Retentions will offer the best deals with very little to no haggling

~$50-$60 for 1Gbps is pretty common sometimes often credits thrown in. Has been the same process for years now - lots of discussion of RFD
That's what I was considering on doing, but I wanted a legitimate option that I'd legitimately consider to avoid them calling my bluff. Wife's ire is scarier.

A few of the option mentioned do seem enticing though and maybe in the future I'd consider them just to avoid the Shawgers sale people. If Shaw doesn't attempt to beat their offers, then I have no loyalty to them at all.

The $90 offer and then the gaslighting from the lady saying they had offered $100 so her $95 per month offer was really good really pissed me off though. She revealed they have notes on the account, knew they were badgering me and when they were calling me, but still tried to lie to my face about what they were offering.
