Call Shaw and tell them you've seen better Telus offers, and they will match. They are very aggressive at retaining business. I was paying $150 per month for Shaw phone lines, digital cable, PVR rental, and extreme internet.
I called just to ask for some more HD channels. By the end of the conversation I had TWO phone lines, extreme speed internet, TWO HD PVRs, 5 movie channels, standard HD channels, HD Plus, family channel and a few other speciality channels, and free long distance for a year, for $100 per month.
I love the Shaw voicemail to email option, as I use unified messaging for everything and now get all my voicemail from work, my cell phone, and home phone by email.
There is a bug in the new HD PVR firmware on one of their manufacturers (they use Motorola and Pacer, and the Pacer box is the one with the bug), but Shaw is usually pretty good at fixing those and will push the fixes automatically to the PVR when it is available. I have one of each PVR and they are both pretty good. This latter info was aimed more for some of the others asking questions, as you've already got the Shaw box I presume.
EDIT: One more thing - Shaw doesn't advertise this agressively but they will match ANY offer or bundle from another carrier, so if you get one save it for when you call. They also tend to have copies of all the competitive bundles they can get there hands on to refer to them, so if you got an offer just reference it and they may already have it. If they do, they will match it.
