  @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.

  @globeandmail There's a reason Saskatchewan through NDP and Saskatchewan Party governments has seen the value of keeping SaskTel going. It may be the only way to actually keep prices down for consumers. It's unlikely the big 3 will do so. They'll just keep buying up the competition. 2/2

  Internet & cellular connectivity isn’t a luxury. It’s an essential service. And an economic opportunity for rural, FN & northern communities. From SARM, to APAS to FN leaders leaders are united. We’re calling on Sask. Party to enable SaskTel to invest to make it happen.

  @BeautifulRed7 @Sask_NDP @SaskTel We just got high speed in my town. We didn't have more than 5mb download speed. Finally have 10, I think? Enough for online school and video. I'll pay more to have better service. I can't afford it, but I'll make it work.

  @drsusanshaw @CodieneC @SaskTel It's a pain and I suppose people can't do this because of personal and business dealings but I have quit answering my phone. I have instructed people to text me first unless it's an emergency. The rest, they can leave a message.

  Before plugging your phone in, turn on airplane mode (found in settings). This will disconnect your device from SaskTel’s network, but greatly increase your charge time as your device will not be using the extra battery to keep your phone connected.

  @tammyrobert Wait. Just wait. I had to look this up. SaskTel's cell service started in 1989. Romanow and Calvert (91-2003). The claim is that during foundational years, there were no cell towers built? 21 years since the NDP's been in. Why the sweet hell is this a talking point?

  @AnnexAgro @SpaceXStarlink @elonmusk When I add my up and down together I barely get to 1/3 of your up. Latency is about the same but there's simply no comparison to the bandwidth. That's the best SaskTel can do out here but even in the city their best won't be anywhere close to those numbers. Not even close.

  @SaskTel Mine is not working well. Unable to put my log in as it would not pop up the keyboard. Buffer a lot. Am in swift current and not a good media box.

  @SaskTel I live rural, and don't have Sasktel internet, but do have fast service through my ISP. Can I still use maxtv stream?
