Go Telus and have way less issues. Only ISP worse than Shaw in Bell.
I was left without service yesterday from Shaw. But I would have to say, it happens.
Benny, saying Telus is great is pretty funny. I get the feeling like either you own shares or work for them.
I have some friends at work on Telus and they say they have their share of problems too. Channels with glitches and disruptions here and there.
The thing I like about Shaw is they don’t make me sign into some crazy 2 year contract.
But I don’t pretend to think that any of the internet/tv/phone providers are leaps and bounds better than the other. They are all making a pretty penny on all of us and there really isn’t a lot of good deals out there.
The only deal out there seems to be switching between carriers and getting their sign up deals, e.g. a tablet or a cheap intro rate for 6 months. But I’m just not into switching over every 1-2 years just to play this game.
Deleting a guy’s comments because he had something negative to say about Shaw… priceless. Way to go 250 news
