I have shaw home phone internet and hd telus keeps calling me to change to them. They are going to do the home phone hi-speed internet and hd with 40 channels for $137 for the first year and $173 after. Thing is i would save money but im happy with shaw never had a problem with them in 3 years. What is telus like would it be worth the swap?
telus or shaw

I just went with TELUS TV and the internet bundle...16MBps unreal speed and the PVR Anywhere rocks.
Just make sure you check them both out...everyone is going to have a different opinion.
PM me with your phone # and I'll pre-qual your line if you want.

I hate Telus but we don't get a choice up North.

Same here. If I had any choice, I'd tell Telus to suck it. Stick with Shaw, they were great to deal with for phone, internet, and cable when I was in Sherwood Park.

I am with Shaw for tv, internet and home phone.
I was with Telus for everything, including cel phones and business but stopped.
The only difference is customer service. If the product is the same, you should excel at customer service, and I found that Telus had no customer service at all and moved to Shaw. I don't know if they fixed their service issues, but it was bad enough that I'll never use Telus again. I'll go without before I go back to them.
Besides, Shaw doesn't have a contract so you can cancel anytime without penalty.

i switched from shaw to telus because shaw dosnt have enough phone lines and sometimes i couldnt make or place a call. Drove me nuts. 1st 3 months free with telus then if you cancel you get charged for 1 month of service. works out to be about $30/month cheaper than shaw. Includes free PVR. have not had 1 single problem. Also get free wireless internet. good download speeds. get call display on the TV. kinda cool

Ditto. Very important for me to have internet at home for work reasons, and Shaw was down A LOT. Telus has been solid. I'm not a huge downloaded or gamer so if the speed is different, I haven't noticed.
Saw the same when I was up in ft mac. Shaw was constantly losing connection, I got Telus and lost connection maybe a few times in a year.
It could possibly just have been the crappy router too...
