Eligibility
To use Fibre+ WiFi Pods, you will need:
Do I need pods?
Do you have rooms in your home with poor WiFi connectivity? If so, pods may be a good solution. Pods help extend the range of WiFi coverage in your home to hard-to-reach areas, or areas with poor WiFi signal.
Will pods improve my Internet speed?
No, pods won't increase your Internet speed, and are not intended to provide the maximum speed of your Internet subscription tier. Pods will only help you connect in areas where you could not previously connect to your in-home WiFi.
How do I get Shaw WiFi Pods?
You can order Pods online at shaw.ca, or by contacting a Shaw agent. BlueCurve Pods are available in a 3-Pack, and Fibre+ WiFi Pods are available individually. You can rent a maximum of three 3-Packs per account or up to six Fibre+ WiFi pods.
