Shaw fights back at Telus
I live in Burnaby, BC. Last year I canceled my Telus home phone & internet (bad service) and went Triple Play with Shaw (Bundle priced at: High Speed internet $37/mo, Home Phone Basic $20.95/mo & HD Plus $16/mo - my basic cable is paid thru building rent).
I recently received the following offer from Telus in the mail:
If I sign up for 2 or 3 services of the services below I will get them at $15/month each for 12 months.
- Optik TV (89 channels, 10 HD plus free HD PVR)
- Optik High Speed internet (Wi-Fi modem)
- Home Phone
I didn't want to go back to Telus (plus their TV package looks weak) so I called Shaw to see if they would match - they said no
. The best they could do was:
- no change to phone
- $9.95/month for internet for 12 months
- free HD Plus for 6 months
That works out to a savings of more than 470 bucks (including HST) for the year!
Wow, I was expecting something like more channels that I don't need or want (HD is almost all I watch now) but to save that much money was a pleasant surprise indeed. I was worried when Shaw said they could not match but now I must say that competition is a good thing!
