeping the same price plan since they are similar in prices. These packages are actually pretty good.

So to get faster speeds than 25 Mbps you have to get TV. What type of crap is that!!! and why is Unlimited
100 and Unlimited 250 the same price?

100 and Unlimited 250 the same price? | Cause unlimited 250 is not available until they do their major upgrades. See the phase 1 and phase 2.
The bundling is pretty common. Telus does the same thing with their Optik service.

Too bad they dont list the TV part of the bundles.
Like what is Legacy TV?
I still have the old Cable/HD bundle where as if I upgraded I would be put on the personal plan, and basically have to pay another $50-$60 to get the channels back which I originally had for much less.

i imagine legacy tv means current television customers?
why is there a difference between Shaw Extreme and Broadband 50 ?? there must be something different in the user policy or something... else why not just turn Extreme into Broadband 50?? Quote: |
Customers who choose one of the new packages will enter into an automatic upgrade program. Those who go over their data consumption will be placed in the next higher package for the remainder of the month. The following month's data will be reset and customers will return to their original package unless they choose to stay at the higher level.
| this made the most sense I dont know how/why they didnt propose that in the first place instead of that milliondollar/gb idea

Is it me or the pricing is still pretty expensive? I pay $34/mnt including taxes with teksavvy and I'm more than happy with the speeds I get... From their pricing I should be paying $49+taxes a month...

I hope to see TekSavvy is going to increase their bandwidth cap in reflect to the changes that Shaw has made. 
450GB Cap, 25Mbps/2.5Mbps and $36.95 Xtreme plan would be the perfect sweet spot for TekSavvy to continue staying ahead of the competition.

So...if I'm on extreme, my cap is increased to 250gb now? That's a pretty big increase for 100gb

The automatic bumps are only for the new plans. The original plans according to that post say it'll fall under their standard acceptable use policy.

I'm going to be pretty unhappy if/when they get rid of analog service, because I use a TV tuner with Win7 Media Centre on one of my PC's as a 2nd TV/PVR unit in my house.
I'd be so happy if Shaw could offer an add-in card that lets me use the Media Center interface.
