Shocked How much are those plans each without any kind of bundle? GB/month limit?

Okay here is a list (below) of what they have and some are for 3 month prices and some for 6 month prices but the regular price after that isn't very much higher as I think as I am not sure but my cost is 34.95 regular cost for extreme I, but I am not 100% sure on that but it is around that price, and internet below the top service all have power boost included to give you a little extra speed for a while.

High speed lite:
The perfect choice for those who email as well as lightly browse the Internet.
1 Mbps download
Up to 1 Mbps download speed
3 personal email addresses
10 GB/month data transfer
8 No-Cost Extras
+ 1st 30 days on us
+ Modem included
$19.95/month for six months (*1)

High speed:
Ideal for those who send a lot of email, download large files,
such as music or TV episodes, and play online games.
7.5 Mbps download
Up to 7.5 Mbps download speed
10 personal email addresses
Includes PowerBoostTM
60 GB/month data transfer
8 No-Cost Extras
+ Modem included
$14.95/month for three months (*2)

High speed extreme:
For those who download large files, appreciate online gaming,
and visit interactive, media-intensive Web sites.
15 Mbps download
Up to 15 Mbps download speed
10 personal email addresses
Includes PowerBoostTM
1 Mbps upload speed
100 GB/month data transfer
8 No-Cost Extras
+ Modem included
$24.95/month for three months (*3)

High speed warp and think nitro is the same:
Download music in seconds and full-length movies in less than
ten minutes*.
25 Mbps download
Up to 25 Mbps download speed
10 personal email addresses
8 No-Cost Extras
2 Mbps upload speed
150 GB/month data transfer
+ Modem included
$96.00 per month (*4)

Now I know the data transfer they allow a month isn't the best and this is why I use a seedbox also, but I have never reached my limit in a month on using extreme I but it works well and pretty fast.

Of course their top service is a little up there in price but this is for extreme user only I think as I don't really need that much for that price, I'll check on that price I am paying for my service to be sure of the price I mentioned above if it is correct or not and will post it in this post.

Okay it is $39.95 as we have it bundled with tv service and I think stand alone it is around $45-50 as it has gone up in the last little while as I haven't seen a bill for quite a bit as she always has the bill..hehe..I guess that is good in one way, but I still share the cost.

And on that nitro service it is now different than the high speed warp as the nitro for our area (Saskatoon) is 100mbps down and 5mbps up and a 200gb limit per month at a whooping $249.95 at stand alone and if bundled with another service from them only $149.95..here is the info from a magazine.

Shaw rolls Nitro out to other Canadian cities

Shaw Communications -- which has been offering 100 Mbps High-Speed Nitro broadband in Saskatoon, Victoria and Winnipeg -- now is rolling out the service in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. The company is offering the DOCSIS 3.0 service for $149 per month when bundled with other offerings.

Now I think I heard that they might drop the price a bit but I am not sure at this time but it is still pretty expensive, but the speed would be nice if they dropped it in price a bit more so people can afford it more easy. Smile
