Aaron J Spence (@ajspe) reported from Birsay, Saskatchewan@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.

Kevin Hayes (@kevinhayesca) reportedI wonder if I even need to switch my cell phone provider from @SaskTel to @TELUS or @bell when I move to BC. Coverage might be an issue, otherwise, does it even matter if I keep a saskie number?

XCorpHub (@XCorpHub) reported🚨 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.

Elfer (@ClassicElfer) reported@jerik22 @Ryan_r_Williams This is the line the big telcos use, but it doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Before sasktel was bought out, they were somehow able to offer lower prices than they offered in much more densely populated provinces, in order to compete with the publicly-owned service.

Tyrone Allen McKenzi (@HoBombadillo) reported@SaskTel Your internet sucks so bad. We have the 5G option and can’t even stream the Super Bowl properly. What a joke

Matt Yanick (@MYPrecisionAg) reportedAnyone else with a Sasktel phone having issues when crossing from Sask to Manitoba and have to reset phone after crossing border for calls and texts to work? Have had to do this for quite some time now, shows full service but does not allow any calls to come in or texts.

Jabberwocky (@JabberwockyP) reported@SassBot69 @RomeTimed @theJagmeetSingh Yeah. However, it wasn't just SaskTel and MTS that offered those prices. Rogers, Bell, and Telus matched. So that leaves 2 possibilities. Either they lost money on providing service there for that price (gouging the rest of us to make up for it) or it was still profitable.

Kevin in Canada (@kevin_incanada) reported@DemosKratosCA SaskTel outcompetes the big telcos, and pays the profits to the government. Though I'm Albertan. I spend a lot of time in Saskatchewan, people here seem pretty satisfied with SGI and SaskPower as well, even though they are monopolies, unlike SaskTel. Government run isn't always bad, just usually.

Mark Firemoon (@MFiremoon) reported@kirkrussell4 @flipkoin2 Lüm mobile runs on Bell's network outside of Saskatchewan, but the profits go back to the provincially owned, SaskTel. Support the people of Saskatchewan who kept public ownership.

Eternal Blue Six (@EternalBlueSix) reported@mdrozduik @therealballsy I lived in Regina from '06 to '12 and attended many events at the Brandt Centre. Was never as bad as trying to leave SaskTel Centre. I guess we "experienced it differently" lol
