CALGARY – Shaw said Thursday that it is giving the gift of speed this holiday season by doubling the speeds of its top internet plans for all new and existing residential customers in Western Canada.
All existing residential customers with Shaw’s Internet 300 and Internet 150 plans will be automatically upgraded in the coming weeks to 600 and 300 Mbps download speeds, respectively, at no additional cost. Shaw added that existing customers may get their speed upgrade sooner by power-cycling their modem beginning Monday, December 3.
New customers may sign up for Internet 300 and Internet 150 plans starting aat $55 and $50 per month for the first six months on a price-guaranteed 2-year ValuePlan.
Shaw CEO Brad Shaw said that doubling the speeds of its fastest offerings not a promotion or a one-time offer, and comes as a result of the company’s recent investments to expand its fibre network to virtually all neighbourhoods in its Western Canadian footprint.
“The strength of our extensive network paired with industry-leading DOCSIS 3.1 technology means that we can offer our fastest speeds to almost all of our customers today without needing to dig holes in their street, break apart their sidewalk or rip up their lawn”, he added. “And because we don’t charge for data overages, our customers also have the peace of mind in knowing they can use our network as much as they want without penalty.”
