Bumping this up CRTC to rule on unlimited Internet plans from smaller telecom providers Quote: OTTAWA - Consumers will know Tuesday whether unlimited Internet plans offered by small, upstart companies are on their way out.
Canada's telecommunications regulator's ruling on wholesale high-speed access services, to be released when markets close, will lay out how much big companies like Bell Canada can charge smaller Internet Service Providers for the use of their networks.

The CRTC's decision, announced Tuesday, gives established providers two options for charging independent internet service providers — a flat rate or a rate based on capacity and the number of users.
Bell had asked to be able to charge based on the total volume of internet data used by its wholesale customers. The regulator rejected that model.
The capacity rate model charges based on the speed of the service — meaning the small ISPs will be paying for the size of the pipe, not the amount of data that flows through the pipe. And it means small ISPs will have to pay more to provide faster internet to their customers.
The CRTC requires Bell and Rogers to allow the smaller companies to use their internet infrastructure and regulates the price which they can charge for it.

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! 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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Posted via RS Mobile | 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.

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.

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 | |

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.

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 :/

Friend at shaw got me into the loyalty program and I got a free internet upgrade so I'm fine now.
