Re: Calgary questions.
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

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:

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