Is Sasktel having an outage?

SaskTel had issues at their head end, which have been resolved. They are performing scheduled testing today so there may be further temporary issues.

@CBCAlerts Huawei offers cheap hardware. It's appealing when trying to build a service network over a geographically large area (i.e. CANADA!) It's why they are used by Sasktel. While they might be a cheap option, the security concerns they bring means they are not worth the "savings".

Haven’t missed a payment in 5 years and up until recently I had 5 phones in my name. I missed two ******* payments and they cut me off. “We put a note on your bill” COOL BUT EBILLING DOESNT WORK YOU INCOMPETENT *****. @SaskTel

Definitely switching service providers once my contract is up. **** @SaskTel

Cell service is mediocre at best out here @SaskTel

@canadianeqanon @SaskTel @Xplornet 😳 that's so bad

@canadianeqanon @SaskTel We have the Sasktel version of it, works the exact same way off a tower. It's horrible, but my parents have explorenet and it's actually worse. I'm doing everything off LTE right now, which is working fine and it's off the same damn tower as my wifi 😡

@ryanmeili Glad to see this issue raised. SaskTel Store staff were oblivious to it when I explained why I didn't want a Huawei phone. Said they were very popular. I acknowledged great camera but greater security issues.

SaskTel continues to monitor their system after yesterdays outage. Details at 8:30 with GX94 News.

It appears that SaskTel is having issues with phone numbers across SK. If you call the school and it rings as busy or it beeps and disconnects, please know that SaskTel is working on it.

We are currently experiencing these same problems with our phone lines. Sasktel is currently working on fixing the problem.

@SaskTelSupport In Ontario and can’t call a Sk landline but can call to cell with SaskTel cell number. Also another cell phone on Bell network can’t call either landline or cell numbers.

@SaskTel seems to be some service outages in Moosomin area. Unable to call out to a cell number from a landline.

A release from @SaskatoonPolice this morning re: phone lines. Also hearing from SaskTel about phone issues this morning.

@yknot05 @Bell @Bell does have some pretty crummy customer service. They have some very deceiving data options too (pay more depending on how you use their website). Sucks because SaskTel is my only other REAL option and they'll never see a single red cent from me, speaking of crooks.

@TSNHelp I’m trying to sign into TSNgo on the app. But it won’t list all service providers. I’m trying to sign into Sasktel but it does not show up. When I sign in on a computer it works fine but the app doesn’t give me the Sasktel option.

Sasktel is currently experiencing issues with our MaxTVstream service. We do not have a time frame for the outage. Sasktel techniciams and the Vendor are working on a resolution #skoutage

@SaskTel so not happy with you right now. Could be a week from now before I get TV or internet service which I booked for install jan 4. But you are working 'quickly'. Very frustrating.

@M_Jackson72 I'm lucky that I'll be doing a ton of walking for 10 days at the end of January, but I want to stay in that habit when I get back. I'm down for a couple laps of the Sasktel Centre!

@SaskTelSupport I've been having completely terrible connections to several games (including World of Warcraft and Path of Exile) for the past 5 days and today I can't even play. Other Sasktel customers on reddit yesterday are also having poor quality internet.

I don't know about Sasktel, though. Last I heard it was still independent. So there goes the competition theory. Their plans aren't much different from QC however their options for Data are limited.

@SaskTelSupport @SaskTel why is cell service/internet sloooooow today

@jw4830 @rgstone1 @SaskTel Yup absolutely I just couldn’t believe how bad the service around Davidson was. I heard Rob complain but I had no idea it was as bad as it was. I now I hear that Rosetown sucks too!
