  Shady Kurtinz|Kurt ******* '86|Zerø|Eazy K (@AntiMisogynistG) reported 6 minutes ago

  Zerø was the name I would eventually go by if we had the cybernetic society that was filled with bad data infecting systems and threatening to take over the whole system. The system will be in place, the first step was the Shaw and SaskTel WiFi hotspots.

  @sask_trucker_ @SaskTel Spend some time in Manitoba and you will never complain about service again. Even our landline is useless. Landline hasn’t worked for over a month yet we still get a bill.

  @sasktel what’s with the no service today along last mountain lake. SaskBeach can’t send or receive texts and dropping calls. Country Thunder is in a week. This happens every year at this time

  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

  Some might say… (@paulbeit) reported 21 minutes ago

  @Critter_Paths @RebelNewsOnline Oh gosh…ya…I’ve been doing this for 30 years…building switching centers, to central offices/and now Data Centers and supporting/installing/upgrading/planning/budgeting/building these projects and all the “wires” on poles, towers and in holes - all over 🇨🇦. Built networks for Bell, Roger’s, Telus, Cogeco, Videotron, Eastlink, SaskTel, NRBN, NFTC, C3Telecon, Sogetel……I can go on. Here is the scoop on Data Centers. Yes, DC’s take a ton of energy in the form of electricity and some “do” water. Not all are built the same. For context a simple (small) 50,000 square foot DC - can provide service to approximately 30M people globally again on today’s AI standards. This DC, again for example, can create over 3 to 7m in tax revenue per year for any community (and way more for the feds could get some DST from the 🌎. So this DC, for context, sits in a Dollar Store size building……and delivers a huge boost to the locals….to build that they employed over 200 part time and now hire 50 people to manage it daily…the 200 that built this, build the next - a team a crew, and they get way more $ after every gig….talk to me….I fly around talking about this. I think we have a better job to do in communicating the overall business, environment, economic, and social aspects of them….I have work to do….but Canada is cold, has a ton of land, resources, and a ton of access to global fiber connectivity. If not, I’ll install it with all my friends 👍🇨🇦👍

  @ctvsaskatoon Great work to all involved! Rather than asking if and when it should be built they had us fighting over who “funds it”. They forced this along because the RICH in Saskatoon benefit. Not you, never you! You just pay for their wealth! No act is avoiding us because of Sasktel Ctr

  @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.
