anyone's Shaw down right now? in the main and 46th area

shaw being a bitch tonight... keeps cutting in and out.. called the tech line and they said some parts in the marpole area is being effected... but I live near Starlight Casino... must be in more areas...

Got a buddy who work for Shaw. If you are affected by down time. This is because they are replacing some node around your area.

:alone: I just live 1 block away

No problem with Shaw.

Im sick of Shaw. Maybe because I have basic 15 but that's no excuse why I have buffering issues watching youtube.

Is telus speeds better with their dedicated lines? I wanna make the jump from shaw but I gotta sign a contract to lock in at the low price.

My shaw TV has been down all day. Super annoying considering today was the day I decided to stay in. Apparently it's nationwide issue.

Shaw TV works for me in Coquitlam

Works for me in Duncan

workin in e.van

Shaw is down in Nanaimo.

Shaw appears to be down near magee. Hell, my modem had only the power light on at one point lol

^Same. Happened twice to me within 30 minutes. Seems fine now.

anyone's cable down?

Shaw internet 150mb down for 80$. Not bad at all

Includes:
• Up to 150 Mbps* download speed
• Up to 15 Mbps* upload speed
• 1 TB / month data transfer∆

Upgrade To Shaw WideOpen Internet | 150 Mbps Speeds, High Speed Internet + 1TB Data

How does that 2 year deal work? I'm currently paying $93/month for 50Mbps

it's basically a contract, for 2 years. if u agree to stay with them for 2 years and keep internet 150, then u only pay $79/month for a 2 year term, then when the 2 year term ends, u move back to regular price of $135. at that point if there is still the 2 year plan offered, u can resign up a new contract and get $79/month again (if they have not raised the price for contracts after ur initial contract). i believe there is also price guarantee so if during anytime within the 2 year period they decide to raise the price of services, u still remain paying $79 only.

For those of you that's NOT with Shaw, it's actually
- $49.9/month for first year
- $79.9/month for 13-24th month
- 2 year contract

Or those that's already with Shaw...then $79.9/month X 24, 2 years contract.

Its a 2 year contract with the rate of $79.90 guaranteed during that time with no rate increase.

For new customers its $49.90 year 1 then $79.90 year 2.

There are internet only or internet+cable contract. The with +cable also locks in that rate.

After the 2 years, you can sign up again on a new contract at whatever price it is then.

Full disclaimer I'm a shaw employee, however not a phone rep.

Shaw called me up to offer me that 150 package, I'm tempted to get it even though I can't see any use for that speed. I'm a bit wary of contracts though, has anyone read all the fine print that goes with this?

What specifics define a "new customer"? Address or name?

If two people live in the same household, for example, roommates, can both get the new customer deal?

Name I believe.

Shaw adding $3 to my bill again on August 1st :smug:

Currently, my shaw account is under my dad's name. If I want to take advantage of the $49.90, will I get the promotion if I switch it to my name?

Or do I have to cancel first and then sign up using my name? That would be consider a "new" customer right?
