try moving the powerline to another plug with only the powerline plugged in. It might be a little better. it also depends on how old the house is,as the cable is not as good in older places. also depends on which powerline model you have as well.

I can tell you that's the deal Novus is offering(I work there btw and no please call us if you want the deal do not PM me lol.).

If you are an existing customer and like this package just email us. Is faster this way. Currently if you call to get this promo you might need to wait on hold for 10+ mins. It is currently offer only to existing customer but if you are thinking of switching to us just mention you saw this deal online or your friend is a Novus customer and they got this deal. The promo will expire on April 01.

I just switched to https://www.can-com.com/internet/high-speed-internet .

Because of a CRTC ruling 3rd party re sellers are able to sell for cheaper.

does shaw have a retention package for cable? lol

i've suspended my cable service for a couple months now as i play around with streaming things...i'm most likely gonna cut it altogether unless there's an offer i can't refuse.

i was paying for personal tv + sports package for ~$60
i really only want the sports channels and a couple of channels for news/miscs. I can't do the skinny $25 package cus that doesn't have sports.

Nope CRTC ruling you must have a basic cable package before you can add any other packages. Is to ensure and protect Canadian channels are protected. CRTC ruling have also said all other add on channels you must be able to order per channel basis above the cable service. Still not happening. One of the reason is that a lot of the channels are under contract so as long as the contract are not expire channel providers such as Shaw/Telus/Novus have to honor the contract. Once the contract expire then some channels might be able to order.

I can ensure you though you will end up playing close to a package if you only want one channel. For example for CNN HD you can order it for $4 for that channel only or add the whole News package for $7. Sportsnet360 is $7 but you can get the whole Sportsnet package for $10. Unless you really care about saving a few dollars it is better to get the package. A lot of people have been wanting HBO standalone only. Well have fun paying $15 just for HBO or pay for the The movie network package for $17.95.

If you removed TV completely you would qualify for the intro TV offers again.

i'll probably end up cancelling it altogether

started paying for SNET Now at $25/month and i really can't complain. Unlike GC, it's got no blackout so hockey's covered for me.
i'll probably end up buying the MLS service for the year cus the Whitecaps don't have regional blackouts this season either.

all that horse shit regulation is the reason why cable will die pretty soon

looks tempting for me to swtich. let us know how the service is a couple weeks in

Hoping someone can provide some insight here.

Prior to me changing to Shaw Internet 150. I had one router outputting a mixed signal and one powerline wireless adapter that had the same SSID and pw as the main router, but on different channels. How I understood it was that depending on where I was in the house, my WiFi would jump to which ever had the better signal.

Just changed to Internet 150. The new Hitron modem/router puts out two SSIDs, one 2.4Ghz and one 5Ghz. I still have the powerline wireless adapter, which hasn't been updated yet, so it now has a different SSID/pw than the new channels.

What is the best way to get the same setup as I had prior to changing to Internet 150?

Thanks!

If your powerline wireless adapter outputs both 2.4 and 5.0Ghz, I would change the SSIDs of whatever device is easiest to match the other device. IE. If you can easily login to the Shaw modem/router/wireless, change its SSIDs to match your powerline wireless adapter, or vise versa.

If your powerline wireless adapter only support 2.4Ghz, then just change the SSID for 2.4.

brining this thread back to life

anybody use Can Com internet ? about half price.
plz post feedback . thanks

Don’t use power line adapters people, they are garbage and only cause issues.

Google WiFi is by far the best setup I’ve dealt with but it’s fairly pricey

I can see google WIfI being useful in homes but I have people calling in asking for help to setup their google WiFi in an apartment..... Most people in apartments only need a basic $50 router. Unless you are into serious gaming, running a home business or hosting your own servers you don't need a $100+ router. I guess people get is cause is the "new hipster toy"

In a small apartment the ISP’s router should be more than fine. You shouldn’t having to be use any sort of boosters other than the ISP’s router or like you said, a sub 100 router for the ISP’s who don’t provide one.

Shitty speeds in apartments are almost never contributed to a lack of signal strength and almost always saturation.

Also if you’re having to call in to setup google WiFi, you probably should have gone with an ISP that provides a router as I’ve honestly never setup anything to do with networking that was easier than google WiFi.

I use it in a second home so it's not used that much. But when I use it the service had been good. It's a Shaw reseller so the service should the same as Shaw just with less support.

Got a good deal with telus for internet 300 for a year

Anyone living in Delta, specifically Nordel, that has a good recommendation for internet providers? Called Telus and Shaw, they said they can only provide Internet 75. That's garabage, considering we're used to gigabit download speeds LOL

Nordel has the curse of providers using hella old infrastructure left over from Delta cable and the like. Telus’s fiber build has been delayed there and Shaw doesn’t seem to want to invest in new infrastructure so if you need faster than 75 you’re going to be looking at tethering LTE/5G connections or Satellite (enjoy the lag)

You don’t have much in terms of options because all the other providers are just piggybacking off the Shaw and Telus infrastructure

lol nordel
good luck

whats up with telus fucking always changing the rates and me having to call back and ask them wtf is up, then they prorate it next bill.

my unlimited internet, keeps switching to 1tb limit too. though all of the pricing and shit is contracted. i've been with them for 12 years, this shit is the only thing that keeps reoccuring. no other problems.

^ Telus has pulled stuff like that on so many people I know that I refuse to deal with them.

I've been with Telus for coming up to 3 years. My monthly bill has never been consistent, not a single month the amounts are the same. The services I am using has never changed since day 1. I don't understand how their billing department even able to reconcile their books...

It's rather annoying and waste of time having to call them every month to ask them what is up. Now I've gotten tired of doing so that as long as the amount is within a reasonable range to what I should be paying. Every damn thing I call it ends up being an 1 hour conversation, don't got time doing that every month.

yeh i rented another tv box and returned it pre-covid. every month i'm still getting the charge and have been on chat/phone to cancel it and i wait a long while and they magically do it, only to see the charge again...i'm too tired and this month switched to email i don't have the patience. it's only $5/month extra (my bill is never the same either).

even though it's fiber i'm tempted to switch back to shaw 150 or whatever...shit's getting silly...i'm in E.Van so I believe i have sevearl options, when i have time i'll be looking in to it.
