Yeah my monthly bill with Shaw for TV and Internet hasn't changed in the 8 years since we moved out of the city.Not true in my case. Was with Shaw for years, and they would always continue my deal when I called. This went on for about 8 years. And to be clear, it was a good deal.
MTS / Bell guy came to my door with a deal I couldn't say no to and finally when I called Shaw they said they would match but I honestly just wanted a change for change's sake.
There's always a bit of negotiation but the end of every two year term ends with us getting new hardware, usually some kind of sweetener (this time was 2 years of Disney Plus) and the same cost.
