Shaw hikes up rates for home internet, TV, and phone

Jun 9 2016, 2:28 am

Bad news if you’re a Shaw residential customer – the comms giant is putting its rates up for everything.

Starting August 1, Shaw customers with internet, TV, or phone plans will pay more – although Shaw has not confirmed exactly how much more.

A customer bulletin from Shaw says the increase will “help to support future internet and network enhancements and quality programming.”

On its website, a Shaw Q&A also states the rate hike is due to “rising operational costs.”

And if you think that sucks, wait for this – Shaw is only guaranteeing their rates won’t go up again until next summer.

Shaw says all customers are being informed of the exact rate change in their monthly invoice.
