Typical shaw outage. They keep jacking up prices and seecis keeps going downhill.
Typical? Lots of car accidents take Shaw out ? I find Shaw very reliable. But one hiccup and the are the worst company ever.. lll
Been on shaw for years, and honestly can’t remember any downtime longer than 5 minutes before now. Their speed compared to prices blows telus out of the water.
Techs have confirmed fibre damage to be the cause of service interruptions in this area. There are currently some delays due to fire in the region. For safety, techs are waiting for the smoke to clear before proceeding with repairs.
Ya, let’s blame Shaw for the fire…
Same bs as last time when shaw blamed a fire for thier outage. About as honest as cnn
So switch to Telus, or to some other provider! Or, stay with Shaw and experience the occasional interruptions, the same as with Telus and other providers!
It’s called foot in mouth disease lot of posters here frequently get it no known cure….
Good One, LOL!
I called Shaw last evening, reached Shaw Nanaimo and was told that a vehicle accident on #97 close to Prince George had taken out their fibre network cables. It is not the first time, as I remember. Apparently some people often end up in the ditches for some reason and damage various infrastructure. Blaming that on Shaw makes no sense.
I thought the fibre optic network was safely buried? I guess not, learn something every day.
“I called Shaw last evening, reached Shaw Nanaimo…”. If you had called Telus someone in India would have told you that an inept contractor will be by in 3 or 4 days to look at it.
Shaw as a company is near the bottom of the barrel, not sure why people support a company with their morals.
If you live in the country, you need to be with Explorenet and Rogers for good service, as there is no cable service here. We have lived 1/2 hr from town for 22 years and tell was our provider. their charges for hardly any megabytes of internet service went through the roof ($200-$300 mo) and Telus satellite for TV was another $120 plus our land line $65 and one cell phone $110. We lost all service for our cell phone over the past 2 years. Pretty sad.
We have the 2 above services plus Shaw satellite for the TV and our total cost now is $225/mo
