TSI's price for DSL is quite sh*tty in AB & BC. Previously, Marc replied that he couldn't compete with the duopolies in the West. Telus ain't playin' with dirt cheap pricing and unofficial unlimited anymore. I guess Telus' IPTV has saturated the market, so they won't bribe people with $10 POTS and $10 broadband. Now there is a beneficial landscape to expand the cheaper Shaw TPIA offering.
I have to totally disagree with you bbbc.
TSI prices for internet in the west are pretty good.
+1. Compared to the East they are pretty freakin amazing.
My parents who don't need lots of usage/bandwidth/consumption but appreciate the speed when they need it (they have a 6mbps profile) they pay $29.99/month + tax for a total of $33.89/month after taxes, they get 75GB.
The equivalent on west is the same price, and for unlimited its only $5/month more...so for those who aren't considered bandwidth mooch, its the same price so I don't understand your thinking here bbbc.
I won't compare cable in this instance because they're in an area where there's no service...and they haven't complained about the speed or the price, they had me $40/month (2x$20) and I take care of the rest, and they're more than happy to pay a $40/month pricepoint for their service...they've never said to me "that's too much, we want it cheaper"...
So I don't understand, with basically mirroring pricing in that of "The East DSL", I just don't understand where this is coming from.
