  @BryceMorland1 @SaskTel @PremierScottMoe Once we got back to the cabin it was going across the television. But nothing on our phones. The cell tower gets overloaded at the lake in the summer and the service is terrible.

  @QueenYeenLuna @dollaballers @twistedleafs People travelled from the far north just to watch bedard play, the sasktel could easily sell out but the problem is no NHL player would wanna live in Saskatchewan

  @SaskTel Sasktel will trash your yard to install their non working infinit service that is laggy and always goes down.

  🚨 SaskTel partners with Starlink to boost connectivity for rural businesses SaskTel has formed a strategic partnership with Starlink to deliver high-speed business internet services across Saskatchewan. Effective April 1, 2026, the province’s crown corporation will manage installation, equipment purchases, and billing in-house for qualifying rural businesses holding a valid GST number. This initiative directly supports small farms, mines, and forestry operations in areas where traditional fibre or broadband infrastructure remains costly and slow to deploy. Existing Starlink Business customers can switch to SaskTel billing at no charge, allowing them to consolidate services seamlessly. The move represents a meaningful advancement in closing the connectivity gap for rural Saskatchewan enterprises.

  @SaskTel To prevent people from online scams perhaps you should do something with all the scam calls reported for tracing and shut down the scammers. A competent Sasktel should be able to do this. Since you seem to know how to threaten paying customers.

  @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.

  @SaskTel And without Starlink, this would have never happened.

  @jbomberag @SaskTel @davisinst I've had good luck with their support in the past as well. Because both of mine are doing the same thing and started at the same time, I'm thinking it's more of a network issue in this case.

  Is anyone else having issues with weather stations staying connected to cell coverage in Saskatchewan? I'm trying to figure out if it's an issue with @SaskTel or with the @Davisinst software.
