End the Shaw Monopoly in Calgary — StreamIPTV is Alberta's Smarter Choice
Calgary has long been dominated by a small handful of cable and internet providers. Shaw Communications — now part of Rogers following its 2023 acquisition — built its business empire right here in Calgary, and for decades, Calgarians had little choice but to pay whatever rates Shaw set. Telus PureFibre has made inroads, but the duopoly still controls the market. The result? Cable TV bills that have climbed over 40% in five years, locking families and households into expensive bundles with channels they never watch.
StreamIPTV breaks that lock-in entirely. As a streaming IPTV service, StreamIPTV uses your existing internet connection — Shaw, Telus, Rogers, TekSavvy, or any other ISP — to deliver over 40,000 live channels, 120,000+ on-demand movies and TV series, and every major Canadian sports broadcast. There's no new infrastructure to install, no technician visit, no 2-year contract, and no bundled landline you don't need.
For Calgary families specifically, the savings are dramatic. The average Calgary household on Shaw cable TV pays 97 CAD per month for a standard TV package, before equipment rental fees, HD fees, and the inevitable annual rate increase. StreamIPTV delivers the same — and far more — for as low as 44.99 CAD per month. That's not a promotional price that balloons after 3 months. That's the actual price you pay.
Calgary is a young, tech-savvy city with a booming population. The city added over 50,000 new residents in 2023 alone, many of them young families and working professionals who stream everything and question why anyone still pays for traditional cable. The IPTV adoption rate in Alberta is growing faster than the national average, and Calgary leads that charge. StreamIPTV is built to serve this audience: fast activation, modern app support across all devices, and a content library deep enough to replace cable entirely.
Whether you're in Beltline, Bridgeland, Kensington, or out in Airdrie and Cochrane — StreamIPTV delivers the same premium experience. Calgary's geographic spread (the largest land area of any Canadian city) has never been a barrier for IPTV, because it works over your existing internet rather than cable infrastructure. If you have an internet connection, you have access to everything StreamIPTV offers.
Local channels matter to Calgarians. local TV network, public broadcaster, national broadcaster, and Shaw TV's community channel are all included. So is the full sports channel 1–4 and regional sports channel suite, and every channel you need for local hockey games during hockey season. There's no downgrade in local content — you gain access to more.
The 24-hour free trial requires no credit card and gives you immediate access to the full service. Try it tonight during a local hockey team game or a local TV network news broadcast. If it works — and it will — subscribe for as little as 44.99 CAD and never look at a Shaw invoice again.
