  @SaskTel A line of yours is down in our alley. I tried calling to report it but your auto system keeps hanging up on me. I guess you don't want to know when repair is required.

  @conorsvan1 ICBC isn’t twice as expensive as Alberta lmao, it’s usually cheaper. And SGI is the cheapest insurance in Canada. Sasktel is the best telecom company in Canada and drives down the other big 3’s prices in Saskatchewan. A public option is absolutely a good thing for esssntials.

  @bgdoane @SaskTel On a neighbors farm you can see the cell tower 6 miles straight north and they have no service in their yard. It's not going to be long until we all will be using starlink phones and cell towers will go the way of the party line IMO

  @BShane555 @NoGunsInCanada The only thing stopping Moe from selling off Sasktel (one of the very few remaining crown corporations), is that no one wants to by a phone company with less than a million subscribers in a service area covering 650,000 sq km.

  @bgdoane @SaskTel Bandwidth was a problem when I was in the patch, but I haven't been in the field for 15-20 years.

  @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

  @FrankP9915 @JohnRustad4BC This isn't true. Canada has similar problems as US healthcare does post Covid. Private telecoms have the worst service. Sasktel at least has far superior service and prices to that of Bell, Telus, etc.

  Starlink made deal with Sasktel,a crown corp. Sasktel will manage account and can demand service cancelled. Sounds to me like a foundation for a blackout if Sask rise up against the gov. Know this, We can still deal with Starlink direct and bypass the Crown for now. see 👀👇
