But I don't think brand loyalty buys you anything these days.
Sorry to brake the news to you... But brand loyalty has not been worth any in years... I am amazed how easily these companies will just give up a 7 or 10 + year customer...

They just don't care anymore....

As for switching providers just beware the grass is not always greener on the other side...

I was one of the original pre-release testers for Roger's Wave when it was first introduced. Had it ever since.

What's going on with billing rates for Shaw High-Speed Internet? Up until recently, the price has been relatively stable at $40.95 per month. Then in April, the price went up to $41.95 per month. Then in September, the price went up again to $43.95 per month.

And now that Shaw has rebranded, StarChoice as Shaw Direct, why are they not offering bundle pricing that includes Shaw Direct?

I note that this latest price increase is hot on the heals of an article published in the Vancouver Sun recently, that ranked Canada has having one of the highest costs (and lowest average speeds) for Internet services in the world. When you compare speed to price, we are ranked as a third-world country.

What gives?
Technically they can't allow bundles with the new rebranded satellite service.

Reason why is that the satellite service, contrary to their normal Shaw cable service, is available country-wide, where the normal internet/IP phone service ain't available. So I don't think they can offer bundles on the Satellite service, out of fairness...

.....but then again, Bell does it, I might be wrong....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-BC-Price-goes-up-with-every-statement-23271822 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:54:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-BC-Price-goes-up-with-every-statement-23271432 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-BC-Price-goes-up-with-every-statement-23271432 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:17:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-BC-Price-goes-up-with-every-statement-23271330 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-BC-Price-goes-up-with-every-statement-23271330 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:42:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/BC-Price-goes-up-with-every-statement-23271177
