“Shaw Business constantly proves that they are the best to deal with in the business.  I can honestly say I’ve never had another carrier proactively solve our business requirements, and I believe our two companies accomplish a lot together.  It’s a true pleasure working with your team.”

“We have been a long time customer of Shaw Business and have come to recognize them as leaders in their field. We recently turned up additional services to our new Toronto and Vancouver collocation sites and were extremely pleased with the diligence in which Shaw provisioned these new facilities. From the time the ink had dried on the contract, our sales account manager had her team in motion, provisioning our new services and keeping us abreast of how the installation was proceeding on a regular basis. Any questions Shaw or we had about the installation or the provisioning of the service were quickly dealt with. By the time we had installed our hardware in the two sites, the facilities were already delivered and ready for turn up. This allowed us to advance our proposed cutover schedule of migrating our existing network to our new locations, inevitably saving us expense costs down the road.

Our decision to build my new services with Shaw again came down to this, great product with great pricing that no one could beat, a solid network with great SLAs and great customer service from a sales team that cares about our business and not the sale they just made. This is the type of business relationship that allows both customer and service provider to be successful.”

“I am writing to express my sheer delight in my experience with Shaw Business and our Voice/PRI Service. Although this was a new service for us, Shaw took the time to put in the effort to do it right. The service was delivered on time and without a hitch. The quality of the sound is absolutely perfect.
I recommend the service to any business without hesitation. Thank You Shaw.”

”ITC is one of western Canada’s largest general contractors and uses sophisticated systems to manage the various projects throughout B.C. and Alberta. Construction sites are staffed with Superintendents, Project Managers and Coordinators, all of whom rely on highly-available data and communication networks to ensure the job is done right and on time.

When I first started with ITC in late 2008, the leased network connections to the sites from head office were not reliable. Productivity was lost due to network downtime; connections were also slow, causing a high degree of user frustration.

Since switching over to Shaw Business in early 2009, our sites and regional office in Calgary have enjoyed a high degree of uptime with increased speed and reduced latency. Staff productivity has increased as has the overall satisfaction with the service. Shaw’s TLS service has been so reliable in fact, that ITC has layered on additional services to the network such as VoIP and Fax over IP. These services have worked flawlessly.

Finally, ITC has also switched to PRI voice services from Shaw at both our head office in Vancouver as well as at our regional office in Calgary. With these combined services, ITC has greatly increased site to site and site to office communications efficiency. I would recommend Shaw Business to any business requiring highly available, reliable leased networks.”

Every time I've had occasion to call the Shaw Business NOC (Network Operations Centre), I'm greeted by techs immediately and who are willing and capable of solving any issues I have.  

In 2010, there was a car accident near Kamloops that took out some fiber.  The fiber was owned by Shaw, but some of it was leased to another carrier.  The other carrier's circuit went down, but our Shaw circuit remained up (probably because of your diverse paths).  The other carrier's NOC was unable to give me any status updates, or descriptions of the problems.  As soon as I found out where the problem was located, I called the Shaw Business NOC to see if my circuit was in jeopardy in any way.  The Shaw Business NOC was helpful and knowledgeable, and was able and willing to give me status updates on the repairs of the fiber, even though my Shaw circuit was working perfectly.

 I'd appreciate if you could pass on my words to your NOC and tell them that your customers appreciate the job they do, and please don't change anything. Keep up the good work!

My name is Charles Slaughter and I am the President of Synergy Inmate Phone Solutions Inc.  We are located in San Antonio, Texas and were recently awarded the Inmate Phone contracts for Alberta and Saskatchewan Provincial Correctional Centres. 

When we were awarded the Province of Saskatchewan we did not know where to start and were referred to Shaw Business.  Our Shaw Business Account Executive jumped in with both feet and really assisted us with getting T-1’s installed throughout the Province in a very timely fashion.   He really came through for us on a location that had been told by an ILEC for 15 years they could not service the location, which bailed us out of a very tough situation. 

We have been thrilled with our Shaw Account Executive and everyone at Shaw Business since day one.  Their professionalism, quick response and attention to details are second to none and I highly recommend their services.
