CALGARY — Shaw Communications announced Wednesday the launch of its Fibre+ Gig Internet product, which it says is the most broadly available plan for gigabit speeds for residential Internet customers in Western Canada.
Fibre+ Gig is now available to more than 99% of Shaw’s residential customers, due to the ongoing investments the company has made to its Fibre+ network, says the news release. Shaw has offered gigabit speeds to business customers since March 2019.
“Customers today trust in and rely on their home technology like never before, which is why we have continued investing in growing our Fibre+ network and services — more than $20 billion over the past seven years — to bring Western Canadians the blazing fast speeds and bandwidth they need to power their connected lives,” said Paul McAleese, president. “Because of our continuous investments, homes in even the smallest communities that we serve can get the same fast Fibre+ Gig speeds that customers in Vancouver or Calgary are able to enjoy.”
In addition to rolling out its Fibre+ Gig plan for residential customers, Shaw has launched a new entry-level Internet plan and a new lineup of Internet tiers to give customers more choice depending on their connectivity needs.
The new Internet plans include:
- Fibre+ Gig: With speeds of up to 1 Gbps, customers can download a full high-definition movie in a matter of seconds. Fibre+ Gig is available with unlimited data for $115 monthly on a two-year ValuePlan.
- Fibre+ 750: A new service tier, with download speeds of up to 750 Mbps and starting at $110 per month on a two-year ValuePlan with unlimited data.
- Basic 10: Launched in response to customers’ recent demands for more affordable plans, Basic 10 starts at $50 per month on a two-year ValuePlan, with download speeds of up to 10 Mbps.
