Beverly Hills, CA 4 edits mcnab Member How much can we cost Shaw? (Vote with your wallet!) Total Confirmed Services Canceled To Date:



$6,138.45

Amount edited per request of mcnab . ~sorto'



in Monthly Revenue



In protest to Shaw's recent UBB and Overage Fees, I think we need to keep TRACK of how much we have cost them by this decision.



Post up if you have CONFIRMED cancelling any service with Shaw, what that service was, and how much PER month you have "cancelled with them. For example, if you cut ALL Services, or just Cable.



I will tally up as we go and update the thread. Im hoping to get a MONTHLY total.



I will start. In protest, I canceled my Cable TV



Cost: $60 monthly.

Cost: -$60. Since hearing about the overage fees I upgraded from Extreme to Warp and am moving my phone over to Shaw.



I really do like Shaw. I find them easy to approach and very helpful. And I'm willing to pay a premium for the quality service I receive. When they roll out their wireless network next year I hope the pricing is competitive enough to jump from Telus Mobility.



With that said, I have Telus Turbo being installed in my house after the holidays for a three month trial. I'll be able to run them both in parallel and decide which to cancel at the end of March. I'm really hoping that my initial reaction to this news and also some of the attitudes around here, including this thread, are just an overreaction over what'll be a non-event when it actually rolls out. We'll see.

no they do not as of right now. Yes they list it on their website, but they are currently not even monitoring bandwith right now. So even before they implement that, they have to get their monitor tools working. Currently my usage shows 0GB used, when ive used at least 100

Besides - it is not that everybody is moving to Telus because "OMG! Telus isn't enforcing caps!". Some of us are moving to Telus because we feel Shaw is being unethical and straight-up deceitful, and is not the kind of company we wish to support.



I, for one, harbour no illusions that, 90 days from now, after Telus has lapped up all these new subscriptions, that they may very well start enforcing those same caps.



I wonder, though, if they will drop the caps by 20% on the same day it happens. And then say it was only a trial.

Or maybe telus will feel like increasing its subscribers at shaws expense and not pissing off its current customer base rather then collude with shaw bhell/rogers style.

The only way for Shaw to take notice is for people to hit them where it HURTS, their bottom line.



You can twitter, spacebook, phone, email, but if you ACT and CANCEL your services, they will eventually take notice.

Mine was $130 for all 3 services. This is excluding the LPIF which is on every bill. I killed 2 birds with one stone - cancelled Shaw, and cut the television cord. I now have phone & internet with Telus.



I am on holidays, I will post information on the 7 cancellations when I get back to the office and can talk to them. Over the holidays, I am starting on my friends. As for family, only one of them is going to switch, the rest are too lazy - maybe they will change their minds after the Christmas spending spree, and they want to save some money in the new year. I also mentioned this at our neighborhood Christmas dinner, but I am not sure how many switched.

Hahahaha, you people are amazing. Do you realize that the current total of $2087 isn't even near what it costs them to split 1 node?



You keep your $2000 and they will save 100's of thousands by not having you people on their network causing congestion and saturation simply because you feel that you can transfer 500GB /month and everyone else can deal with it.



Shaw has made it clear what the bandwidth limits are in their AUP for years but holy hell when they say they are going to start enforcing it, you all act like they just made this up and the next day told you to deal with it. You should not have been violating your AUP in the first place so charging for overages should not be a big deal. Why don't you go cry to your wireless carriers about wireless overages?

Canada Manatrite Member Wow, i give you a 0% on your troll attempt.



While it's true the amount of loss incurred is nothing to Shaw, specifically the internet portion, the main goal is to have as many people dump Shaw, namely the TV services and have them switch to the competitor, if all possible. Some of Shaw's primary revenue comes from ad companies. Lack of viewers means less revenue generated from ads. This is one of the reasons why Shaw is nervous about Netflix. People will eventually switch over to them in time and dump the TV services. Losing TV customers will HURT THEM the most.
