  @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.

  Crews will continue to work on repairs to SaskTel’s fibre transport infrastructure throughout the weekend. However, there continues to be considerable risk for further interruptions to SaskTel Internet, Wireless and/or Landline (Home Phone and Business Phone) service due to ongoing fire activity and the nature of repairs involved.

  On March 18, crews will be completing scheduled maintenance on the satellite network that supports SaskTel Landline Phone services (Home Phone and Business Phone) in Uranium City. As a result of this work, SaskTel Landline services will be unavailable for approximately eight hours in and around the community. While crews will work to complete the maintenance as quickly as possible, the exact timing of the service interruption and restoration cannot be confirmed in advance.

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat No worse than any other internet provider.... its the content much more than the provider which is the issue.

  @SaskTel they want more money but when their product breaks or **** like that, or it’s not up to ***** and their Internet is crappy, they still want more money and they don’t do anything about it. I love, greedy companies, greedy, greedy companies.

  @Acadiegirl1755 Came here from Tristin's re-post of mine! I'm a Saskabusher also...my hubby & I have been with Lüm for a few years & love it. It cut our cell bill in more than half. It isn't a fit for everyone as it depends on how you most use it (cals/text/data etc) but you can do a cost calculator on their website to figure out if it's a benefit for you. They're technically owned by Sasktel but are a separate entity. One downside - all digital, tech support is via electronic messaging with a rep (a real person just no phones or stores), but the rare issue we have is still resolved quickly & easily. I got my mom on it too, saved her a ton also.

  Absolute **** show getting to Sasktel centre let alone parking at this @BladesHockey game. Not one @SPSTraffic controlling traffic flow. #goblades
