Re: Yep
Well, maybe there is hope for U.S. Shaw customers. Time Warner surrounds the Kingwood, Texas system. Maybe TW will buy the Shaw U.S. systems. Anything has to be better than the crappy customer service we get in Kingwood. It is not uncommon to wait "in queue" on the phone 30 minutes or more. |

i moved to an area only served by shaw communications from time warner. i loved the roadrunner speeds and prices. shaw is unbelievably slow. i have never tested over 700k for downloads, and just a few minutes ago i tested at bandwidthplace.com and got two tests averaging 30k! yes you read that right, about half a 56k DIALUP. this is the crappiest service i have ever heard of or experienced. the customer service is nonexistant, shaw's web presence is nowhere to be found, and i am signing up for dsl asap.
if i ever have the chance to influence somebody's decision to choose shaw service in the future, i will gladly spend the time to steer them away. what a bad deal, what a bad company. regardless of their admissions, we don't have a choice due to franchise limitations, and we're left without cable and broadband.
thanks a lot assholes. |

"There is a rumor going around for almost 6 months now that shaw bought moffatt for nothing more then to show a loss and write it off on the taxes" - canadian companies are more ethical then that"????
You dont work for them, so you dont know how the company treats its employees. Some of our people have not gotten a raise in 2 years, we got NOTHING for a christmas bonus, at the first of the year they raised how much we pay for our families health insurance. On a 40 hour week I bring home about 650 dollars and that is supposed to last 2 weeks. Now they want to cut the pay of installers back to 6 bucks an hour. Neither Shaw or Moffatt have any eithics at all, and treat their employees worse then dirt. |

lol,
dude, tell me the speeds you had with "moffat" tell me the speeds you have now.
i dont see how you can be so angry with shaw, they have a dept and they are selling what they had expanded on. they admit, they expanded to large.
ideally, they shouldn't have extended into the US
your defintion of a "state" is driving accross a border... i both the americas are states cause you can drive from the aleutians to cape horn

You can not compare canada to china. Canada is connected to the states via a land mass, china is thousands of miles over seas. We were promised that shaw would be in this for the long haul, that the company believed in treating its employees good. Nothing but lies for a year now. Canada is almost like a state. You can drive right across the boarder, just like you can drive from state to state. McDonalds is based in the states but they have operations all over the world. Levis main office is here in the states but they are made in different parts of the world. Toyota has plants in Japan and in the states and they are doing just fine. There is a rumor going around for almost 6 months now that shaw bought moffatt for nothing more then to show a loss and write it off on the taxes. The owners of shaw communications are nothing but liars. |
