I was once around $200 a couple years back with Shaw including taxes. Switched to Telus with 9 theme packs, internet 15 and phone basic (plus extra theme pack, free box rentals) for about $120 amonth) for a year. Then up to about $150 for 6 months- another lesser deal for 6 months and then about $30 more after that. Except I've made some changes. Took out the extra theme pack and special 4 pack at $15, added Netflix, the big one though is I switched the phone to VoIP saving close to $30 a month including taxes and getting phone service with 45 calling features plus free long distance in N. America and 60 min. free elsewhere, 2 phone lines, etc. for about $12 a month total over 2 years. Huge savings and the quality is really good, the features way better. I'd seriously consider downsizing the cable as well but not totally in my control but I do a lot more watching through the net- what I want and when I want for less and for free in many cases.
