Shaw Outage in Prince George, British Columbia

.@Shawhelp says there’s a service outage in Prince George, affecting customers with Internet, Business Internet, Phone, Business Phone, Digital TV, VOD, Gateway, BlueSky TV, WiFi Access Points. Website says a fix is in progress | #CityOfPG @PGMatters

I totally understand unpredictable circumstances but I also have a business to run and there was a guarantee made over the phone that this would be a solution for the weekend. @ShawTVNorthBC @ShawInfo

@PeterVogel @Shawhelp I’m considering dropping ShawTV because of their rates (keep rising) and service (poor signal lack of selection).

@Shawhelp Has the @ShawFireLog begun in Edmonton on non-Shaw direct service yet? Not on channel 222 HD or any other HD channel from 200 to 300?

@Shawhelp My internet is not working. I’m very frustrated!

@Shawhelp Oh I need assistance. There is just no one able to help me.

@PeterVogel @Shawhelp In 2000 I was paying about $25 a month for unlimited 3G data in Japan. And $10 a month for a fibre connection to my apartment that hit about 60 MBPs. When I travel in Europe I usually get a month of unlimited data and talk for about $30. The problem here is competition.

@PeterVogel @Shawhelp I pay basically the same as you. The rate you are paying is the long time customer rate. I wish other companies were as good as Shaw and kept jobs in Canada. If new customers won’t sign up at that rate there are other places they can turn. CDN rates too high across the board.

Just to be clear, Shaw Communications has effectively raised Internet and TV rates by around 50% since this time a year ago. I presently pay $121 (taxes in) for 600 Mbps service plus BlueCurve Total TV. That same service today costs $185, an increase of 53%! @shawhelp #Vancouver

@ShawInfo I bought a new build home that has older homes on both sides serviced by Shaw. How is it that houses on BOTH sides of my house can get shaw internet but you REFUSE to run the line to my house? Your agents seem completely baffled by this. Has it never happened?

@Shawhelp We're trying to fix it ourselves first. This happens ALL the time. We just tried the system refresh and it did nothing. Guess we'll turn it off and then back on again. 🙄

@CanadianAngel77 @Shawhelp Well, I guess they have you by the ***** when you are under contact, huh? They refused to let my daughter out of her contract but she can't get service where she lives now. So they are essentially taking her money for nothing. That's bullshit.
