[vitaminG]

only reason why i keep cable is because of live spots and Jeopardy

If somthing like DAZN can pick up all or most of live sports i'd probably drop it.

I've exhausted all options in terms of trying to stream live sporting events, it's just never good enough

With a vpn hot can watch everything on dazn, they got nba/mlb/NHL in Germany, plus some euro soccer and college stuff too

[syee]

what can you do for those of us with shaw 150 already?

i have that two year locked in price promo

got the blue sky tv for 3 months free but there's no point when you don't get half the channels. only usable part is the VOD

Did you get anything from Shaw on this blkgsr? I'm just starting my 2nd year of the promo and my bill is about $80 more than the promo period. Want to try get it down a bit if I can.

[!LittleDragon]

Scored a retention deal with Telus

Fiber 150 + Unlimited download
Basic TV + News package
Land line

All for $102 + tax. Got my first bill, total was $112

[TouringTeg]

Whats the best deal for just internet these days? I'm on Telus, but their pricing sucks. Thinking of switching to TekSavvy

Telus called me to offer a different internet package and I said no and that I was considering switching to shaw.

The CSR immediately offered an internet only Pure Fibre 150 plan for 12 months for $51.74 tax in. I am saving about$47 per month vs my previous unlimited plan. Data cap is 1024 GB per month.

All for $81 tax inc.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Signed up with a student discount at Shaw.

Internet 150 - 50
Medium TV - 30
Cantonese Pack - 10

Got an additional $10 off for 10 months.

$90 after tax.

Telus is doing fiber in my area now, so I might jump ship if they got a good deal somewhere. Too bad Telus' hotspots are nowhere as good as ShawOpen.

The price I got was on a 2 year contract so I'm good until Aug 2019. If you have fiber in your area, get it. Even without the new deal, the Fiber 150 was cheaper than Optik 50... That's gotta be a first for Telus, get 3x the speed for less money...

[J-Chow]

Renewed my Telus contract for 2 years.

Internet 100 (don't have 150 in my area)
Basic TV + 6 packages + Chinese channel

$60 before taxes for 12 months.

seems like new customers have little bargaining room with the big companies. Got offered whatever bundles are online and unwilling to price match or give further discounts for signing up. Anyone have suggestions to work around this?

Sometimes I see Telus setting up booth in the malls. Those guys are more willing to offer you some discount since they get paid by commission.

[DavidNguyen]

Alright. so i was trying to cut the cord and live on Netflix and SporsNet NOW.

i called shaw saying i wanted to cancel my cable services and wanted to apply for INTERNET 150. she asked me "why do i wanna cancel?" i said "TOO EXPENSIVE. i only wanna pay 100 a month"
she put me on hold. came back with this offer:

internet 150
cable with 5 theme packs

$100 plus 12% tax. $112. im more than happy

i was paying:
internet 75
Cable with 4 Theme packs for $150 taxes in

[dapperfied]

We're you already under a contract and wanted to cancel?


Got about 10 months left of my 2 year.. looking for better plans or cancel just cable.

i thought i was on contact. she never mentioned anything about it.
cause im sure 10 months ago i signed up for my old plan.

doesnt hurt to call in and ask. i told em i wanted to cancel and they transfered me over to retention's. perhaps pretend you didnt know you were on contract and see what happens. haha what do you got to lose?

good Luck


oh i forgot to mention. on my old plan i was renting 3 Cable Receivers for 25 a month. YIKES!
she threw in 2 "newer gateway" receivers for free with my new plan

[Armind]

What’s the penalty to cancel contracts?

[Hondaracer]

I switched from Shaw to Telus fiber recently, I had a full year left on my Shaw contract, was $250 to buy it out, Telus gave me a $50 credit towards that, plus $100 off first bill plus the free TV (which I would have way rather taken the current promo of the visa GC but oh well)

The fiber is pretty killer, never had a problem with my Shaw 150 however the fiber is noticeably faster and picture seems better (compared to the older gateway system at least)

[DavidNguyen]

What’s the penalty to cancel contracts?

Check your bill. I think it's either 15 or 20 bucks multiply by how many months you got left in your contract

[hud 91gt]

Whats the best deal for just internet these days? I'm on Telus, but their pricing sucks. Thinking of switching to TekSavvy

No one has any intel on this service?

I've been Shaw/Telus free for a few years now. Been bumming off my neighbour for $30 a month for a while now. Unfortunetely were both moving haha.

I'd like to try something new, TekSavvy looks like a good option. We only search the internet and probably watch a maximum of 7 hours of netflix a week.

[DJ Milk]

I was on Teksavvy paying $50 for internet 30 with unlimited data but recently switched to Lightspeed because it’s cheaper. Now I’m paying $40 for internet 75 with unlimited data.

When you sign up with Teksavvy, there’s a bigger initial start up cost compared to Lightspeed. Teksavvy is based out of Ontario and customer service is very good. Lightspeed is based out of Burnaby and customer service is not the best.

[Hondaracer]

Lightspeed is still around eh fuck lol..remember my grandparents used lightspeed for their dial up service back in the day

I work in the industry but honestly dont know how anyone deals with anything less than 75 MBPS down.. HD youtube vids burn up 15-18mbps alone, then you get into 4K content where you're pushing 22+

Teksavvy is a reseller so you won't get a different product than what you'd get from Shaw or Telus. (I'm not sure if that answers your question or not) The only difference will be a cheaper price point and customer service.

As for Shaw contracts, I remember asking them specifically when I signed my contract and you should be able to change services within your plan without incurring a penalty (but you can't cancel obviously). With that said, since they've got you locked in, there's really no incentive to give you any promotional offers so the best you could do is switch to a lower priced service if you just want to save a few $$ off your monthly bill. Certainly doesn't hurt to ask and see what they can offer though.

[yameen]

paying internet 25, unlimited bandwidth, optik tv basic with sports them package and worldview chinese package, and home phone for $55+taxes per month for first year and then $75+taxes for the second year. it seems ppl at the end of 2017 got better deals with internet 100 or the fibre optic option.

[tiger_handheld]

shaw 2yr value plan

1x blue sky boxes
1x modem
internet 75
limited tv with 4 theme packs

$92 per month taxes in.

[N.V.M.]

I see Shaw is laying off 6000+ employees. Might be a good time to try to grab a deal.

[MR_BIGGS]

A while back, got the following loyalty discount on a two year service agreement from TELUS.

- Pure Fibre Optik Internet 150
- Essentials
- Two theme packs
- TMN, HBO, Crave

All in for $47.74

The discounts are for 12 months, so i will need to call back halfway through the service agreement to renew my deal.

[Hondaracer]

I’m assuming you live in a high rise?

[Edison_Chen]

Damn I need to call Shaw too.

I pay $174.xx for standard high speed Internet + Chinese channels + some basic HD and basic home phone....

I feel like raped every month. It used to be around $130ish and since us gone up. I’m not on a contract.

Yes! Call em! Say you wanna cancel your cable and apply for Internet 150 cause cable too damn expensive. They will put you on hold then should come back with a nice offer.

I posted this a few post back. They offered me

Internet 150 plus 5 themes pack for 100 a month over 2 years. Internet 150 alone was 100 already.

Once my contract is up. I think I'll just keep the internet.
Streaming is way better. Just gotta teach my parents how to use it.

[Hondaracer]

if anyone's looking to switch over from their current provider to Telus, hit me up, i may be able to get ya a bit better than whats advertised online and you wont have to wait on hold with phone support etc.

Pretty much all of Vancouver and most of Surrey is on fibre now so you can get symetrical 150 up/150 down, while i never had a problem with Shaw 150, the fibre is obviously a superior technology.

My 2 year contract is up with Shaw in a week, any good deals out there?

Not a current deal but earlier this year
I got internet 150 with free modem rental and 2 cable boxes with 150 channels? For $109 taxes in.

I called in saying I dont need cable anymore just fast internet. Lady put me on hold and came back with that deal. Internet 150 alone is 90 bucks so I only pay 10 more for the cable

[jnesss]

relateively happy with my shaw tripleplay promo. when it’s about to expire, i just ask nicely for an extension and they’re usually ok to accomodate my request.

Check on RFD. I believe Shaw is also matching the offer for a year. Some people have gotten the deal for 2 years.

[Hondaracer]

Murdoc is in mission so probably doesnt have Fibre yet.

just an FYI for anyone re-upping on a contract, there really is no "rental" fee for modem or the first 2 STB's anymore, both providers give the first 2 boxes for free, sometimes you can squeeze a 3rd out for free but it's not typical.

Again if anyone is switching and considering Telus hit me up and i might be able to squeeze another 20-50 off the best offer

[striderblade]

Damn no Telus fiber in my area. Best they can do in my area Telus 15? Wtf.

[Ch28]

Another thing to note is that Shaw had a booth at PNE last year that had pretty good plans being offered. We ended up taking their offer and mentioning it to Telus retentions and they matched the internet and threw in basic cable for free. My gf likes having basic cable so she can have that on at times.

[Hondaracer]

There hasnt been much luck with saving people money switching to Telus from Shaw recently, however there is a deal ongoing right now that you may be able to save some dough as a student:

"post-secondary students with a valid student ID are eligible for promotional pricing on TELUS Internet for 8 months, with the first month free. No term contract is required. This offer is also stackable with the Pik TV add-on"

Eligible for both fiber and copper services. Internet 25 would probably be about $35 a month on this deal

Hit me up if interested and i could refer you, as i dont think these deals are available online yet

actually I do have Telus fibre in my area... Just because I live in Mission doesn't mean I don't have the good stuff lol

[Hondaracer]

Are you sure? As far as I know Telus hasn’t even started the build there.

[Tegra_Devil]

I have Telus fibre 250 in kamloops. Any good deals if I get tv?

[Nabatron]

I think our new place in west Kelowna doesn't even have telus fibre yet:(

[dapperfied]

My Shaw contract is ending next month. Gonna ditch cable, looking for a good internet deal!

[Hondaracer]

If anyone is looking for, or just has straight internet with Telus (fiber or not) we have a promotion on right now for our PIK TV, essentially an android box that has a handful of TELUS Optik channels built in of your choice.

You can get HBO, TSN, etc. sales have been shit so were essentially giving it away for free right now, it’s like $20 one time fee for the hardware that’s yours forever, then the service is free for 6 months and $5 a month after that. Excellent opportunity for people who only have 1 TV or just want sports etc.

I’ll post more of the pricing breakdown later today but hit me up if you’re interested. For brand new customers you’re probably looking at about $80 a month for HS50 or 75 and the Pik TV service.

[Tegra_Devil]

Does this applies to existing customer.

[Hondaracer]

for existing customers id try to log in and see if you can apply it under your account, i have a feeling only new customers are eligible though.

For the Premium PikTV channels i beleive it's channel dependant, HBO is either $8 or $10 i believe

info (aside from pricing) on channels here:

Existing customers are eligible :)

[corollagtSr5]

Can you login piktv using the app?
Also how much to just buy the piktv box instead of renting for $5-$10 a month?

[Hondaracer]

You can use the PIK TV app and watch all the channels you have with PIk anytime on your phone as well as on demand content.

Right now the PiK TV is $25 total, one time fee. It’s being rebated $75 right now. The monthly payment is for the channels you choose, once you’ve purchased the PIK TV it’s yoirs forever. However if you leave Telus you lose the ability to watch the channels obviously and it’s only use is the android box portion of it.

[MarkyMark]

We're moving to Langley and we called Telus to get our cable/internet moved and they said they don't have any service at all in Langley, wtf?

[Hondaracer]

Also if anyone is interested in the Telus BOOST we’ve been pushing it’s actually a pretty decent product.

https://i.imgur.com/XLPzzch.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/brphWrm.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/AYl2am7.jpg

For those unfamiliar with the tech, these nodes create a “mesh network” a singular SSID broadcast from two different points. When your signal drops below a certain level the device seemlessly connects to the next boost to extend the range of your Wi-Fi network.

TELUS essentially copied Google WiFi which is $400+ for their 3 puck system. We offer this 2 puck starter pack for $120 or on monthly installments. Also a 30 day money back guarantee if it doesn’t work out for you.

If you have decent speeds (50+) and are still having WiFi issues this could be a good solution that is reasonably inexpensive

If anyone is interested hit me up and I can have the kit mailed out to you within a day or so

[DJ Milk]

Do you have to be with Telus to buy it or could anyone buy the kit?

[syee]

Not a bad price for a mesh setup. Does it have to use the Telus modem/router/AP or can it work with any setup?

I think Asus also has their own firmware update (AiMesh) that allows a lot of their relatively current routers to act as mesh AP's if you've already got an Asus router or two kicking around.

I should be getting my PureFibre 300/300 setup this Saturday thanks to Hondaracer. (unless of course Shaw decides to give me an offer I can't refuse)

RS Group Buy?

RS Member/Telus Employee discount?

If you can get the price to $65/unit - interested.

[Hondaracer]

Not gonna be possible most likely. The pricing is already our “promo” pricing as is.

And technically you can use them without being on a Telus network. However the Telus customer “My WiFi app” is what you use to set it up initially and control it going forward. I’m sure using it on a different network you’d get most of the functionality but couldn’t guarantee the troubleshooting etc which you may lose by not having the app. You could also login to the GUI and set things up that way

[corollagtSr5]

Data on the pik burned or waived on optik? How many piks can be used on one account?

[Hondaracer]

Only 1 PIK as it’s made to be an alternative to optic for people with just high speed service. More than one box you’re kinda forced to go with Optik.

When you are watching your “channels” the data does not count, however using YouTube, Netflix etc still counts towards the cap. We offer unlimited data now though for $5 a month and you May be able to swing getting it comped upon sign up.

[Hondaracer]

PIK TV Promo has been extended, so you can get it for $5 a month and $0 a month for the first 3 with an internet subscription (new or existing customer)

There's also some decent deals being tossed around that arent on the site ($80 for the first 6 months TV HS75 and Internet Pick 6 theme packs) and then approx $140 a month thereafter, so Telus pricing is attempting to be on par with Shaw.

Hit me up if interested, may be able to get a free BOOST tossed in on top of any sign up for Internet or TV + Internet

Also some promos for Existing customers getting 1GB of extra cellular data for free if you have services bundled with your cellular services.

Any current deals Hondaracer? Existing Telus user still waiting for fibre in neighborhood.

[Hondaracer]

Any current deals Hondaracer? Existing Telus user still waiting for fibre in neighborhood.

If Fiber is coming in the next few months you’re always better off waiting to re-up on an agreement once the Fiber is in place because they obviously want everyone on the new infrastructure. It will almost certainly come with a full hardware upgrade and most likely a speed upgrade at the current cost or cheaper than what you’re paying now.

Black Friday deals are still in place until January first with promo pricing for the full two year term on internet service and 6 months on Tv service.

I layed this out for another member who Pmed me but I will explain it here as well so everyone else can be on the same page

I know everyone wants to pay the same cost for the full two year term. However, that’s almost never the best way to save money. The way you usually pay the same cost for the entire agreement is when you take the free gift, ie. TV, google home, etc.

They then figure Ok you got the Tv so now your TV and internet will be $160/month for the full two years.

However, when you take the promo pricing or any sort of break on the pricing, I know it’s annoying when it changes to the higher rate, however the long term savings are -always- better. Instead of getting say a $700 Tv most of the time you stand to save 700/800/900 over the term of the contract.

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.

[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

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.

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

[Manic!]

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.

[tiger_handheld]

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

[nabs]

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.

[Hondaracer]

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?
can you add theme packs for the pik tv?

[Hondaracer]

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.

i know you said you don't want a contract but you may be interested in the deal in this redflagdeals thread

https://forums.redflagdeals.com/telus-internet-75-750mbps-55-150mbps-55-300mbps-55-pik-tv-300-credits-back-ab-bc-ymmv-2277745/

[tomatogunk]

Just switched to Shaw Blue Curve where I did a deal with an outbound call rep and got the following deal:

Blue Cure 300 + gateway

Year 1: $60 per month + taxes
Year 2: $75 per month + taxes
$250 activation credit

[rslater]

Just wanted to get some thoughts.

Currently on Telus PureFibre (paying $95 a month), but moving in our new place that doesn't have Telus fibre available. So they best they said they could offer was:
150 download speed/30 mbps upload.

Would deduct off $20 a month, to $75 a month for the remaining year on the contract as I'm loosing the fibre.

Shaw's option would be the Internet 600 with Blue Curve, which would be $55 for the first 6 months, and then $95 for the next 18.

First question is can I cancel Telus if i were to switch because I'm loosing the service i currently get, and not have to pay out a portion of the contract?

Secondly, going down to Telus 150, compared to Shaw 600 seems like a no brainer, but I really just exclusively stream apple tv and Netflix (no gaming), so wasn't sure if its that necessary or if i can still get away with the Telus 150.

[Hondaracer]

For high speed 150 on TELUS you’re going to be using a bonded connection (two separate phone lines) which, imo isn’t ideal nor does it work as effectively as Shaw’s coax connections I’d say

For your speed question I’d say 150 is already overkill for you. In most cases people are simply getting speeds for the sake of getting the faster speed. 150 is far more than adequate for most. The thing that the big speeds give you is overhead.

A weak signal at the far end of your house on high speed 600 is going to be much faster than a weak signal on high speed 50.

I disagree. Having 1Gb service I can download a movie in under a min.

[Hondaracer]

I disagree. Having 1Gb service I can download a movie in under a min.

One minute or 5, does it really matter?

Also the vast majority of sites, gaming services, etc throttle back their downstream bandwidth. You will -never- get gb speeds through things like steam, origin, etc.

Even with YouTube I highly doubt they allow even 100mb/s speeds for their buffering

Edit* also the vast majority of devices do not have Wi-Fi adapters capable of gigabit speeds. So if you primarily use Wi-Fi devices anything over 750 is usually a waste because even brand new iPads, iPhones, etc cannot do gigabit speeds

[TjAlmeida]

Is the Pik Tv live or is it all streaming past and current shows? Talked very briefly to a guy at Telus today. Looks like my condo is wired for Telus fiber. Online promo I was looking at is Telus 150 for $75 and pik tv free for the first 3 months 5 subscriptions then $5 a month there after. Guy also said they could sweeten it a bit with some billing credits.

First time signing up for internet/cable so hopefully making a reasonable choice.

[Hondaracer]

Pik has the essentials of the “live” tv included then you add additional channels for a cost

It’s a lot like the regular Optik however it’s really only meant for having a single Tv in the home. And then the on demand content etc.

"but i can do the quarter mile 0.5 seconds faster"

haha... we should go over to VIC forum and tell them they dont need 300HP in their car, cuz they're never gonna go 200km/h anyways

... 0.5 faster, 0.2 faster... same same but different? shrug

yeah... i have 150... im thinking of TRYING 300 to see if it even makes a difference.. i mean of course it'll make a difference. but will it make a difference in my LIFE. most of the time things are downloading and i go do something else, and when i come back it was done for a while.

will it lower my ping even more in PUBG so i don't suck? haha... from 60ms to 30ms.. that might make me a superior player right? RIGHT?!?!

[raysquared]

Can Pik TV promo be combined with the student discounted internet price?
I have just 1 TV and have Optik TV with a bunch of theme packs but don't watch anything but live sports.
I pay about $110 a month. Would adding TSN/Sportsnet to the pik TV be a better deal?

My PC is wired to the router so having 1Gb does work out. I do download from time to time and I don't really have to wait...... or having several things downloading at the same time. WiFi don't really card much since I only use my ipad from time to time and cell phone is mostly for what's app/we chat.

Do I need 1Gb. Not really but is free so why not use it.

[Hondaracer]

Yea well most people pay for their service and the added $15-$30 a month for the extra speed you’re not using adds up over a 2 year term.

I find also that with fiber, you’re overhead generally makes up for multi-device use. Ie. If somone or multiple people are using their phone, computers, iPads etc. if you were to run a hardwired speed test you still get your full download speed while other devices are currently using the bandwidth as well. So it’s not really a problem of multiple devices running at once when you’re at the 150/300 levels.

[bakasam]

Finally got Telus Fiber installed in my area but missed the boat when there were deals in late March.

Any deals lately?

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

ah fuck, spoke too soon. instead of 300, i got 750/750. i can change my mind within 30 days if i want.

i got it for 75 bux a month 2 year term.

i might switch to 300 for 65, or even stick with 150 for 55... lol

so far not really noticing any difference at all. my torrents still never hit max speeds, ever. but yes i can download a lot more stuff at the same time without speed drops. and my after VPN speeds are still 500/300ish.

maybe worth it??? maybe?

[Hondaracer]

Some current inside promos going on for Telus:

1. Student offer - Students with valid post-secondary ID can save $30 /mo on Internet 6 - 750, for 12 mo. (Example: Customer signs up for HS 75 for 55$/month, no contract)

2. If the customer re-contracts, they automatically get unlimited data. This is stackable with the 10$/month off when the customer re-contracts. This would be especially useful in cases where the customer is already paying 15$/month on unlimited data

3. HSIA: Save $35 on all Internet tiers (excluding Gigabit)/Optik TV: Save $20/mo for 24 months on 4 Theme Packs
• Must sign on for two years

As always theres no commitment if i shoot off a referral for anyone interested, at worst you could use the pricing as leverage with Shaw or future deals

[Hondaracer]

Last day for this promo, essentially $35 off a month for the full 2 years on any internet package.

If anyone interested hit me up and you can still get it to the end of the day today. For RS members that sign up through me i'll E-transfer any "commission" i get back to you if you sign up through me.

honestly i dont give a fuck about the measely commision, i just need statistics to move up in the ranks lol.. so if you sign up for TV/Internet etc. you could get another 60-80 back from me on top of the promo pricing.

[Euro7r]

^Gonna hit you up when I renew my contract in a few months.

Been having shitty customer service from billings department since I started my 2 year agreement. Literally every month is a different billing amount.....I thought on contract it should be the same amount you pay throughout (at least more or less the same).

So tired of calling them every month. The product service delivery is excellent, just billing sucks...

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

after several months, i can confidently say i do not notice any diff from 150/150 to 750/750.

[Tegra_Devil]

Im currently rocking the 750 for $60 w/ unlimited data...

Can that get any lower bundling with TV or home security? The wife and I have been humming and hawing about possible getting one of those.

Doubt you’ll get any cheaper than that. However by bundling either or both of those services may be significantly cheaper.

Ie. Generally home security can be $18 for the basic protect package with 2 services.

[Hondaracer]

As usual it’s on you to remember to cancel it, however if you just set a reminder in your phone pretty easy to login and cancel it. Hit me up I can add them to your account t

I hopped on a Shaw deal a few months ago:

40/month for Internet 300 with the latest xb6 modem. I thought that was a pretty good deal. contract for 2 years but i don't see myself not needing internet in the foreseeable future so 2 years was okay for me.

I'll likely call in at the end of my term hoping they will honor the continuation of 40/mo and not increase it otherwise I will shop elsewhere.

Our new condo has released a TELUS promo for new owners. Sign up for Internet 25, Optik TV Essentials, and Home Phone Lite on a 2 year service agreement and get the first year for $0. We have no need for the home phone.

We are current Shaw customers without a contract receiving Internet 15 and nearly all the TV channels (except for HBO) because I'm still on a very old package from 10 years ago ($170/mo) that is no longer offered. It costs me $180/mo after taxes.

Thoughts?

2yr NHO is HS300, Essentials, HP lite. Free first year. Second year you can change it to whatever suits you.

Figure out what you and your family still watch, and call Shaw and ask to speak to the Loyalty Care Team. Also figure out what your internet needs are. I thought everyone got upgraded to at least internet 20 a while ago when they took out 15. If you lock in to a 2 year contract they'll be able to give you better prices.

[Euro7r]

a bit out of the loop here... how do i get on this 750/$60 train?

Call them and see what they can offer you. If you don't like what they offer, call again next day and keep doing it until you get something you like. Actually this is what my friend did lol. He had a few days off from work, literally called Telus everyday trying to get this deal and every day a different agent would offer him a different deal. I guess this is if you have too much free time on hand haha.

[Hondaracer]

That deal is basically unheard of, I’ve never seen/heard of anyone getting that. With my employee discount of 40% off my HS150 costs more I think lol

[koukimonst3r]

I went for it, I was with Shaw for 2 years and TELUS is so much better in my opinion. There's so much free wifi out there as it is nowadays that the shaw open incentive didn't matter to me. I upgraded to internet 50 and Medium tv package and im paying 30 bucks a month.

NHO should be HS300 (unlimited data), TV essentials (up to 2, 4k boxes), home phone lite, free first year on 2yr contract. Can cancel 2nd year for $15/remaining months ($180). So if you plan to cancel, think of it as $15/month for 1yr.

I just renewed with Telus this morning. Pik 5 TV + Internet 75 + Home Line = $67. I opted out of Optik since rarely watch shows on TV, but nice to have TV when I do want to watch (app based with my options - tablet/computer/phone).

If I wanted Optik TV + Internet 75, Telus offered me $88. Not too far off than your Shaw deal.

Telus is trolling you with that plan they offered since they can literally offer that for 1/2 the price/even less than that since you'll be a new customer if you switch from Shaw.

[Hehe]

I'm on Pik5TV+Internet 300 for $70/mth. (add tax of course). Can't complain.

Nice. Im chatting with them right now. Gonna cut my cable and get 300 internet. Hopefully i can get this plan of yours

[Manic!]

You shouldn't have to haggle, wheel and deal, type in a special cheat code and spend hours on the phone to get an internet deal. Telus called 3 weeks back and asked if the can run fiber to the house. I said no problem. Checked the Telus website today and they want $70 for 50 down 10 up. They will give me $200 if I sign up for a 2-year deal. Making the final price $54. Can't wait for starling.


Anyone looking for no B.S. internet check out https://www.can-com.com $80 for 600 down no contract no haggling required.

I've been using Novus for almost two years and the service has been great. If you get a referral to Novus, both accounts get one free month of service. Just throwing it out there in case you don't know anyone else on Novus.

I thought about switching over to Telus because their reps came to my building to offer some promos. I took the day off work and their tech no showed. I rescheduled for another day. The tech called me 30 minutes before the appointment and said he didn't have the key to enter the telecom room in my building. Our building caretaker had already left for the day so I just said forget it.

[tiger_handheld]

final shaw deal

Internet 300
Small TV (with 5 theme packs)

$109/mo taxes included on 2 year term.

[Hondaracer]

Is “small” TV still with regular set top boxes etc?

Good to see you finally got a good deal lol

[GIZZ]

Telus installed fibre optic in my neighbourhood, they were converting the neighbours over to Telus. They finally offered me a $300 credit, $110 a month for tv, cable and phone but they wanted $5 extra for each wired box. I did not want the wireless boxes. So add up all the boxes and the complexity of my house and garage setup it was not worth switching to Telus.

I got a hold of shaw retention, they dropped it from $206.64 + taxes to $100 + taxes for a 2 year contract. Plus they gave me 2 months free to resign for 2 years.

Internet 300
Medium TV Pick 7, with 3 gateway boxes and 2 cable boxes
Personal Phone and Call Waiting
$100 + $10.39 in taxes
Total Current Charges $110.39

damn. thats a good deal.
when did you sign?

[Eff-1]

Sorry to bring this back up again, but I wanted to double check: is going with the TELUS new home policy on a 2 year contract (1st year free) pretty much better than any other deal out there? Or is it still worth spending time shopping around? I can't imagine any other company beating that type of package, but I've been wrong before haha.

[GIZZ]

Just 2 months ago

final shaw deal

Internet 300
Small TV (with 5 theme packs)

$109/mo taxes included on 2 year term.


Sweet. Im currently on that plan. It expires in 30 days

Im gonna call in and tell em. I wanna cut my bill in half. Lets see what they can offer.

[DavidNguyen]

Got shaw 300 @ $38 for 1st year then $55 for next. Two year term.

How? I called and he couldnt offer me this.

[DavidNguyen]

I didn't need tv or home phone but my internet plan I just got on the weekend is Shaw 300. Unlimited. 300 bill credit. 2 year for 53 dollar. If I divide the credit in 24.month it's about 40 bucks a month for internet which isn't bad...


How did you get thisss. Lol

[fliptuner]

Speedtest your Shaw at 8pm. What is it? Lol

[DavidNguyen]

Speedtest your Shaw at 8pm. What is it? Lol

Okay sure.

I do get disconnected alot with shaw internet. I get dropped connections 2 or 3 times a day. Especially during my hardcore Madden 19 battles.

Gonna try Telus. Shaw couldnt offer me anything good.

[koukimonst3r]

I switched to Telus from Shaw due to corporate discounts being cheaper monthly. I was offered Fibre 300/300 and 7 theme packs plus netflix subscription, 2 pvrs and a $400 credit for $120/month plus tax for 2 years.

Shaw called a couple days ago and offered Internet 300, Total tv, 2 blue curve tv pvrs and a $250 credit for $79/month plus tax for the first year and $129/month plus tax for the second year.

Telus definitely was a better deal but if I call Shaw retention after the year is up, it'll be a couple hundred dollars cheaper even with netflix out of my pocket.

[Manic!]

I wonder if Telus and Shaw are trying to get everyone on a contract because Spacex says Starlink satellite-based internet will be available in Canada this year?

[DavidNguyen]

Speedtest your Shaw at 8pm. What is it? Lol


Average speed is 130 for internet 300. Like wtf!
I just did one it only reaches 70 max. Then i did another one. It went back to 130.

Im with koodo for mobile data. It reaches 150. Lol

Bye shawwww

[Hondaracer]

I wonder if Telus and Shaw are trying to get everyone on a contract because Spacex says Starlink satellite-based internet will be available in Canada this year?

They want people on contracts because they are losing money on the 6 month switchers. I wouldn’t go as far as to say they are in cahoots together but from a business perspective it doesn’t make sense to spend $1000-$2000 to do an initial install only to have a customer switch after 6 months and not even recoup the initial install costs.

Perhaps these providers should offer incentives to encourage existing customers to stay without negotiating with retentions. It will always cost more to gain a new customer compared to keeping an existing one happy. Not sure why this industry is so backwards in Canada.

[Hondaracer]

I think it would help a tonne if there was even an ounce of consistency or reliability in their pricing

I work for the telcos and I pay more than most of you guys with these deals :okay:

It's not that we don't want to lock down to a contract, it's the fact these companies are greedy fucks. Even when locked to an agreement say 2 years, you are still subject to the price increases they impose. E.g. During my 2 year contract with Telus, they jacked up the Internet twice on the 2nd year...

[fliptuner]

Did you check what the cancellation cost is, for the second year?

[wreck]

just renewed my shaw bundle.

Internet 300
Total TV
Home Phone w/ Voicemail & Call Waiting
2x bluecurve wireless pvr + bluecruve modem

$115 + tax for 2 years plus he gave me first 2 months free

He said this was absolute rock bottom deal. Not sure how I feel.

[DavidNguyen]

What speeds do you guys get with internet 300?

I get 80-130 for shaw 300. Angers meeeee

[fliptuner]

I have HS75 on Telus. HS300 usually gets 318-322mbps

https://i.imgur.com/w6h1Vx3.jpg

[Hondaracer]

HS150 for my consistently gets 180-190

The benefit of fiber is you can usually maintain your full speeds even under draw. IE. all your devices are connected to the network, somone is watching youtube etc. and you can run speed tests and still get full speeds, the overhead room on the downstream rates is maintained

[Razor Ramon HG]

What speeds do you guys get with internet 300?

I get 80-130 for shaw 300. Angers meeeee

Are you hardwired or on WiFi?

I'm on Internet 300 as well and all my hardwired devices consistently max out the connection around at 300-330.

For my laptop, it depends on where I am in the house, but it's usually around 250-300 as well. I have two TP-Link Deco's on opposite corners of the house.

[DJ Milk]

If you're using the SpeedTest.net app on your phone, use the Telus or Telus Mobility servers. I can get between 250-330 using those servers. For me all the other servers maxes out at about 150.

I just did a test right now using Telus Mobility server and got 295 and with the Shaw Communications server I got 160

I have internet 300 with LightSpeed which is using Shaw's infrastructure

Typical Telus HS300 on WiFi

https://i.imgur.com/9l90AlF.jpg

[GIZZ]

I have Shaw internet 300, I tried several of their wifi routers and it always was very slow or dropped connections no matter what channel I picked. The Shaw techs would come over and tell me I couldn’t close any interior doors. I switched over to Samsung mesh wifi routers in both my house and shop, I see 325 Mbps regularly. My buddy complained so much Shaw gave him a credit to go and buy his own wireless router. I highly recommend the Samsung mesh routers, I tried orbi too, no comparison.

[DavidNguyen]

Im just gonna switch over to telus.
Ill call shaw once more. See what they can offer me. Before i do

[68style]

Novus Internet 150 and full TV package with 5 bundles... $75 a month bitches!! LOL! Love my Novus!

[jing]

My 1 yr promo with Novus expires at the end of month.

$50 for Internet 100 and basic TV.

The same package is now $55/mo plus a 1 yr agreement. Without an agreement, this bundle is $85/mo.

Telus can't offer anything similar, though the rep wasn't the most helpful, and basically told methat whatever is on the website is the best they can do, though I would get a $10/mo bundle discount for being a Koodo customer, plus a $500 prepaid VISA, which, over a 2 year period, is essentially a $30/mo discount once combined. Cheapest bundle plans are $105/mo or $130/mo before discounts. Nothx.

Guess I'm sticking with Novus!

Lies. Sometimes if you call again and get a different rep, you get different offers. Some of the surface level reps are plebs and don't have any authority. If you're able to access the "loyalty retention" department (even if you're not an existing customer), you'll at least go to the department with the reps that can bend "rules".

[DavidNguyen]

Telus is having a Promo. GIGABIT internet for $85 plus $200 credit if ordered online. Works out to be $76 a month

I testing the wifi. About 375 download and 250 up...slow for Gigabit internet, but better than shaw 300 i was getting

I was getting too many dropped connections with shaw. Hopefully Telus good to meeeee

[Hondaracer]

Remember that a lot of older devices including laptops etc may not have gigbit ethernet adapters.

As well, (and i've researched this to some degree and it appears to have SOME truth to it) even if a PC has a gigbit ethernet adapter, your standard mechanical hard drive may not be able to write data fast enough to show the true speeds, the bottle neck occurs in the pinging or writing of data back and forth between your HD and the ethernet adapter.

It sounds like BS, but from a few different searches it appears to have some validity.

Gigbit ethernet for $85 is crazy though

[fliptuner]

Good deal. Is that on a contract? 1 or 2 year?

I test speeds on new installs, daily. My year old laptop consistently tests 60% of what my phone does, on wifi. The only way to accurately test network speed is wired anyways.

With Telus fibre, you'll find the speeds are consistent, all day. I've seen Shaw 300 at 20, during peak usage times.

24 month contract. If canceled earlier. $10 multiply by how many months remaining.

I called shaw twice to try and get internet 300 for $50. Failed both time and Telus just happend to have this Promo. So i jumped on it.

He said he's on wifi, so pretty much guaranteed it's way slower than a Gigabit if it's an internal wifi adapter. Even most modern gaming laptops have 2x2 wireless AC adapters (867 Mbps theoretical peak).

thats cuz your router is shit.

i have 750/750 and i can get the same speeds. as my router is shit too.

but my friend can get much higher speeds. he has some crazy router that costs 4x as much as mine though LOL

plugged into the wall i can get full speeds no problem.

[Hondaracer]

In 3+ years of working at TELUS I’ve only ever seen one router better than the Arris one we provide in terms of wifi strength etc.

That router costs $680 and the woman bought it to get wifi to her garden in the back

[fliptuner]

Try out the new Arcadyans

Try out the new Arcadyans

The arcadyans seem weaker overall despite the additional antennas I’ve found but acting as the first boost unit is a huge plus

Are you guys paying shaw 91$ for "internet 75" and have you guys heard of the company TekSavvy?

[DavidNguyen]

I recently signed with Telus Gigabit internet for $85 ‐ $10 (for Being a Koodo customer)

[GLOW]

how the hell are you guys getting such high wifi speeds. i have optic 150 and i get d/l speeds of like 30. is my house made of lead or my devices so aged i can't reach those speeds b/c they're from a time long lost?

telus sent me a "free" wifi booster, don't think it will help with speeds, just range...

Im not sure what you know about signals/internet etc...i dont know much either. I do know on WiFi. You will never get the speeds you purchased. Now if you plug the moden into the device your using. You "should" get the 150.

Heres an example. I got Gigabit internet.
I live in a 1960's house

On my Samsung s8+ wifi. I get 385 down/300 up
On my 2007 laptop. I get 50 down/??? Up

If you live in coquitlam. People there complain about not being able to get fast speeds with telus. So they goto shaw or other places

I hope your not paying a lot for those speed those.

[fliptuner]

He's on fibre, so he should be getting speeds as advertised.

What I posted at the top of the page is from my phone, directly in front of the modem. There are many reasons why WiFi signal is slower, hence, testing should be done, wired.

Check your hardwired speeds

[Jmac]

Also check to make sure you're not using TKIP encryption, which is limited to 54.4 Mbps. You should be using AES.

[GLOW]

What modem are you using? T3200?

yep. i know i'm at 150+ hardwired in, they showed me. it's just that my laptop disconnected using wifi right next to the modem would post said shitty speeds.

I was wondering if there was a particular reason, or if there's a point to having 150 if i'm never going to use it or realize these speeds.

[DavidNguyen]

@GLOW why dont you switch providers?

If you switch to shaw. You got up to 10 days to cancel without any penalties.

[fliptuner]

Then it's either a modem issue or your laptops sucks lol.

How is it on your cell?

[HonestTea]

Currently with Shaw and looking for offers, whats the best deal with Telus now?

[Jmac]

I get 960 Mbps wired, 500 Mbps on wireless from the modem, and 240 Mbps through the range extender using Telus Gigabit, T3200 modem, DAP-1720 extender, and USB-AC56 WIFI adapter

[GLOW]

Then it's either a modem issue or your laptops sucks lol.

How is it on your cell?

on my epic iphone 6:

122 dl
54 up

i guess not too bad...but even my phone is old :lawl:


:okay:

i left shaw b/c they were crooks...but telus are crooks too...might try an obsure 3rd party that piggy backs off one of their networks when i get fed up

[Hondaracer]

Go with another crook with no service but slightly lower prices lol

Not sure if it’s still on but TELUS was giving out any speed between 150 and gigabit for $85 a month. Might be over now though

[tonynguyen]

Any Shaw technicians here? Purchasing a home with multiple buildings. I just have a few questions. Thanks!

[GIZZ]

Any Shaw technicians here? Purchasing a home with multiple buildings. I just have a few questions. Thanks!

Not a Shaw tech but I’ve called and had them over too many times, they aren’t much help. I have over 300’ between buildings and maybe another 80’ to the boxes. They tried to sell me another account.

I have coaxial cable and 2 phone lines underground between buildings.

For internet I put rj45 connectors on the phone cable and it worked but dropped connection daily until I added a switch on both ends of the cable. Rock solid internet and fast.

For cable tv at that length, it wasn’t a very stable connection. I replaced many cable end fittings and it’s great now. I’m using older non blue sky pvr and it works fine between buildings.

[Hondaracer]

Kinda the problem with coax lines is the degradation of signal at those distances. Not to mention the distance from wherever your node is to the nib at the house

[ilovebacon]

Any one use teksavvy internet and how's was your experiences?
$65 150 download and 15upload is pretty good.

150/150 for 90$

[Hondaracer]

Telus had gigabit for $85 a month if you have fiber available and are a new customer

[Jmac]

It was $75/month. I got it, had a ton of credits, too, so I didn’t pay anything for the first 4 months.

[ilovebacon]

I'm paying 90$ with shaw for internet 75. Made my decision for 90$ for 150mb with Telus.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Anyone with Shaw getting actual gigabit speeds?

Mine seems to hover around 325-350Mbps down, while hitting the max advertised upload speed of 25Mbps.

Wonder if it's just an issue with capacity in the area since Shaw is FTTN or if it's my modem.

The support rep said that my modem is provisioned for gigabit.

EDIT: Turns out it's my TP-Link Deco M4. Not sure what about it.

Bumping this as my Shaw account is up for renewal. Has anyone seen any decent deals lately?

I'm currently paying $136/mo taxes in for:
Internet 600
Small TV Pick 5
Cantonese Channels + Fairchild HD
2 TV receivers
Landline with voicemail and call waiting

They're offering me $160 for the same thing as a renewal so starting to look elsewhere.

[GLOW]

bump any deals going on? reached full entertainment value dealing with telus...

i have 150/basic tv/phone but if i switch i'll probably do internet, i seem to only use tv for news these days...

[StylinRed]

I don't even use tv for news

You can stream it all!

Local news cbc n global can be streamed live thru the cbc app and Amazon prime

World news, BBC, France 24, sky news, cnn, al Jazeera, abcnews, Bloomberg, CNA, etc can all be streamed live, most of them thru youtube

[syee]

I feel you just got to play the renewals game with the big 2 to get a deal. Going through first line reps is pretty pointless.

Just to follow up, I ended up getting the same deal as I had last time after renewals came calling. If it wasn't for the parents watching Chinese TV, I probably would have ditched cable and did Internet only as well.

[StylinRed]

iirc Fairchild n talent vision have a streaming option, but didn't look into how it works, mom has a hard enough time with Netflix

Your deal is great think parents are paying $200 now a month for Fibre 750 crave n total tv

They were paying $300 on a grandfathered plan, and I put them on the new plan, the first line Rep was offering me a crappier deal than advertised on their website for $275 a month smh

I should also note, they changed my Pik 5 to Total TV (they called it a loyalty discount), but that really makes virtually no difference to me since the family really only watched the Chinese channels and Sportnet during hockey season.

I only got Internet 600 though - I didn't realize that their Fibre plans offered higher upload speeds otherwise I would have to tried to negotiate that instead of the Internet 600. When I asked afterwards, they quoted $206 for the same thing as i have now but with Fibre 750.

[StylinRed]

Ah ya I think that's the same plan they have advertised online rn that's cool


Oh btw youtube also has livestreams of Chinese news too if anyone cares, tvbs, ccctv, that anti China falunggong one, etc

[GLOW]

i needed chinese in the pack so was suckered in for tv, but i don't need it anymore, so i just cancelled it last night amid my other problems i'm trying to sold. maybe i should just get rid of TV. i think i just got used to the convenience of turning on a tv and switching to the news, when i really should be using android boxes/fire sticks and running said news apps.

1GB looking more like $99 a month on 2 year term, if you have existing mobility might be closer to Gilly's pricing.

Can get quotes with current pricing if anyone is interested with TELUS services

Was getting a consistent 75-85mbps DL/UL using the same hardware but ever since moving here to our new place the connection has been pretty finicky.


I had speed issues after moving to a different home so I bought Telus WiFi Boosters. They seem to make a big difference. I'm on Telus 75, not hardwired.

I'm paying 60+ tax for Telus Fiber 300/300+PikTV and unlimited bandwidth.

Willing to move one of the mobile lines.

Anyone knows any Fiber+mobile promo?

I called the loyalty retention department last weekend and all they offered was $53.75+tax for Telus75 with unlimited bandwidth for 24 month contract.
That sounds like a shitty deal if I could get what you have for just $6 more. lol

Luckily I declined, but I plan to call in again maybe next week. I still got a month before my current contract ends.

The more I think about it, I'm probably just going to cut TV altogether and not even go with PikTV. Just internet and sign up for streaming platforms. I really don't follow anything on TV.

Did any of you guys do that and what rates are you getting?

I’m on Telus Gigabit and get around 900-950 Mbps over ethernet, 200-650 Mbps over wifi depending on where I am in the house (with my devices that have wireless AC adapters).

I’m using a D-Link Wireless AC router, though, not the router built into the modem which wasn’t very good for range or speed. I found changing my settings really helped. 5 GHz to WPA2/WPA3 encryption and Wireless AC instead of the default WPA/WPA2 and wireless A/N/AC really helped my speeds. Using the 2.4 GHz connection with WPA/WPA2 and wireless G/N for legacy devices (who has wireless A/B devices these days?)

@Hondaracer any deals right now?

My 2yr contract ends soon. HS75, Essentials and 4 theme packs. I got a promo price a couple years ago, then stacked a discount from MPIA for my complex switching to fibre. If there's nothing decent, I might cut the TV and just stream. Or do you think I should just try retentions?

Mpia renewals are a bit tricky, prices are all over the place depending on the building.

TV can basically be a throw in in most cases, I’d expect like HS150 + basic TV for about $130-$150 or so depending.

I’ll check Tom

Could you check for me as well?

My situation is we signed up for a new construction first-year-free promo and then added a bunch to it.

We're now at the one year mark of a 2 yr agreement, so the promotion is over. Here's what I'm paying starting next month:

Internet 300 - $115
TV - 11 theme packs, Netflix, Crave+Movies+HBO - $120

Any ideas to bring this cost down? We like our TV channels so hoping to keep as many as possible. There's really just 8 theme packs we like, plus Netflix, Crave, HBO and Prime.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe on the New Home Offer (first year free on 2yr contract) you can cancel the second year for $15/mo for each remaining month. Meaning if you cancelled at the end of the first year, you'd owe $180 (still a damn good deal for a year of services).

Might be worth looking into, if there are better promos available, currently.
