Bumping this up

CRTC to rule on unlimited Internet plans from smaller telecom providers

So shaw called me today. Thought they were gonna give me a warning since I exceeded my b/w limit but nope. They offered me a kickass deal. $30 a month for 1 year of broadband 50 and homephone. It's their 15/15/20 deal.

$15 Internet
$15 Homephone
$20 TV

Needless to say I'm getting upgraded this Thursday from my Extreme bundle.

Wow, thats so cheap ! How can I get on that plan? Can I just call in and ask for it ?
I currently have broadband 50 with the tv and home phone bundle, but I'm paying $107 / month

They just called me and offered it. You can try calling in and seeing if they'll give it to you by request.

Wow! So you are an existing customer and they called you to offer a deal? Usually once shaw has your business they don't do much to keep it.

Yeah I've seen on RFD that some others have been getting calls too. I was on a "Retention" type 12month plan with Shaw that ends in December so maybe that's why I got a call?

In fact the rep said not to worry about it being 12 months. After 12 months I could call back and re-negotiate too! So needless to say a guy is coming this Thursday with the new modem.

WTF any more info on this? We've got the 25mb/s internet, home phone+unltd asia calling, and Basic TV+ HD Channels and asian channels for like $150 a month.......

I'm on a deal that ends this month, brand new condo "own the home package", high speed Internet, basic phone, hd plus tv package and free pvr rental all for $69 a month.

I'm waiting for a call back, hopefully I can get the 15/15/20 deal too.

Good luck! Don't quote me on the name of the bundle as that's just what I think it's called. Here's the link from RFD:

[Elect] Shaw TV/Internet/Cable 50.00 - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

Spoke to Shaw, advised that I wanted to cancel and will be moving to Telus. They offered a bundle for $101 (regular shaw plan personalizer pricing) but this includes all HD channels (except oasis hd) and includes hbo and movie central. The price is fixed and won't increase after 6 months or 1 year.

Hurt . Just called shaw and they told me that if I'm already a client then I wont be able to get any other deals :(

Yeah I guess it's a YMMV kinda thing and only applies if they call you.

are you guys talking to the save department? or just regular CSR billing department?

I called sales and asked to cancel, they transferred me to cancellations/loyalty department. I asked to terminate all services as of dec 5 as I had signed up for Telus. They made an offer and said that I could think about it, and to call back and ask for loyalty department.

Just make sure that you are ready to cancel and state so clearly. Set a future date, you can always call back and cancel that request. I will probably take the $101 deal they offered me, sure it's not $50 cheap but its a $167 value (personal tv, all hd channels, hbo/movie central, personal phone, broadband 50) and it does not expire after one year like all other promos.

Bump.

Any new users with Teksavvy report what their service is like?

$55 for unlimited 25Mbps seems not bad considering all the rate increases lately.

TekSavvy - DSL

When will yours expire then?

Arghhh. Just noticed that Shaw lowered the bandwidth cap for High Speed 20 again. Has anyone actually been charged for going over the limit though? I've exceeded it a couple times by quite a bit (30GB+) but my monthly bills have all been normal.

You go over 3 times, then they send you a warning, if you still continue to go over, then your package gets bumped up.

Anywhere carries faster speed than Shaw broadband 250 ??? under $115 (Other than Novus....cant use it in my area.)

Just curious.

shaw really needs to up those bandwidth caps especially with 4K video streaming coming in the Fall/Winter of this year and 3D/1080p streaming becoming more of a norm

thinking of switching to teksavvy but it'd be nice if they offered faster speeds :/

They will always offer slower speed than Shaw cause they are using their lines.

i can understand that but it'd be nice if there were at least a broadband 50 unlimited plan

Apparently I've doubled my bandwidth for the past 4-6 months and they were gonna cancel my internet without a warning lol. Friend at shaw got me into the loyalty program and I got a free internet upgrade so I'm fine now.
