  Starlink made deal with Sasktel,a crown corp. Sasktel will manage account and can demand service cancelled. Sounds to me like a foundation for a blackout if Sask rise up against the gov. Know this, We can still deal with Starlink direct and bypass the Crown for now. see 👀👇

  @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.

  @bgdoane @SaskTel Put your phone back to LTE/3G. We have to and it works much better. 5G is terrible here.

  @tmccann14 @SaskTel Hi Tanya. Thank you for the feedback. Actual speeds and coverage may vary due to the device being used, network congestion, distance from the cell site, and local conditions. Unfortunately there could be some spotty areas along highways where population is sparse as well.

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

  @WapWes @SaskTelSupport @SaskTel We were told we live in the middle of 2 towers, the worst spot to be! We have to run to a window if someone phones out cells phones while we are in the house. We keep our landline because cell service is so ******, we are on a farm and have wifi but that doesn’t help phone calls.
