Shaw Direct + Shaw Cable Bundling - Finally !! - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Jimbo54 · 2011-12-31, 09:54 AM

It appears Shaw Cable and Shaw Direct are finally 'merging' on some areas.
I just received an offer from Shaw Cable to add Shaw Direct Digital Indulgence Package to my existing Shaw Home Phone / High Speed Internet package.

The total monthly cost for all 3 would be $75/month increasing to $99/month after 6 months. This includes free installation and HD receiver (or HDPVR for $99).

As an existing SD customer, I am not eligible for this offer but a quick question to 'Ask Jim' resolved this and it appears I will be able to bundle the two on the same terms, saving me about $40/month over what I pay now.

A point of interest....the call to the toll-free 'bundling' number in the letter appears to be a joint Shaw Direct /Shaw customer service line.

What part of Canada did you receive this promo? When I called it went to voicemail. This appears to be a promotional discount,certainly NOT a bundling feature.

Jimbo54 · 2012-01-02, 03:53 PM

Ontario.

Mailing came from Shaw and states 'offer is open to Shaw Internet and Home Phone Customers'

^^^How do you have Shaw phone and Internet in Ontario?

Just checked their site. Didn't know they had entered into parts of Ontario. Hopefully they'll get to my area (Vaughan) soon.

I guess there is an advantage to living in Northern Ontario.

Offer is only good in areas serve by Shaw Cable.

Yuppers!
Noticed Shaw has caps on downloads. Not my cup of tea. Would never give my business directly to Rogers or Bhell for that reason and won't give it to Shaw either if/when they come to my area. Just my $0.02.

Actually the Shaw Direct Bundle through Shaw is pretty decent...

I'm getting BB50, Basic Phone, Basic Cable (not sure why cos I have Satellite, but its free so.....) for $60 non expiring (doesn't include my satellite bill which is billed seperately). Based soley off the internet package I think its a steal...

Shaw ($65.00/month)
50 Mbps download speed
3 Mbps upload
400 GB monthly usage allowance
10 Emails

Rogers ($100/month)
50 Mbps download speed
2 Mbps upload
250 GB monthly usage allowance
9 Emails

Cogeco ($110)
50 Mbps download speed
1.5 Mbps upload
250 GB monthly usage allowance
7 Emails

Comcast ($115) (USA - For Comparison)
50 Mbps download speed
10mbps Mbps upload
250 GB monthly usage allowance
7 Emails

Has anyone with shaw direct yet been able to receive a bundle price with their shaw internet service? They seem to be taking their time offering shaw direct customers this option.

Look at my post right above yours.

I have had the service since December. The promo above may have changed, but should be similiar to whats posted above.

CanuckBlue · 2012-05-29, 03:34 PM

Never mind i just checked and it appears i'm getting $5 off my bb50' so i guess i am getting a bundled price.

Hamilton, too.

I got called with an offer... and it was not that great.

for BB50+phone the "special" bundle price is $75+taxes

I seem to recall that it was only $57+taxes when they introduced bundling a few months ago. Now $59 will only get you "High Speed" which I think is 7.5Mbps

That makes it a 31.58% increase in just a few months. Not impressed.

johnnucleo · 2012-09-09, 02:52 PM

$59? I have SD for TV, and Shaw for Internet/Phone, and was offered the following:

Personal TV, HSI 10, and Basic Phone for $49. I just have to retain my shaw direct service to keep this $49 price. I think this is standard, so you should call back if you are paying $59 for this. Not sure why they include Personal TV but whatever, HSI 10/Basic Phone for $49 is pretty good price. It's $75 normally I think for just those two.

tripod · 2012-09-10, 10:09 PM

I just looked over my bill..

Current Monthly Services (02-Oct-12 to 01-Nov-12)
Personal TV + Broadband 50 89.90
Shaw Direct Bundle Discount -40.90
Shaw Digital Terminal 3.95
Digital Cable Terminal Promotion -3.95
Personal Home Phone 15.00
Total Current Monthly Services $64.00

Was $59.00 till Junes $5 Price Increase....

Over all I can't complain... Been a good service and a good price so far.
