Secret new assessments say Iran has operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that its military remains far stronger than President Trump has asserted.

Okay, I realize that my experiences with Shawgers probably aren't typical based on what I've seen on the Shaw and especially the Rogers subreddits. But, I had another successful interaction with Shaw today.

I called just after 9 AM MDT to see what kind of deal I could get if I renewed my internet value plan that expires in July early. I got through to a very pleasant and knowledgeable agent after a couple of rings (of course, after the automated telephony routine). My request was to maintain what I currently have for the same price for another two years, which is 500 Mbps at $60/mo. The best the agent could offer was 1GB for $70/mo. plus a $100 credit. I don't need 1GB but I thought the offer was win-win. I have noticed that when I'm streaming on two TVs (Xfinity boxes connected to my Shaw internet service, not the Shaw IPTV modem), surfing on my Macbook seems to slow down. Maybe the 1GB will be helpful for this scenario.

The upgrade to 1GB occurred while I was still on the phone with the agent. Yes, maybe I could have gotten the same or even a better deal if I had waited to closer to the expiry date or switched providers after expiry (and then be enticed back by Shawgers) but I'm totally okay with this outcome.

The best offer I could get when logged into the Shawgers portal was $80 for 500 Mbps and $85 for 1GB with no one-time credit.
