Recently I started a web space on Shaw and was surprised to see at the bottom of the page, advertising . This was for Shaw and was not run past me if I wanted it or not , My question is .

Is it the suppliers right to do this even though I pay them to supply the service I am on . Most blog spots I have gone on do not have it , and those that do let you run it or chose it .

I guess if the space is provided free of charge they are entitled. If your agreement with Shaw includes web space best check the fine print. They may be within their rights.

If the ads annoy you suggest using another blog host. Blogger is a good host and there are no ads there as far as I know. At least not on my blog.

I agree, blogger is a good host. The only ads that will appear on your site are the ones you allow by signing up with adsense or someone like that...

It is just the point that they are paid for what they are giving you and ads seem to be above that. I also use blogger and they seem to be able to do it no ads as you say. It is a small point just Goliath telling me what they can do and it seems wrong they are paid for their service .

There is that, Pav, but I suspect Google (who owns Blogger) have deeper pockets than Shaw...

Not being a "numbers" guy (and far too lazy to look it up) I can't verify that statement, but if that were the case, Google could better afford to "give away" ad-free web space than Shaw.

But I do agree, if your agreement with Shaw includes web space, it should be ad-free as you are paying for the service.
