Shaw cable awesome deal !

[mapleridgesaver]

So to start, three months ago we signed up for the one month Netflix free trial, after two weeks we decided to cancel cable and continue with Netflix.
We were paying $112/month with phone, shaw lite internet and 29 basic channels.
Then with cancelling cable (-$60/month), and joining Netflix (+$7.99/month), we were ahead by $50/month, not bad. Except no Hockey for Husband.
Fast forward to yesterday, we get a call from Shaw saying they have a great rate for the first thousand customers...
...$49/month ($4 dollars cheaper than current phone and internet only ) for 76 channels of cable, same phone service, 50x faster internet for one year!
Being a little sceptical, I asked what the catch was? To my surprise there is no catch, free cable hook-up, no fees, and they will e-mail and call in the last couple months of the agreement to notify it is about to end.
And we are keeping Netflix!
My husband did find a way to watch hockey for free on Saturdays, CBC.ca has their games livestreaming for Hockey Night in Canada.
Now everybody is happy !

Shaw and Telus both had several deals last year for new customers. There was 15/15/15 and 10/10/10, which means each service was either $15 or $10 per month. There was also varying amounts of time each promotional price would last. Some were 3 months, some were 6 months, and the best were one year. Sounds like OP got the 15/15/15 promo + rental fee for one year. That's a good deal.

After the year is up, switch to Telus for 3+ months and then just switch back to Shaw on the same promo.

Thanks for the tip.
