This is the last time....
 
..I want to hear everyone singing loudly to the lyrics from Keane :rofl:

This is all I keep on thinking now...I have been to work for the last time, I have called BT for the last time, I have cancelled SKY for the last time.....I am hoping we have mowed the lawn for the last time :unsure: Paid off our Credit Cards for the last time .... Really nervous, really scared, really excited, really YESSSS we are doing this :thumbsup: Good luck to everyone in the same boat and to all who have been here and done it and who will follow...it's a weird and wonderful time....We were given an extra 2 weeks grace for our furniture to be taken away :thumbup: Counting small blessings....

Just wanted to vent really :)

Thanks for listening

Cancelling Sky probably allowed you to pay off your credit card bills.

Just think soon you will be:

Applying for credit cards for the first time, getting Rogers cable for the first time etc etc

:thumbup:

If you talk to any Canadian then Rogers are quite possibly the worst company ever. But in my experience they have been great. We have phone, cable, cell phones and internet through them. Never had any problems with them.

And if you like your soccer you can get GolTV for $2.50 a month. Go figure!!

:thumbsup:

Enjoy this part of the journey.

There's usually only one option for cable in each province. Shaw aren't particularly cheap, but you don't have a huge amount of choice.

Thanks Bazzz

Our landlords recommended Shaw..it's all a bit 'suck it and see' at present. Thanks for your advice

Check rogers out - www.rogers.com

We are here on recci and one good thing is that we can have our uk cell phones with us and just put one of there sim cards in.

if you put $100 dollars on it - then the credit lasts for 365 days, ok if you dont use your cell much

go to http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsSer...lesPricing.htm

and http://www.rogers.com/web/Rogers.portal

stick your area code in for the house you will be in and see what they offer and the packages you require.
i have just done one that i would use and shaw came out more expensive :eek:

My opinion - take with a pinch!

When choosing TV go for Shaw cable if you decide on satellite you could well loose the connection if there is slight activity in the sky - heavy rain thunder etc and snow can block the reception on occasion too and it is possibly more crap than cable.

We also use shaw for telephone and internet - no real probls with them.

Nearly due for coffee meet ups:rofl::thumbsup:
