  @SaskTelSupport FALSE! I’m in Dundonald still affected by this outage, going on almost 5 days with no services. Sasktel technical service said no ETA on fix. Told me my neighbourhood was marked fixed and no technicians available until tomorrow evening. Home business owner here pretty frustrated!

  @sasktel I love my Infinet 1G plan but am interested in faster. I get this means swapping out my customer equipment and as such this is probably a large undertaking from your end. Just wanted to throw it out there that I'd love more.

  @tammyrobert @SaskTel What really kills me with SaskTel though is their employees' assertion that no private company would provide service in rural SK (which they don't, either). Access, RFNow, one of the satellite companies Xplornet provide internet in rural SK.

  Hey @SaskTelSupport @SaskTel, might want to remind service vehicle 331 MKW what a 30 zone means! I slowed down on McCarthy for it, they swerved around, flew past! Didn’t even help them as we ended up side by side at the next light! #SlowDown #ConstructionZone

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

  10:45 PM: A planned SaskTel outage will occur on March 11, from midnight to approximately 6:00 a.m., while crews complete permanent fibre repairs related to last year’s wildfire damage. During this window, Internet, wireless, and landline (home and business) services will be unavailable across multiple Northeast Saskatchewan communities, including Sandy Bay, Brabant Lake, Geikie River, Wollaston Lake, Black Lake, Key Lake, McArthur River, Cigar Lake, Collins Bay, Stony Rapids, and Fond‑du‑Lac. This work is necessary to repair the damage and ensure the long‑term reliability of services in the area. SaskTel apologizes for any inconvenience this outage may cause and thanks customers for their patience while crews complete the work as quickly as possible. In the event of an emergency, residents in and around these communities will need to physically contact their nearest emergency services for assistance. #skoutage

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat lol, no one should have to wait for Carney’s incompetent buddies to supply internet which may never exist

  @ctvregina not sure if it’s you or @SaskTel but your signal is not working!

  @Tori_TLCR @financialpost Time for SaskTel to go national. Without them in our market, prices would be MUCH higher. They are immune to shareholder pressure for unchecked profit. They are here to provide an essential service. The "free market" wouldn't stand a chance.
