Price Increase - March 2014 Edition

Customers that will see a change are those subscribed to one of our older packages typically called a "Simple Bundle". If you have a combination of Personal TV and High Speed internet 10mbps, 20mbps, BB50, BB100, BB250 or Gigabit Fibre internet you will see a $7.90 rate increase.

Package name:
Personal TV + High Speed 10
Personal TV + High Speed 20
Personal TV + BB50
Personal TV + BB100
Personal TV + BB100+
Personal TV + BB250
Personal TV + Gigabit Fibre

Price from March 2014*
$84.90
$99.90
$114.90
$119.90
$129.90
$149.90
$149.90

New Customer Price**

$159.90

* This is the new price after the increase of the Grandfathered Plans
** This is the current price we sell these services today to new customers

3 channels are also affected by $1.00 increase each.
Oasis $3.00 > $4.00
MH1 $5.00 > $6.00
SAB TV $5.00 > $6.00

Other channels or theme packs/groupings of channels are not affected. This also includes customers that may be paying grandfathered rates on some of our older channel bundles.

Customers will have a minimum of 30 day notification but in reality this is closer to 60 days. Vancouver and Manitoba customers are consumption based billing systems meaning they pay after use - their first billing notice will happen from Feb 8th, a second notification from March 8th and charges actually happen from April 8th with the new rates in affect.

Get ready to open your wallets up a bit wider yet again.

If these are "older packages", what are the equivalent newer packages?

Is Shaw trying to drive people to a newer type of package?

Shaw is trying to make the older packaging pricing the same, as the newer style packages.

Personal TV instead of Basic TV
Premier TV instead of full/classic cable

Oh, that's what that last "courtesy lube" included with the bill was about...
