Shaw always wants you to bundle, and its a good deal from both ends if you are switching from Shaw Direct.

For them, they only have to have support for you on one side, rather than 2. Not just call in tech support, but overhead for things like infrastructure and bandwidth allocation. For them, they probably make just as much money having everyone on Shaw cable rather than charging extra for Shaw Direct, especially since they have the cable running to your house anyway.

As a triple play customer, you get a reduced price and you also get unlimited warranty on all your Shaw equipment while you maintain your package. For me, that warranty is really nice. They have covered a couple boxes for me, plus a PVR expander.
