Shaw are still being really aggressive with cable retention. We cut the cable about two years ago and back in September they offered as a deal to go back on cable for free for two months, cut our land line phone bill to $10/month for two years, and upgrade to Internet 150 for $80.
We took the deal, but still barely used cable, and I called last night to remove it from our account. On hold for 5 minutes and they called back offering free cable for 1 year if we sign up for a second year. So Internet 150, cable (small package), and landline for $90 a month for year one, jumping to $135 a month in year two.
We still didn't do it, because we get by fine with our over the air antenna for the occasional live event. But the gist of it is if you have cable, this is a very good time to threaten to quit. They're absolute desperate for retention.
