- Am reading this with interest.

I just got a phone call from a friend in Edmonton who switch on AGT or
whatever they are called now, to Shaw Cable.

Here is the cost he went through.

--free BBQ for him and the family at Shaw Cable.
--monthly rate of $55 with unlimited hours.
--The normal installation fee of $170.00 was waived.
--No charge for the electronics and box that are required to hook the
computer into the cable line.  This is part of the $55.00 per month. He
has to repair or replace however if stolen, damaged, etc.
For this he gets of course very very high speed service.

So he was able to cancel his dedicated phone line to offset the higher
monthly rate .  


Shaw in Saskatoon today could not give me any information.  Anyone else
been talking to them?, and I would bet we will not get the deals they
get in the province I used to live in.  

al in Saskatoon.
