Tired of doing the renewal dance, planning to go to Cancom internet, uses Shaw backbone, much easier to contact etc.

75 Mb download is $50 / month, unlimited data, no contract
300 Mb download is $75 / month, unlimited data, no contract

In comparison, the cheapest Non-Contract rate for a Shaw plan is $85 month for 50 Mb download (450 gb data limit)

Loyalty bonus discount of up to 5% (starts at month 13, completely foreign concept to Shaw)
Referral bonus $1 per friend for as long as they are subscribed

It is the same service just lower prices. Overall very positive feedback about the service on Reddit.

IMO, Shaw support chat / voice is utterly broken, wait times are way to long and very inconsistent support.

I have already replaced one of the 'BlueCurve' router setups for a client, IMO it is not a great router. Replace it with a Eero setup, much better speed and coverage with parental controls etc.

Also, I think many people here are getting more internet than they really need. It is really more about the amount of bandwidth you need than speed.

Here is link for a guideline to what you should get.

I live in a 2 person household with heavy use and streaming 4k, mine calculated out to 63 Mb. I planning to get the 75 package.

I will report back in the coming weeks to how it is working.
