customer service personnel did not seem to realize the issues, even before discussions started I would be an email for feedback regarding customer service and company, never recieved. been a customer for over 30 years, rate for tv went from $79-$129 with no contact or reason. not able to find precise statements(amounts found on emails(amounts only)), programming keeps getting worse with channels dropped. over 30 years with company, and offered a $50 credit. Compared to other suppliers, the company ranks the worst for customer communication and support read more

They make you ask your question over and over to avoid answering it. They will never reward loyal clients. Bell is the only company worth dealing with for Internet and television services. Avoid shaw Rogers to save yourself frustration read more

Their new logo should be a big middle finger. They have deliberately understaffed their support department. One of the hold messages was voiced by a recent ESL student. They leave you on hold for 45 min to well over an hour. I am presently on hold for 1:04:25, and still waiting. While in Italy, 8 days into my trip, my Shaw e-mail stopped working, as did my wife's. This crippled my financial planning business and all of our other communications. We depend on Shaw e-mail for so much, but they don't give a crap. Their support line doesn't even have a call back option. So they hold you hostage for an extended period of time. The executives at Rogers should be ashamed of themselves. Once I get my next show up an running I'm going to talk about this extensively. read more

The Shaw customer service has really gone downhill since taken over by Rogers . A week ago I waited 45 minutes on hold to talk to an agent . I was quite anxious b/c. I had clicked on a spam like and wanted to talk to a ""real person" . When I asked agent if they were short staffed . She saiid "No but didn't seem to know what the problem was ??? The second time I called a few days ago for technical support b/c my emails were not showing up in my inbox. The wait time was an hour and agent could not resolve my problem. He told me he would do a restart that would take a few hours and he would call me next day between 4 and 5 PM. G guess what he never called. I have been a Shaw customer for 45 years . I would not recommend this company. I am seriously considering getting a quote from Telus and changing providers . read more

An absolute scam, flee to any other provider. They are super pricy, the customer service is not helpful at all.

It's been very frustrating dealing with Shaw regarding billing issues. My recent payment was rejected because my credit card had expired. As soon as I received the notification, I logged in, updated my credit card information, and paid the bill right away. However, I was surprised to see a $70 transaction fee charged by Shaw. That amount seems excessive and unreasonable. read more

My bill was to be $200.00 a month. I paid the deposit of $200.00 dollars as well. I paid my bill and out of nowhere I started getting charged almost double. My bill is now 360.00 a month for internet and cable. I've called for answers, only to be hung up on or disconnected with no call back. Customer service, I blame on the people themselves......YOU ARE ALL IN CANADA....DO BETTER! It's a shame we have to rant about such diabolical behavior. Grow up. read more

Unfortunately there is not a 0 for service. After just spending 70 minutes on hold, and not being helped by a person, just the same recording over, and over, and over. I am fully disgusted with Shaw/ Roger's. I had no way of knowing my service was to be cut off, as no bill, no phone call, just an email on Friday, and my service was canceled on Sunday morning. So much for the 24/7 help line. Overpriced lack of service. Shaw/Roger's you people really suck, and shitty service! read more

Shaw/Rogers is a horrible company. I have had problems with my internet for years, always slow and have always had problems streaming. I have been paying for internet 600 which should be able to provide 600mbps with the modem hardwired to the computer. best I've ever seen is around 100mbps. I even went out and bought a more powerful modem thinking that was the problem. I recently decided that if they can't provide faster internet that I would down grade to a slower and cheaper option. now I get a bill that's higher than I was paying previously? try to contact them about it, GOOD LUCK!! sit on hold and get disconnected. customer service is a zero. I am switching to another internet provider and will never use (Shaw)/Rogers again. DO NOT RECOMEND!! read more

What a terrible company. My bill randomly increased last month. Contacted them to ask, and the answer was: they only allow 1 free cable box instead of 2 now as of a recent change. Thanks for the heads up?? just increasing bills without notifying their customers hoping they will just pay it? What a joke. Praying on people with autopayment enabled. To add to the horrible service, when i contacted them about this. I get in contact with someone who has no idea what i am asking, and cannot speak proper English. Made this even more frustrating. Oh, and their internet is just straight up terrible, constant connection issues, even with boosters and trouble shooting multiple times. I used to have TELUS, but had to switch when i moved due to not having TELUS services hooked up to this house. I will move back to TELUS the moment i can. read more

25 year with being shaw customers, internet , TV and home telephone, current 2 year agree expiring soon and the best that they can do is increase my monthly rate with all tax in from 231.00 per month to 287.00 per month. No issues with their services, but feel like they are not loyal to their existing customers. I started my services with in 1999 and will be ending them in Feb 2025. Anybody have any advice which other provider will give me a better deal? read more

why can't I choose zero stars? they can't access my account or log me on to my billing. no one can help. spent hours dealing with this. choose telus read more

this is yet another experience like most of those reported. None of us should be surprised after the CRTC allowed this (do whatever you want Rogers/Telus) merger. I have now been on hold for 2 hours to advise someone who cares (good luck) that the "transaction fees" for unreturned equipment need to be removed. Canada Post tracking says this equipment was delivered on Oct 9/24 with signature confirming receipt. A sane person might ask why I am spending my valuable time attempting to correct the error of a cash-grabbing, careless and grossly inefficient corporate entity. read more

At least 20 years with Shaw last bill misplaced and sent to creditor for late payment. Well couple hours on phone payed my 120 bucks sooo f u Shaw and Roger's will be canceling my phone too poor internet cooper cable no update in all though years . See if that helps your bottom line they just do not care read more

Loyal Shaw customer for 20 years, well no more. Was on hold for 2 hours and nothing was resolved. Renewed my contract with them in July but their monthly fee increased ridiculously. What good is a contract them. To get out we have to pay a goddamm $600. Their TV and wifi worked hard the time. We have to suffer with Shaw for another 20 months. Don't use this company, they're a scam. I'm going to switch to Telus once my contract is up. read more

I am in a 2 year contract with Shaw, so much for no changes after the Rogers takeover! They just increased the rental cost of my TV portal box because that is not included on my contract - the contract only covers services... so looks like I can expect more increases on my 4K TV Player and my Internet modem! The person I called to inquire about the increase said that they were not aware until just before the increase that it was going up, but then she went on to assure me that there are no other increases coming... how would she know if they were not aware of this increase? My contract ends in November, looks like it is time to try Telus... read more

After being a client for over 13 years I moved to area they do not service- they told me they cannot service me there and said I have to pay 400 for not finishing my two year agreement with them. Not very impressed as I told them I would still have my cellphone with them and they said they don't care read more

Not this store itself ...but the company as a whole....shaw should of never been sold to Rogers ...we have no choice in cable companies...tv packages we are offered thru are not worth it.... I asked for Small tv prebuilt like I had back in May & the agents wouldn't let me get it back...it's cheaper than the Flex 20 now that Shaw has...with more channels. read more

Don't ever sign up with Shaw/Rogers. I had a contract with them for 2 years. One year in they changed the contract and started charging me $40 more a month. They say they are able to change that part of the contract. Yet I cannot cancel with them without them charging me $30/month for the balance of the contract. A total MONEY GRAB! I have been with Shaw for over 20 years. I feel totally duped. So disappointed that this multi monopoly can do what they want. I WILL NOT BE RENEWING. But am totally stuck for a further year. WHAT a SHAM!!! read more

Very Very poor Service ‼ when you call Shaw customer service you get somebody out in India or some foreign country that can't speak English. They keep you on the phone for like 55 minutes and then they have to go and they say they'll call you back. They have to go talk to their supervisor about this issue, cause they don't want to be scored low on helping customers out then they call you. I talk to you for another 10 minutes and then they say we'll have to get takeout my fifth call my fourth call to these guys. I specifically said I don't wanna be on the phone for another 55 minutes. I want you guys to send me a take out to fix this issue and then the person in India keeps trying to talk over your voice. They won't listen to what you're saying, I will never ever sign up for sure again these guys are absolutely brutal. You can't talk to anybody in Canada because I don't have anybody here that will take calls. They just have Sunday in India that speaks extremely bad English just horrible, horrible horrible.⁉ read more

Since Shaw joined with Rogers. Their customer service drop to zero. not understanding, useless, cant get thru them for a few days. HORRIBLE!!! read more

I have had Shaw internet for over 2 years....pay way too much!!! Since joining with Rogers they are HORRIBLE! They asked for us to ship back older equipment and they shipped me updated equipment...never worked properly from start, I had no issues before (with equipment)... suddenly everything screwed up...could not shut power off...no volume control. I called Tellus and they charged me $110.00 LESS per month...for exactly same service!!! Shaw....get it together! read more

This company is a total joke. My family has been their loyal customer for phone,TV and internet and we had ongoing problem with Shaw Open Wifi. First of all, why call it open Wifi when I cannot login and Telus wifi is easier to use at least. I just need my email or login just to use wherever I go (Telus). My dad phoned Shaw last week and then auto dialer called us back. My dad (account holder) was away and I got connected to agent Amanda who was new and clueless. She did not verify information to find who I was, and she rather refused to do it. She spent 20 minutes of time in serious gong show. I even requested to be phoned back and told her she still had to talk to me due to language barrier (My dad isn't good in English). She asked what language he speaks which is Korean. According to Amanda, no Korean agents, but Japanese. I mean, I already repeated and explained it all about it. Shaw wifi never works and the commercial is often falsely advertised. I remember one agent way back she helped us set up our account for wifi. Amanda did nothing, but typing comments or maybe even whine about how stupid customers are. That was very unprofessional of her. She said the company doesn't do call back in and hour, and lied that she would transfer me to another agent. I was once a call center agent once, and previously learned about warm/cold transfer and the agent said she was off in an hour. I also want to add that companies often monitor calls if the customer had a great service, and nothing happened during this call. Tl;dr agent Amanda was unprofessional and not knowledgeable. Even though Shaw takes $100 of our bill every month their call center service is quite shitty. I might get connected to knowledgeable and kind agent one day and Amanda definetely needs some coaching to be taught. She needs proper training on customer service and communication skills. read more

I signed for Shaw Internet and was installed 21st of December. However it wasn't activated and every time I called Tech Support and get different explanation and nobody give me any timeline on when it can be fixed. I ended up without internet for weeks and literally spoiled our holidays. I decided to have my order cancelled and talk to one of your customer rep and he told me that he submitted the cancellation and even gave me a ticket number. I made a couple of follow up call to confirm the cancellation and I was told that it will take longer time due to holiday. Finally, I called January 12 and talk to Patrick (from Alberta) to make follow up. He was charging me $300+ for early cancellation and was very rude and even denying that I requested cancellation previously. He sounded more like a scammer rather than a Customer Service Representative. I ask him to transfer me to his supervisor, but after few minutes he talk to me again with the same tone and rudeness. I felt that I was being disrespected, so I decided to end our conversation. What is interesting is, right after I hanged up, he called me and left message on my voice that he is confirming the cancellation without any fee. And at the same time emailed me shipping label for equipment return together with cancellation confirmation. I just don't understand why such person can work on Customer Service with that kind of attitude and incompetence. read more

Actually Minus star rating. there is no option to choose. I have never got this terribly rudest customer service any where. its only "SHAW". I had problem connect internet and off internet 2days. and I got very satisfied service from them. This is how they response from my inquired "NO" , "When do you want cancel plan?" they push me to make me cancel their plan. what a great service of business. and there is no credit back for the off internet. Thanks Harshal (Customer service professional). read more

HORRIBLE!!! Tried to switch to shaw mobile and the sim cards they sent did not work.4 chat sessions later shaw can't figure out why the sim cards dont work. That's after they sent me back and forth between each other many times. I seriously think these people have issues in shaw customer service. There is obviously no legit screening process there. I called this time hoping to just get connected...Nope! Lady had a baby crying and people yelling in the background and she didn't want to deal with connecting me after she saw the sim cards were not working. Total "HOOD" company. Much better alternatives out there!! Sincerely, ..-. ..- -.-. -.- / -.-- --- ..- / ... .... .- .-- read more

It's Thursday, AND MY TV WORKED! Wow! For the first time in THREE MONTHS, my TV worked on a Thursday! Hopefully it's working tonight, and doesn't go out again... Also, my landlord isn't charging me for cable this month. Good, because I wasn't going to pay for it anyway. read more

Shaw Cable - Missing Final Jeopardy because Shaw is fucking up AGAIN. - Television Service Providers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Not good is right.....service is absolutely crap. Plan to spend a lot when you cancel....there's a charge for everything. When I asked questions about charges it would take forever. I was a customer with shaw for over 10 years, I signed a 2 yr contract and cannot wait to get rid of them. They're now crap! read more

Terrible service. I used them for 3 years and had 4 or 5 techs come to fix my service issues. Always during working hours, so I would have to take time off of work. I constantly had issues with connectivity dropping and having to reset the modem. Each tech gave me a different response. I've since learned that their outdated coaxial system causes the same issue for many users, but they would rather blame the customer than admit they're lying about offering a "Fibre" connection. I saw pamphlets come in the mail for the same level I had for $50 less per month. They wouldn't match the price but put me on a contract for $25 over their advertised price. Then when I got fed up with the bad service I was charged $200 for cancelling. read more

I would barely give them one star. I have been a customer for years and the internet has been unreliable. they promised me better speed with this new contract. signed for two years and the internet has gone down hill ever since. I always have to be plugged into an ethernet cable and i spend a hour on the phone and all they do is check speeds and tell me nothing is wrong..... read more

I was a Shaw customer for 13 years. I phoned and tried to cancel my cable back in October 2019 and was placed on hold for 3.5 hours then when finally I got through to an agent she told me the cancellation was successfully processed. In November 2019 I was billed again for cable, and I called back, once again waiting 3.5 hours to get through to an agent, who had the audacity to tell me that the Cancellation Department was now closed and I had to call back the next day. The third time I called in December 2019, I got through to an agent almost immediately. This matches what has been said about your company in online forums that there is a mandatory 3-call mechanism to screen calls where the intent is cable cancellation. Finally when I asked what can be done for me to retain me as a customer as I was moving and was strongly considering defecting to Telus, the agent I spoke with quoted me a higher monthly quote than what I was paying currently, totally oblivious that I did not need the highest package and that Telus had already quoted a lower rate for a package that better suited my needs. I asked if I could think about it and call or email the agent back, he said that he could not provide such information, and that he could phone me back the next day to follow up. He never did call back so I signed up with Telus. Absolutely brutal customer service, charged me for 3 extra months for cable using a system to deliberately exhaust customers in their attempt to cancel, and the cherry on the cake was my $198 final settlement invoice to pay the "return equipment fee" for a modem and router you hardwired into my unit 6 years ago that obviously has zero salvage value. Shame on your company for running such a sham and you've lost a loyal customer. And of course I am now actively telling everyone about my experience at Shaw and will absolutely discourage anyone from ever signing up with your services unless they want to be ripped off like I was. Update: I received a threatening letter from their collection agency dated March 12 demanding payment for the "unreturned equipment". Not only did I pay them already on March 10, but my move-out date was January 31. Is it even legal to send someone's account to collections this quickly? Is it common practice in other industries to send accounts to collections agencies 42 days after the termination of services? What a disgusting way to run a company, especially given the times. I'm sure the modem and router you installed for me in 2014 is worth the $198 you are currently getting a collections agency to chase me down for. What a scam. read more

Shaw Cable - Waited 2 hours for an automated call back. Then the automated call puts you on hold for an additional hour and a half. - Television Service Providers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

i have internet 500, that took them 2 WHOLE WEEKS, to set me up. When I TOLD THEM AT THE START OF THE ORDER, that i would need a technician to setup the shaw service through my unit. They instead told me I would not need it, and refused to book me one until my router arrived via the shit postal service, and I tried setting it up myself. I work from home. I had to take a week off work waiting for router to arrive, and then I did NOT even have any fucking service, So i had to call them up and request a fucking technician like i had assumed i would, and there was a week wait for him to be free. Booked for 8 am, didnt show up til 10 am. Now that it is actually setup, half the time my internet speed through a wired ethernet cable is actually about 50 mbps (instead of the 500 mbps). I have never been sooooo SLOOOOW just waiting for my internet to fucking run. I will NEVER get any sort of plan from shaw again. Pathetic internet provider. read more

Zero dont ever give this company access to your account. They bill you one amount. And take out double. Once my contract is done, I will get another cable company. read more

I have been a loyal customer to Shaw for almost 10 years. I previously had Shaw Direct when I lived in a rural county, but now have internet and Gateway television. There are 3 gaming computers in our house so I purchased a package that included the highest internet speed. I now see Shaw advertising a 600mgb internet speed to NEW customers for $65.00 per month on a two year contract. It totally infuriated me when I was told I had been able to take advantage of a discount when I first became a customer. I want to know why Shaw does not reward customers for their loyalty, but have received no response from their CEO or President. Perhaps they would just prefer I take advantage of other discounts offered by other companies, as it appears they don't value my loyalty read more

2 years later and I'm still waiting for them to call me back. I was laid off end of 2018, and reached out via chat, phone, email, as well as in store to get help with my bill, and was always told to send an email or phone and someone would assist me. I never received a return email, never received a phone call (except the automated call telling me to call them). It's been over 2 years since I reached out for help, and still have never received a response, however they had no issues sending my debt to collection. I used to highly recommend Shaw, and dislike Telus, but the tables have significantly turned. Customer service with Shaw is non-existent. Telus has been phenomenal. Stay away from Shaw, they truly don't care about you as a customer read more

Worst company EVER! For FOUR YEARS I've paid for an internet service that barely works. They have a monopoly in this province and they're trash. The first service provider stalked me and came INTO MY HOME WHEN HE WAS OFF SHIFT (I had a service call out and didn't know he was off shift until he called the company to tell them when he arrived) after also finding where I worked and coming into my place of employment! He changed my modem to an old model and I've been scared to call for four years because they did NOTHING when I called and told them what had all transpired! Four years later I get the courage to have a new modem as my internet has barely worked for over $100/month (YW for the over $5000 Shaw) and they juggle me between reps and then HANG UP ON ME!! Not okay! read more
