usually get a call within a month from Shaw looking to hook us back up and offering deals to do so.

Last time when from paying 230 to less than 100...all same services.

Trying to get anything out of them any other way is a joke.

They did the same with us. We switched to Telus, then a week later Shaw was all whiny on the phone giving us a deal. We said screw it. It seemed like they were jacking up the rates every 8 months or so and it all adds up. I think our rates doubled over the 8 years we were with Shaw (tv and internet). Internet was way faster with Telus anyways even though most of the channels suck. I don't watch a lot of TV so no loss there.
