I am making the change to Telus. 20 years of shaw and they won't cut me a deal for my internet. All they have ever done is called and complain that I have been going over my data limit(300GB), but when I initially got that plan it was unlimited data. No deals and 20 years of never missing a payment as well as complaining about it.

6 years ago I called them and complained about my poor television picture and internet quality. They said that the line from the street to my house needed to be replaced. I said put me on the list and was told to expect a service rep any time. After only 5 years of me complaining about the problem it was finally fixed. Terrible customer service in my opinion.

As per Vantel, I am fine with a 2 year mistake. The last conversation I had with a shaw rep his last words were "What are you going to do go with Telus? Thats a mistake."

Canucks Don may have it right. Customer service still means something.

Fair enough! You gotta get the best bang for your buck! Ive had shaw for 5 years now and they have veen good. As far as tv goes though, everyone is going with those android boxes with that kodi software. I dont know much about them but essentially free everything, just streaming, might be worth considering when u make a choice

I went as far as paying for Centre Ice and still having it stall out. Enough is enough.

Both providers have their ups and downs. I ditched Telus fully in 2001 and have never gone back. All my friends and family that went back to Telus for their cheap entry packages have basically all ended up back with Shaw. Shaw has it's flaws yes, but I always found their feeds and especially their HD boxes to be of much higher quality. Telus HD boxes are pure junk. But it is a buyer beware market of course and you may end up being happy with Telus for a time. Best of luck to you.

So the boxer who never lost boxed a boxer who has never boxed. Boxer takes him 100 mill plus and loser takes him 30 mill plus. Losers are everyone who paid for that crap.

It is amusing to hear your story, Telus just went through Metchosin and installed their fibre-optic lines. We were so pissed at shaw because the PVR program would freeze then start 30sec later, then freeze, and on and on. I phoned continuously, had more techs at the house and not one of them could fix the problem. The second last tech made things worse, live tv started to freeze, then start 30 sec later, freeze and so on.

So I agreed to Telus, wouldn't you know Shaw phoned and said Telus contacted us and said you signed up with them, why? After going on for half an hour they dropped our bill from $200 to $88 for 12 months, and rebated the $200 from this month. Plus they sent a tech that actually knew what to do to fix the freezing picture issue. BTW we are on the gateway system.

The only reason we stayed with Shaw is our Son-in-law works in management there and we didn't want to piss off our daughter, I did that once before by phoning Shaw so mad because the hockey game kept freezing and said your product sucks and I'm pissed off, my son-in-law was contacted because I was belligerent and they knew we were related, my daughter asked me not to embarrass her husband.

I am not a fan of Shaw and my buddy is not a fan of Telus, so overall both are money sucking companies that could give 2 poops about you or your television viewing preferences.

when I switched I noticed a stunningly way better picture in television and solid internet that never mattered in time of day with great speeds.
I was always needing to call shaw due to errors in the box. That shouldnt happen
I will never go back

Mayweather wins TKO 10th round.
- LordHumungous

I just laugh at all the people that took it seriously.

As Mayweather said post interview. It was his "strategy" to let him tire himself out. He would change the way he boxed for "entertainment value".

He was even asked about being punched and Mayweather said something to the tune " he doesn't hit as hard as an actual boxer does."

If Mayweather wanted to, Mcgregor would have been ended in the first few rounds.
Exact same if Mayweather fought MMA, wouldn't make it past 1 round.
