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

  @nationalpost @financialpost Sinking billions of our tax dollars into a bubble just before it bursts isn't what Canadians want, take that money and create a public telecom like SaskTel to give Canadians a better option than the high priced garbage we get from the big 3.

  Poll:@MyAccessCA or @sasktel for TV/internet? Access came & did something with our TV/internet while I was @ work yesterday (w/o us knowing until they called/showed up). Haven't had service since-2pm. Tech window is between now & 9pm tonight so can't complete work from home...

  Please be aware that not all of these communities have been directly impacted by the fires themselves, or are currently under threat of wildfire. In some cases, SaskTel transport facility damage has led to these outages. #skoutage

  Anyone 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.

  @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.

  @sasktel I am very disappointed in our cell service in the Oungre/Beaubier area. Ever since the 5g tower has been installed the cell coverage has been absolutely horrible. You have to stop on the road to make a call work! As I write this I have to be on star link! #sasktel
