Well I guess this is goodbye to you guys. Somebody else will have to takeover this thread as I have finally decided to make the switch to Telus.

Hopefully SHAW starts keeping the Free Previews page up to date and with the correct information........but I think we all know by now that this is the longest of longshots. All I can say now is " Good Luck ".

Not a problem - I was glad to help out as I know there were a lot of SHAW customers that were as frustrated as I was with how badly the Free Previews page was run.

I don't think I will be able to post here anymore once I lose my @shaw.ca e-mail address. I'll try but I doubt I will be able to log in once I switch over to my Telus e-mail address.
