  Cody Lobreau - BeerCrank.ca (@cdnbeer) reported 30 minutes ago from Brandon, Manitoba

  @Drofmab @VancityReynolds @Mintmobile Minot network was overwhelmed so I would roam on Verizon (a first for me, they relied on Sasktel’s old style network until recently). I have a work discount for roaming so it was slightly cheaper to use my regular phone than esim, but I had the mint to test out

  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...

  Just thinking out loud…how nice would it be to head down for supper before walking to an arena for a playoff hockey game. Wouldn’t work cause not enough parking for 4 vehicles at the restaurant. Oh well. Now time to join everyone on a bus to Sasktel center. @cityofsaskatoon

  @emmagmay @Rogers Roger’s is horrible. We had Shaw fit fibre which wasn’t great but Rogers is WAY WAY WAY worse. Switching to Sasktel ASAP!

  @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 👍🇨🇦👍

  And all 3 also operate under their own names So you got a total of 9 different carriers, but in reality it's actually 3 Videotron, Freedom, and Sasktel are the only independent cell providers in Canada There was MTS (Manitoba Telecom Service) but Bell took them over in 2017

  @hamiltondw2 @bsproat @ctvregina This is them admitting they can not properly service rural Sask. So I like it for that ! But why on earth would I ever pay Sasktel for starlink.

  @TheTorontoSun SaskTel is the reason Saskatchewan residents have the lowest telecom bills in the country, and you're talking as if a national Crown Corp doing the same thing would be bad for working Canadians?

  @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.

  @TKeeps @JBMcAdams I am sorry to hear you're having trouble with the coverage. Borders are difficult to cover as SaskTel faces all towers inward and cannot have our cell footprint spill across the border which can cause fringe zones where boosters may be needed for less than ideal coverage
