[Home] Shaw HD-PVR Retention Type Deal

[barsuk666]

For new customers Shaw pricing is good. The moment that I called Bell saying that I am out they immediately matched everything:
Basic TV with free upgrade to HD including free rent of HD PVR (own after 3 years) for $28/month (Basic package + HGTV + Food Channel). Prior to that I was paying $48 supplying my own paid for standard definition receiver.
Next thing on my list is to call Bell about phone or switch to Teksavvy phone line. The problem with Bell is keeping in mind to call again a year later, but since I do not have any contract will see there and then

Just talked to a rep who confirmed the same student deal as the previous few posters. Didn't mention the $6 off promo for getting all 3 services, though.

Can anyone help me on lowering my Monthly Phone + Internet + TV cost?

My scenario;

I've been with Shaw for 9 months now all in all my experience with them have been great. My only problem is that I am currently paying $160.00 per month which started May 2012 with no contracts.

Right now I'm thinking if I can apply this retention thread to lower my bill however I don't know where should I go first :-S.

Here is the rundown of my bill;

Billing-Personal TV 30.95
Billing-Personal TV 3.95
Billing-Cisco WiFi Modem 3.95
Billing-WiFi Modem Promotional -3.95
Billing-Shaw Digital Terminal 12.95
Billing-Shaw Digital Terminal 3.95
Billing-Best of HD 15.00
Billing-Best of HD 20.00
Billing-GMA Pinoy TV 10.00
Billing-High Speed 10 45.00
Billing-Bundle Discount -5.00
Billing-Home Phone Basic [DIGI 9.00
Billing-Bundle Discount -19.95
Billing-Home Phone Basic [DIGI 25.95
Billing-G.S.T. 7.59

I'm aiming to lower my monthly utilities to around $90.00-$120.00

Thank you for the help in advance.

So my retention deal is about to end.

I have:
Basic Cable, Extreme Internet, Home Basic & Asia Unlimited

All for around $80 (I own my modem & PVRs - so no rentals)

Called in today for a retention type deal, spoke to the Loyalty department. No deals deals were offered to retain me as a customer; in fact I was told that they don't offer anymore retention deals, which made me wonder if Shaw really doesn't care about current customers...Also was told that they do not match with any competitors

In anycase she said I could switch to one of their current bundles, the closest one in price being:

Shaw Starter Bundle:
Basic Cable
High Speed 10
Internet Phone
Asia Calling Package

All for around $95.

Anyone able to get a real deal to stay with Shaw or am I stuck paying more for less?

If anyone can help me I would appreicate it. I really don't have much choice other than Telus but owning all the equipment plus hearing nothing but negatives about Telus I am not about to switch.

thanks in advance

My sept shaw bill says that starting November 1st my bill will go up by $5. In may my hdplus package went up $5 an in April the phone went up $5.00. So in less than a year it's gone up $15 I keep cutting stuff to keep my bill down but now it's pretty much bare bones. Will be switching to telus as soon as they mail out another offer (I usually get a couple a month).
