[ForbiddenX]

what were the details? I think my family's paying a lot more than that for hd/hispeed/phone. This seems like a good bundle

[gnat.]

oh, and i forgot to ask...is shaw internet reliable? i hear from a lot of my friends that they break up easily...causing your internet to go down from anywhere between an hour to 2 days or so?

without details since op decided to take it off, i'll just assume, this deal is only available to NEW shaw customers only IF u switch from telus or bell and show them a monthly bill as proof.

where did u hear this from? i've been with shaw since rogers days (so 8+ years of cable internet), and the only downtimes that i get r either from power outages, or maintenance/hardware upgrade in which they provide adequate notice to u, and maybe the once a year disconnect (but usually back within 10-30mins and usually occurs late late at night, arnd 3am)

and if you require wireless you have to pay more correct? i'm with telus right now, and we're moving. and i was looking to shaw cable...cause we need a change. so if it's cheaper we can just get the whole bundle

[TOS'd]

^ If you need wireless internet you dont have to pay more to Shaw. You just need to buy a wireless router, if you dont already have one (and wireless cards for desktops without them). It's not like Telus with the build in modem and router all in one.

[slammer111]

^ Meh, same price as Telus, except you get regular internet (not lite) instead of hi-speed/extreme.

Telus you also get a PVR decoder with a 3yr contract. Not sure if Shaw has any equivalent.

[CivicS]

you do not need to be a new shaw customer to get this deal. I am a Shaw internet/cable customer, but I told them that I am shopping around for deals and basically ask them what they can do to keep me. Then they offered me this deal...

The promotion gives you:
Shaw HD plus: Ch2-58, basic HD channels and HD Plus
Extreme internet
Shaw digital phone with free North America calling
Free PVR rental for 2 years

I called back TELUS to see if they can match this deal, they eventually pass me to L&R, but they cant even come close to what shaw is offering....I was a bit disappointed with TELUS, ALL the CSRs were pretty awful and they don't seem interested to match anything from shaw or keep me as a customer

[gnat.]

^ i'm looking into the shaw channels too! and every time i look into it, it makes me want every single package!!!! why? cause movie channels are AWESOME, and everything else cause i'm greedy-_____-!!! seriously need to control my tv-needs! LOL

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

so is this package still available?


no HD tho

[valent|n0]

any shaw CSR here or know a CSR extension ?
we need more info about this TV, Phone, Internet bundle for $80

[tiger_handheld]

i called n they didn't seem to care if i left. mind u i've been with shaw since 2000 or so , n some members who got the deal might've been with them longer...

[TOS'd]

^ you have to cancel and sign up as a new account to get the deal.

or so ive been told, by op.
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[TOPEC]

ok i know what is going on now, this is a retentions deal,
u have to call in and pretend to cancel, so they will give u this deal to "try" and keep u as their customer. u really really need to know how to out talk them.

also, to those who think loyalty counts, no it doesnt work for shaw, no matter how long u've been with them, they wont give a fuck, u have to out smart them to get them to give u anything for free or deals, if u cant out talk them they wont give u anything.
i'd been with them since rogers day, so arnd 15+ years and they didnt offer me any deals when ever i talk to them.

[MaximalLazy]

My family is currently paying 89 bucks for basic channels + extreme internet(no shaw phone). Gonna try calling soon.

Please Post more Details!! if you can

[gnat.]

we called in today, signed up for the tv HD, phone, extreme internet i believe..(my mom was dealing with it...so she didn't ask for details and/or didn't give me any details)
anyhow. the guy said, HD only has 13 channels. i was wondering if you guys know whether or not it comes with the digital channels as well?
i think once they come and install on saturday, i'll have to try and figure things out...and if they're not exactly what i want then i'll probably try adding stuff onto the tv plan. cause i want some espn!!!

BUT they did allow us to keep our phone number right now, except...it'll take 3-4 weeks to port!

how long have u guys been with rogers? how did the convo go?

[gnat.]

how long have u guys been with rogers? how did the convo go?

we weren't originally with shaw. our phone was with telus, internet was with telus, and tv was with bell. the talk went alright i'm assuming (it wasn't i that was talking to the attendant) apparently we got internet, phone and tv for $85 + $7 (for asian programming).
we signed with them this morning as new clients.

[TOPEC]

what do u mean by "signed" with them?
did u sign contract? or do u mean, u transfered over and r using them now?

[gnat.]

transferring over i mean.
wrong use of word. sorry.

[quasi]

This isn't $85 but I just called the retention dept. for the first time ever and I was pleasantly surprised. My current bill is $136.80 a month for digital, HD sports package, Extreme Internet, Phone with caller ID and all that crap. I told him what telus was offering and he looked up my account. He's like ya you've been with us a long time, you've never been offered a promo, you pay your bill on time so I can offer you exactly what you have except change the sports HD package to all the HD channels and I'll do it for $90.90 a month for one year.

Savings of about $50 a month after tax, be polite and you shall receive. Don't care about PVR offers or anything like that because I already have them although he did offer me a free digital HD box (non PVR) for 3 years but I had no need for it.

Edit: I never threatened to leave or anything either I just told them that Telus was offering me a really good rate right now for one year and was wondering if there was anything they could do to get my bill close to it?

[MaximalLazy]

^ How much after the first year?

[willystyle]

I have the Shaw Triple Bundle Package.

$79 per month ($7 - Chinese Channels, $5 - HD Plus)

Shaw Extreme (1 year)
Basic Phone with Call Display (1 year for Unlimited North America)
HD Basic, Basic Cable (Ch 2-58), Chinese Channel

So I'm $86 per month before tax. That's a deal.

[Crowtservo]

That's what I would like to know. Probably goes up to ~$200.

[tiger_handheld]

we need retention rep names. considering that shaw seems to dish out plans at teh discretion of the rep...

[quasi]

^ How much after the first year?

Back to normal price for me but I've been paying that for years so I'll take the $600 savings for this year then possibly switch to Telus after a year.

[willystyle]

What happens after a year?
Extreme High Speed will go back to Reguar High Speed

Basic Phone line will be Basic Phone line without the Unlimited North America Long Distance.

That's what I would like to know. Probably goes up to ~$200.
No it doesn't. It stays at the same price. Only the extra options such as the Extreme High Speed and Unlimited Long Distance within North America calling goes back to its basic service.

[MaximalLazy]

got this just now

$86.50 for Shaw Extreme Internet, ch1-58, 13 HD channels, Phone with unlimited NA calling.

And there is an option for addition HD channels for like $5, which covers like Discovery channel, national geographic blah blah blah etc.

[j3d]

I just got the Shaw triple bundle. I'll now be paying $79 plus tax thanks to this thread.

[willystyle]

Has anyone successfully switched to Shaw from Telus for the Shaw Digital Phone service?

How does the transition work? Do I need to cancel my home phone service with Telus first (to prevent being charged extra)?

I am planning to keep my existing telephone no.

[MaximalLazy]

I think Shaw will deal with Telus, and therefore your will not be charged extra since you will receive your Shaw services after your Telus bill cycle ends. :S

[corzo_cone]

reposted it

Are you getting free HD PVR boxes as well?

[willystyle]

what free HD PVR boxes?

[Crowtservo]

Just got this today thanks to the Corzo.

$85.95 for 12 months with the first month free. I was offered 2 free HD PVR boxes (rentals) as well but I'm only taking 1 since I already bought one of the new boxes and only have 2 TVs. The free boxes are the 160GB version.

Ultimately over the 12 month period I only save like ~$20 total but I get a free extra HD PVR box and unlimited phone service that I wouldn't have otherwise signed up for.

Also I think the OP forgot to mention that you get some international calling minutes as well (she first said 1000 then said 250 so I dunno).

[TekDragon]

Tried to get this, no go for me. Already with Shaw, and would need to cancel and place under someone else's name. Seeing as the wife is already co authorized on the account, no one else to activate with. :(

[BLUETIGER]

That's what I would like to know. Probably goes up to ~$200.

that's probably true. but it's not a contract so you're free to choose what services you would like to keep within your bundle etc.

[BLUETIGER]

my friend shaw csr said after a year prices will be at 105

Did you have a promo with them in the past? Not sure if it even makes a difference but he did say to me OK you've been with us for over 13 years and you've never had a promo so no problem.

[terror7]

I am paying $90 for basic cable, chinese chaneel and high speed internet.........feel got ripped off for longggggggg time.

Pmed you Corzo.

[Franjo]

Thanks to this thread, I just saved 20 bucks a month for a year from Bell. Gave them a call, didn't threaten them, I just said I'd like a break and mentioned this offer from Shaw. I didn't lose any of my subscriptions or anything. There was zero hesitation on their side. Thanks!

[terror7]

First of all, I want to thanks corzo_cone for this thread.

I just called Shaw today. At first, I told the lady from CSR that Telus has TV/Internet/Phone bundle and will you guys price match them. She told me that Telus force you to sign contract and will increase the price after 3 years. (Shaw increased the price 2-3 times a year without the contract :( ). And she told me she can transfer me to another department and I could talk to them.

So I talked to another guy about it, he put me on hold for few min and give me this offer

Shaw Digital Phone Basic:
- Local phone service
- Caller display

Shaw internet:
- High speed Internet

Shaw digital and hd tv:
- Classic & HD Plus
- 1 HD PVR
- Chinese Channel +$7
$84.95 + $7 + Tax = $99.95 per month

I told him I need few days to think about it. What do you guys think?? Should I call again and ask for Xtreme Internet or 1 more HD PVR?

If you're a new customer get the number of the rep from corzo and get the better bundle. If you are already a Shaw user then take the retentions deal they offered.

[wasabisashimi]

what is a retention deal?

I already have shaw high speed internet and basic digital cable. I called shaw today and they offer to transfer my home phone service from telus and give me a triple play bundle:
1) high speed extreme interent 1 yr
2) class cable channel 2-58 with free digital tuner ( non-HD) 1yr
3) home phone with caller ID 1yr

All for 79.99$


Should I take this deal? He doesnt want to give me HD plus or HD box for free rental, which Corzo the op has mention above.

Am I unlucky? and should I take this plan? (it is not a contract)

The plan Corzo mentioned is for new customers only so you can't compare the two.

A retentions offer is when you threaten to leave and they offer a promo to keep you on.

[wasabisashimi]

so i should just take the triple play bundle then?

[corzo_cone]

Looks like the deal is done.
