I split up the quote a bit:
Point 1, they will most times do the price match stuff.
Point 2, Yeah you can have up to 6 receivers on 1 account and you ALL share the bill and the same channel pkg. The bill goes to one house under one name. Bell and Shaw have changed to One account for your home and ANOTHER account for the cottage/trailer. In the past they didn't care if you had 2 properties.
Point 3, the receiver cannot tell Bell or Shaw it's location unless it is plugged into an active phone jack. The phone jack sends the info back to the provider to say you are ordering an on demand or pay per view movie vs calling in to order it.
100% blame the CRTC! They told all the carriers the new plans and packages and rates. Trust me I blamed them all the time because it's 100% true the CRTC screws the consumer on TV and cell phone plans. The home phone and internet plans are what they are.
