Reduce or cancel TV subscription

[HarveyG]

Currently I only watch 5 to 6 channels of the 100 Plus that I have.

With no sports I feel the price I'm paying is too high for the one or two I now watch.

Can a subscription be reduced and returned to the existing plan?

The reasons I ask is my existing plan seem not to exist. I do not want to end up paying more when things return to normal.

It might be best just to cancel?

Thanks Harvey

Go online for Shaw customer care (my shaw?) and select CHAT option. They can adjust channels.

Talk to an agent they can help you. Avoid the newer plans if you can. The legacy plan rates are better. An agent can help you sort that out.

Not very user friendly to remove unsubscribe unwatched channels, what can I do

@glongstreet Call or chat in to Shaw for help.

@HarveyG -- have you considered Shaw's "Limited TV", at $25/month.

You could pay an additional fee to add-on the "sports" channels, to watch:

* the current NHL season,

* the upcoming NHL playoffs,

* the (struggling) Toronto Raptors,

* the Toronto Blue Jays,

* the wrap-up of "March Madness" USA college/university basketball,

* the Tokyo 2020/2021 Summer Olympics, in August,

* the upcoming (February 2022) Winter Olympics,

* soon, the World Championships in Curling.

Check with Shaw, if you currently have a "two-year Value Plan", which may restrict you from cutting-back too far on your current TV package.

I don’t have a tv or computer, just a cell phone. $95 a month. Am I old, stupid or both. I’m loyal to old man Shaw, in the late 70’s I went at least a year without paying, no threats of cutting services or just paid up and kept up since.  Edmonton Alberta.

If you are not paying for Internet (for your computer) and not paying for TV, i.e., paying only for a "full" cell-phone plan (gigs & gigs of data), then $95/month (taxes included?) is too much to pay.

Wander through any local mall, and check out the cellular store-fronts (Bell, Shaw/Rogers, Telus, Virgin, Koodo, Freedom Mobile, Dollarama) to find a monthly rate that meets your needs, especially if you are "bringing your own device", instead of buying a new phone via 24 monthly payments.
