Shaw Cable Rate Increases again?

lifegoeson

I am just wondering how much LYK are paying for TV+Internet?!!

I just received my cable bill and noticed they had increased their rate again, thanks to the HST. I don't have anything fancy. Just basic cable + regular High Speed Internet + the Asian TV Pack, which includes Fridge TV and some mandarin TV that I never watch (My gf watches satellite tvb news everyday and i force to keep this package).

Before HST, i was paying $88.10, and now it becomes $90.28.

I remember one year ago the total was around $80.  I won't be surprised the total will become $95 by the end of the year...

$69 is very good. Probably lowest of all.

Here's the bill that I just received as attached.



So  ...

My bill just arrived, the resaon why you pay more than me is the voice mail and call waiting feature that you have.  However, I have free High speed extreme Internet, which you do not have. I remember it was given to me because I complained about the Internet speed. Anyway, I think you should ask for it.

My rental Pace TDC776D is so far so good, but very noisy. I am planning to buy a ESATA drive to expand the hard disk capacity.

I am using a Sandisk reader to convert the video from my PVR. Slow but it works

Do you have any negotiation techniques to share with us, while you are talking to the representative ?

I want to add that Shaw's HD PVRs are really shxt, DO NOT buy it, just rent!!. The reason why I am saying that is that I have access to all of the models and majority of them have problems. The older Moto 3416/6416 lags 1 sec (minimum) when browsing through menus, the current Pace 775/758 are fast, but it has a higher than usual fail rate (based on complaints/returns), the new one Moto DCX3400 so far so good (released in June).

Shaw disables most of the extra ports in the back via software, so don't expect to be able to use those ports for anything else (like export recorded stuff to a PC...)

My plan is that if my PVR is free for a year, I can simply call and moan about how "shxt" the PVR is and see what they will offer.
