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

  @SaskTelSupport Any updates for Warman services? SaskTel is quite simply the worst internet service provider out there. At very least we should see a credit on our bill, since @SaskTel gouges customers any chance they get.

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

  @Latenite72 @frank_seravalli Lol no ****. I’m just saying you said you were at the game but posted a picture at the Sasktel centre when the game tonight is played in Regina.

  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

  @MelissaLMRogers @TELUSsupport It's a monopoly. Just like grocery. Everything has been monopolized. There's no competition to drive it down. Saskatchewan I believe has cheaper prices because sasktel is competition

  Love seeing all the hot takes about "if you think leaving SaskTel Centre is bad wait until we have to try and leave a downtown arena!" Aren't there are many many routes out of downtown rather than one bottlenecked parking lot?

  @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.

  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.

  @bgdoane @SaskTel Their Sasktel max doesn't even work on the fiber optic lines they put into towns. Ours always loses signal. May as well have stayed with the ****** dish
