Calgary questions.
 

Can you Calgary people recommend who I might use for and ISP, phone and electricity? Links appreciated cos I can't find mine... I'm all fuddled up. :o

I will buy beer. Thanks.

I have Enmax for electricity ( http://www.enmax.com/ ) - I keep calling them Enron... Shaw for ISP/cable (http://www.shaw.ca/ ) and Telus ( http://www.telus.ca/ ) for phone.

No idea if these were poor choices, they were speedy ones. I'll watch your thread with interest!

Re: Calgary questions.
 

Enmax for electricity
Direct Energy for gas
Telus for phone/internet

We were told to use these companies by the managing agents for the poperty that we rent so didn't do much research. At least they didn't treat us as lepars for being new arrivals without any credit history and we haven't had any complaints about the service

Tut Tut get with the Plan girl, its Hydro here not electricity :rolleyes:
I use Shaw for ISP/Phone/cable (tho god knows why we have Cable).
Enmax for HYDRO
Direct Energy (I think) for gas.

You owe me one bottle of beer. :p

Same as Butch above..and I'll 'ave a pint of Kilkenny at The George in Okotoks, :beer:

Re: Calgary questions.
 

We use Telus for phone and ISP but whatever you do DO NOT get their high speed lite it is sooooooooooooo slow. We used to have BT Broadband in the UK and it is like being back on dial up! :scared:

Re: Calgary questions.
 

We use enmax for electricity & water, direct energy for gas and have just switched from Telus to Shaw for digital phone and broadband. Shaw digital gives you 1000 inclusive minutes to the UK for $55 a month also a good deal when signing up, $29 for first 3 or 6 months I think? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

It's Calgary dude, we don't have hydro ... we burn coal or produce electricity with wind ...

Re: Calgary questions.
 

Franklin my Dear I dont give a damn how we produce it, its still GENERALLY refered to as hydro. :p

Re: Calgary questions.
 

Maybe outside the prairies, but west of Ontario there's no water body tall enough to generate hydro until you get to the rockies :D

Re: Calgary questions.
 

For energy, take a look here:

You can get deals taking your electricity and gas from the same supplier.

Re: Calgary questions.
 

Seeing as a large portion of power here is wind generated, and from what's been said on the 'scents' thread - you should be self sufficicient :D :p

Re: Calgary questions.
 

You ever tried cooking on methane? :rolleyes:

Re: Calgary questions.
 

Manitoba Hydro likely wouldn't agree with you. :p
