  @LaserAud @C_Classiques What is going to be the state of your network in 10 years without federal government billions...because it will happen...the federal government needs to cut everywhere. How many billions did the fédéral government spent on fiber? For Canada, likely in the 100 billion range the last 5 years. This is not going to happen again. Starlink is already a player...nearly 12 millions subscribers...from 6 last year... and projections is 200 millions by 2036...I say more in the billion range. What happens when it's cheaper to have a satellite antenna then fiber...it's already that in Montréal. I would have subscribed to it if it wasn't for the heavy tree cover over my house... this will be resolved with more satellites...they are launching them every couple of days. The v3 satellite is 100 times more powerful than v2mini...they have 10,000 v2 in orbit and project to have 1,000,000 v3 by 2036...if starship works of course...which it will. How does sasktel pay for the upgrades and repairs to their costly network? For that matter how does Bell and the other player do it? The answer is that they can't. I get it that you are a big fan of sasktel and you think that they will be able to compete...they will for a.time but not on the long term...none of the networks are. Good luck!

  @TKeeps @JBMcAdams I am sorry to hear you're having trouble with the coverage. Borders are difficult to cover as SaskTel faces all towers inward and cannot have our cell footprint spill across the border which can cause fringe zones where boosters may be needed for less than ideal coverage

  @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.

  Please be aware that not all of these communities have been directly impacted by the fires themselves, or are currently under threat of wildfire. In some cases, SaskTel transport facility damage has led to these outages. #skoutage

  @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

  @ExnerPirot @BramRecorder I agree, our prices in SK are in the ball park, if not a little higher. What Sasktel does do is invest more in infrastructure for our vast rural areas than regular providers would. I'm OK to pay a "little" more for that and we support them for that reason.

  @ExnerPirot @JeffCallaway Sasktel is a terrible example. A government monopoly more wasteful and less accountable than a private regulated option.

  @sasktel is part of the reason SK families are so broke. The crown Corp is broken and needs to be put back in its place by @PremierScottMoe that means taking a step back to your roots of providing a valuable service at an affordable price, not gouging sk families.
