And there doesn't appear to be a way to remove TV service on their website...

You can't. It's their way to prevent loss of TV revenue from online streaming services like Netflix.

under the SPP plan we'd end up paying more a month for relatively the same thing (lose some channels gain some others)
and if we stayed under Legacy and just added new internet service we'd be paying $10 more a month nehow
-_-
already paying $200/mth Quote:

but if you go over your cap instead of charging like $10/gb  they bump you up to the next internet package on top of yours for that month you go over (since there's more bandwidth on the next level up)

I have Extreme, no phone or TV. | He was referring to the new plans, the one bundled with TV are better. So you can't get THOSE packages without having the TV option.

new bundles look sweet
but what I don't get is...
The price for Shaw Extreme and Broadband 50 if bundled with Personal TV (SPP) is the same at $84.90....wtf? Won't people naturally choose Broadband 50 since you get 400 GBs and 50 Mbps...
never mind lol fail I didn't realize they were replacing the existing bundles

slightly misleading title. Its the data cap that they doubled on the grandfathered plans only. Hmm, now to make a decision...

I'm confused. If i've got an existing High Speed Extreme plan from them, what happens? Just my data cap goes up?
What about those other plans, does it eventually turn into Broadband 50?

did one earlier today and got:
down: 24.xx mbps
up: 2.xx mbps
only a couple months ago I was sitting at 2.xxmbps down with no change in subscription. So either I was getting screwed before or getting treated now????
