Optik Internet
High Speed $15 for first year
High Speed Turbo $23 for first year

Home Phone
One feature $15 for first year
Three Features $23 for first year

Pricing had nothing to do with a contract. A contract only got me the HDPVR or Xbox 360.

I am seriously thinking of switching. That's a pretty good deal. I am not sure what to do with my Shaw hardware though (HD PVR and I got a Shaw expander for x-mas). Maybe I'll hold onto it and in a year consider switching back to maximize my savings.

What are the other costs on a Telus bill? Do you have to rent a modem?
That is a great deal. I just called in to see if I was able to get that deal for my parents and they said no, because there was already a basic phone line in the house. Decided to decline, as they offered me something else, but more money. I would have switched immediately if they would have allowed the win back pricing to occur for me. This despite the fact the phone line in parents house is the most basic. I declined the alternative offer, as it wasnt even remotely close to that pricing.
