  @Greg_Insightag If it goes bad for her, sasktel cell coverage could go to hell!!

  @Murse759 I’m not entirely sure, why the big difference between SGI and ICBC. Perhaps coverage levels? Also if I’m not mistaken the profits from SGI Canada subsidize their provincial rates. I lived in Sask for five years and really enjoyed the service from both Sasktel and SGI.

  @SaskTelSupport Wow, thanks Sasktel for providing no reason for this outage. Come on people. I'm a home-based business and I get that things happen, but this was terrible public relations.

  @SaskTel increasing phishing and spam since you contracted out your email service. Come on - you CAN DO BETTER. Was better when you hosted things yourself - filters were effective!! Tired of the spam getting through!!!

  @SaskTelSupport - I cannot wait for my #MaxTV contract to expire with y'all. @ShawTVSaskatoon had their faults, but they never f**ked me over like @SaskTel has been doing to me. SO #unprofessional! 👎👎

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat That's what I expect from someone living in a city who is not using Rural internet Providers! As an IT & Cybersecurity Company that supports travel and works across Canada there is nothing as easy and that works as well as Starlink. From Africa to Canada! There are ways to secure data beyond your ISP, if people are not using that they should be. Telesat has been promising their solution for 5 years now, 4 Billion in Taxpayers money and still no testing. Amazon Leo is testing but is also US based.

  @DemosKratosCA SaskTel outcompetes the big telcos, and pays the profits to the government. Though I'm Albertan. I spend a lot of time in Saskatchewan, people here seem pretty satisfied with SGI and SaskPower as well, even though they are monopolies, unlike SaskTel. Government run isn't always bad, just usually.

  @TerryLazarou @CityofRegina @SaskTel We need more canvasses for people who feel the need to spray paint things. As long as there's nothing hateful they can be a staple in a neighbourhood. I worked for a convenience store that paid to have a mural done and every other customer came in to tell me we were being tagged

  @SaskTel A line of yours is down in our alley. I tried calling to report it but your auto system keeps hanging up on me. I guess you don't want to know when repair is required.

  @ExnerPirot CO-OP is more expensive than non cooperative competition although it is often the only store in many rural towns. Sasktel is also notoriously unreliable despite having a monopoly on cell towers. We have starlink at home & in the cars to make up for Sasktel’s lack of service

  This is a terrible decision for Canadian privacy and internet sovereignty. @sasktel should wait for @Telesat #skpoli
