my shaw's promo ends this month , worth about $70, should i change
to telus ?, they are offering free hd pvr rental plus a hp laptop on a three year
contract, advice please.作者: fm9610 時間: 2011-8-17 15:22
Compare the total cost over the 3 yr contract. As Telus cannot give me the assurance their price will not increase over the contract period. I choose to stay with Shaw for now, but I can switch any time because I am not tied to a contract.
BTW, I have a free rental shaw PVR still and I do not need another PC作者: pkphilip 時間: 2011-8-18 10:55
Telus is tricky - they offer their promo in terms, that mean they could jack the price up when it is over. The freebies, except the free XBox are really useless. You do get a speed bump in ADSL speed, but Shaw is still faster. Telus telephone support is getting worse and worse.
I still like Shaw, their service is slow but they take responsibility.
Still, I called around these days and Shaw doesn't care anymore if people decide to switch. Your choice.

thanks for all your inputs.
anyone knows if their price is about the same for similar programs ??
i wonder if most people will stay with shaw when their promo ends, (most will about this or next month )the price just gone up too much,( mine from $125 to $200, over 70% increased) i tried to call shaw yesterday, waiting time was 2 hours! so i gave up.
guess many people complained .
my shaw internet slows down in the evening, will telus be the same ?作者: cunningchu 時間: 2011-8-18 14:56

We signed 3 yrs contract with Telus and have been staying with it for almost 2 years from now. The price is remained unchanged since we signed the contract and hope it won't jet-up too much in the future.
We chose Telus because we want to connect 3 TV in different rooms & 2 of the rooms haven't any connection device. Shawn promised to set up but rejected us when they arrived our home. Anyway, the package is approx $125 (after tax) include TV (basic + subscribe Chinese Prog & some channel, like TLC), high speed internet, home phone services, free rental for 2 extra digital box.
I'm not sure whether our package is reasonable but just for your info.作者: hangfat 時間: 2011-8-18 19:58
so did you have to pay for a third digital box?
i was told that i can only have two free ones, one with pvr.
i'll have to buy two extra one at $150 each or rent one at $5 a month. (have 4 tv at home)
