I got a decent deal on shaw recently. Been with them for over 10+ years at both my house and my parents/in laws house. So we all got the following

120 bucks for 2 years.

TV basic + HBO + Crave + Chinese HD channels + homephone + internet 300 (150, but everyone gets upgraded to 300 for free) and the blue sky box.

I thought it was a pretty good deal.

Edit: There is currently a new speical promo from Novus for Internet 100 or Internet100 + Cable. Just call and ask about it.

What is this Telus deal that everyone is talking about? Just in case Novus asks when I call in.

is that 120 + tax? or 120 total?

and when you say "TV Basic," is that limited TV or Small TV as per the current shaw bundle packages

I have the same deal pretty much..

[Hondaracer]

There is a current promotion on till the 6th if anyone is interested, essentially 24 month promo pricing instead of the typical 6 month promo then pricing going up

So High speed 25 regular price: $80/Month, 24 month promotion price: $55/month (for the full 24 months)

High speed 50/75 Regular price: $85/month, 24 month promotion price: $60/month (for the full 24 months)

Highspeed 150: Regular $95 Promo $60

Highspeed 300: Regular $110 Promo $75

Highspeed 750: Regular $140 Promo $105

Obviously the speeds over 75 are mostly for fiber eligible customers.

On top of that, you can get PIK TV completely free for the entire term (which is like an android box with basic cable channels included and specialty channels charged per channel)

There is also elgibility for home security if anyone is interested, on any 2 year term you can get the basic home security package for free for 6 months ($18 month thereafter) for the basic package with the panel, door sensors, and motions etc.

Hit me up if interested

if you guys go over to redflagdeals, there are some killer promos for telus 300 right now (like 75 a month and 250$ credit lol),

I got lucky and telus matched Shaws offer that I got for internet300 for 45 a month + 250$ credit. essentially 35 a month for 2 years

[blkgsr]

I need a new deal, with Shaw and paying too much for internet, like $90 for 150 (ie 300 now)

any links to the specific RFD

Never saw this thread until now. I think I'm getting hosed right now with TELUS. This is what I get right now but thinking of doing TV as well.

TELUS Internet 75 (included data:550GB)
$85.00
Additional Email
Dynamic IP
24 MO - Internet Discount - effective Feb 15, 2018 to Feb 14, 2020
-$10.00
Advanced Wi-Fi Modem Rental -Free
Service Agreement - 2 Year

[Hondaracer]

That’s pretty standard.

You could add PIK TV for free essentially or very cheap. Optik I may be able to get you a deal for a 2 year term but haven’t been so successful with other members lately. PM me if you’re interested

Say no to data caps.

[Hondaracer]

Unlimited data with TELUS is only $5 a month

They should not have caps in the first place.

[Hondaracer]

I’ll never tell somone to stay with our service if their paticular service is shit. There are some cases where there is literally nothing service providers can do to improve their paticular service for reasons like geographical location etc.

However, using a “3rd party” service provider like the one you posted is almost always the last resort and the vast majority of them are simply piggy backing off the major providers infrastructure and using that service under their name.

So the trade off for getting the “free” unlimited data cap is, virtually non-existent customer service, garbage hardware, and most of the time, having to buy your own router (most only provide a modem and then you have to buy your own router)

While Telus 3200 and the Shaw gateway aren’t perfect they are better than the vast majority of consumer level routers you’d buy sub $300-$400. So that’s another factor to consider in these 3rd party providers.

In my experience the people using these services are the exact ones that shouldn’t be.

Edit* and exactly like I said, on that link you posted, they will be $25 cheaper a month for their high speed 75 service, however they only provide a modem, no router. So you can either rent their garbage for $5 a month, or buy it for $50. Not a great solution.

Shaw has a promo right now

Internet 75
modem rental
Small TV (pick 5 theme packs)
Blue Sky box

$82/mo + tax on 2 year value plan

I was calling about a bill adjustment and they mentioned this. signed up.

[Hondaracer]

That’s good.

Honestly the modem/box rental is a non-starter for the big providers. Never think you’re getting some sort of deal because they are throwing in the “box rental”

The only thing you should ever be paying rental on are additional TV boxes over the 2-3 included

My student plan is expiring for Shaw.

Can anyone help me with a plan? I don't want to sign up for a contract plan unless it's a smoking deal.

Currently i'm at
Shaw 75 <-- I don't need anything faster
Small TV <-- wouldn't mind upgrading.

with my student deal its $90.09 after taxes
from next month it will be $155 after taxes

I would like to get this figured out before I get hit with the $155. I don't mind switching to Telus if there is a good offer on the table.

If anyone is interested in Internet only packages, Telus is essentially giving away their "PIK TV" system now with any internet plans. If you have a 4k apple TV already its kind of the best case scenario because you could get your internet plan on full 2 year promo pricing, get the "PIK TV" for free, and essentially have basic TV and internet for the discounted price of the internet alone.

PIK TV is like a lite version of our optik TV, basic channels, some on demand content, and you can add specialty channels with similar pricing to the full optik packages.

Also if anyone is interested in Home security, our security promotions are just rolling out now, you can get basic monitored security for free for 6 months with 1 other service (internet, TV, etc.) then after that its either $25 or $35 a month depending on your package. The system is pretty good full android touch screen interface, wireless sensors, or we can also take over existing hardwired systems currently installed in homes.

is this for new customers or can it be applied to existing?

For existing it may be like free for 6 months then 5$ a month after that

no theme packs as far as i know, but the individual channels are priced better than optik usually. IE. HGTV would normally be a $3-$5 alacarte i think its only $2 with PIK

Was actually looking into home security.. Are there many surprise costs with it?

Right now I am only rocking telus gigabit internet

[Hondaracer]

Things add up when you add additional features or components to packages.

The basic protect package is the main panel, 3 door/window contacts, 2 motions. Additional motions and window contacts are usually 15-20 a peice one time fee.

When you step up to the bigger packs with cameras etc. you get more sensors, smoke/CO2, flood detection etc.

The problem with the Qolsys panel which is the nice touch screen one is we do not have a free secondary panel available. If you want the slightly smaller secondary panel it’s a one time $220 cost. But it looks pretty nice to have in a bedroom etc.
