And more so score me so many important brownie points...
My parents have had shaw 75 for years now, I went to the store with them and ported over their mobile phone and home phone number to 2 $0 plans, no issues, no need to re-up their internet plan.

So, this $0 Shaw deal works out to about an $8.75 savings per month as opposed to getting that. If you have to pay more to get to that level of Internet to get it for free (and don't need the upgraded Internet), it's more economical to just get the Freedom plan.
But also the Shaw deal is $10/GB that is good for 90 days, while Freedom is $15/GB good for 30 days. So for low GB users like my parents, they will be paying $3.33/mo instead of $15/mo with Freedom. Now we're talking about $20 savings per month. And they didn't actually have to upgrade their internet at all, the same 75 plan they have had for years.
