How far south does "Shanwick Control"

Forgive my ignorance, but,
Who controls the mid - south atlantic regions in ATC terms. Is it "Shanwick?". I flew down to BGI for the cricket a couple of weeks ago and it crossed my mind that we were heading straight down the middle of the atlantic..ish. While we're at it is there a version of "Shanwick" for the pacific too?

Have a look here at Planning Charts. The North Atlantic one is a bit cluttered but you can discern the boundaries.

For the Pacific it's Oakland from the west coast of the US to south of Alaska to about 165 E down to Port Moresby and back east to Tahiti. There used to be unclaimed airspace (No FIR) west of South America, you'd think someone would set up an antenna and start billing people for flying through "their" airspace.

Only worth it if enough people actually fly though there!
