    A glimpse at what my closet looks like after having Shaw come over and leave. Also opened up my crawl space and threw splitters and wires down it. FOOLS. Come back and fix this mess.

    Pay for the TOP TIER: 300mbps  --- and this is what I get.
    Hayley M.

    FOR ANYONE LIVING DOWNTOWN: I paid for the top tier, top speed (which at the time was 300mbps) and has HORRIBLE connection... After contacting a technician to run a test, found out what I was ACTUALLY receiving ... 8.2 mbps. This was also in the middle of the day of a workday. So don't let anyone convince you it won't always be that bad, that there was "just a period of time where a lot of people in the area using it at once" Do NOT sign up with Shaw if you live downtown: they cannot provide the speed in concentrated areas.

    Over an hour wait on a fa##ing callback. Such bull$%it!!!!
    Shail P.

    Complete disregard to customer's time. I called them to move my services to my new apartment. The automated response gave me a call back option since the wait was long. The call back was supposed to be between 35 to 45 minutes. I opted for it over having to stay on the line for that long. I received a "Call back" after 80 something minutes and to my disappointment I was greeted by another automated response. To fuel the frustration there was no one on the call after being told I'm the first one in the que now. But it has been over 47 minutes since (as you can see in my uploaded pic), and I still have no idea how long I'm going to listen to this f(/$ing hold music and advertising. What a god damn joke. Go with a smaller company I would say, Shaw has grown too big to care for its smaller retail customers. Beyond frustrating!!!!

    On hold with Shaw customer sercive for almost 5 hrs

    Well - Moved out of my place on the 1st - Been trying to call someone to cancel for 10 days - the…read morewait times are crazy - i call and after 2 hours of being on hold my courier cuts the call - they say 15-25 minutes wait - well 9 times i was over an hour - finally at 9:15 pm last week the lady answered - took my info - then put on hold - then it said we are closed call tomorrow. Chatted with someone for 15 minutes yesterday - mentioned in my message that i am having hard time getting to get support on the phone - then i told him i want to cancel because am moving out - he spend 10 minutes taking my info and then tells me to cancel I have to call - why didn't you mention that before you took my info - - then i told him that my problem is waiting on the phone - he apologizes and then asks me if their anything else i could help you with. you need to hire more reps - when am 477 on the wait and you say 25-35 minutes and been for 70 minutes - that's not a service - you say we will call you back if you press 1 well did that twice no call the internet is fast and cable is amazing just the customer service.

    Where I live the landlord pays for cable TV which is Shaw or Rogers. Take your pick, they both…read moresuck! I seldom watch tv albeit it's free, I have neighbours who switched to Telus and now pay $200 for cable plus streaming channels. Yeah crazy but if you are informed? Got to say the worst tv shows from when tv was invented, boring crap. That's Shaw or updated Rogers, all dim, sad, who cares. Too much streaming for free out there! Save your money, don't even try because they lock you in to a contract so you'll be sorry! Their channels never improve to anything you want to watch so duhhh.

    I recently visited Vancouver with family and wanted to avoid the hassle and potential high costs…read morewith international plan with ATT so I decided to look into renting portable WIFI hotspots. Since I am a techie myself I researched many different companies offering this service. I ended up with WIFICube because it was the easiest to deal with in terms of being able to pick up and drop off directly at the Vancouver airport with a kiosk versus dealing with paying for shipping and waiting for the device to arrive at our residence prior to the trip and then mailing it back after the trip. The whole process was pretty painless, except for this. I purchased the Canada PLUS plan for unlimited data for 6 days. When I got the hotspot device from the airport, I noticed that it shows 10GB limit and was on ROGERS network. I figured maybe the limit is a soft limit, and once we have reached the 10GB it might throttle our speed down to a slower speed or something. I read the disclosure about data limits and no where did it indicate a CAP or limit for data usage, but 4 days into my trip we had hit 10GB/10GB and that's where the problem hit. The connection stopped working altogether. The hotspot itself still on and working, our devices still connect to it via WIFI, but the Internet connection from the hotspot to ROGERS stopped completely. I finally drove by a Starbucks so that I can email the WIFICube support about the problem. Never got a reply while we were still in Vancouver. That was a week ago, still not a peep from the company about my question to them why it was NOT UNLIMITED as advertised. Hence this bad review ... if you don't expect to hit the 10GB limit with the Unlimited Plan, it will be fine for you, but otherwise, prepare for the worst. Very disappointed about their false advertising.

    Purchased a Canada Plus plan and stopped working this morning…read more Emailed them 1 hour ago and still no reply. Can't really call them because I have no phone service here in Vancouver. I'll change the rating if they reply back and solve the problem. ------- Update: DAVID was able to come all the way to DT and help to reset the device! I really appreciate the help. I would suggest you guys to have some kind of instant message platform for customer service. Customers would get a much faster support. Thanks to David again!
