  @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.

  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.

  @cselley There does exist in several iterations, what he describes. Co-op is an example, higher per item price with an equitable profit share There is Sasktel as a government owned service provider. Less customer service, higher prices, zero profit motivation.

  🚨 SaskTel partners with Starlink to boost connectivity for rural businesses SaskTel has formed a strategic partnership with Starlink to deliver high-speed business internet services across Saskatchewan. Effective April 1, 2026, the province’s crown corporation will manage installation, equipment purchases, and billing in-house for qualifying rural businesses holding a valid GST number. This initiative directly supports small farms, mines, and forestry operations in areas where traditional fibre or broadband infrastructure remains costly and slow to deploy. Existing Starlink Business customers can switch to SaskTel billing at no charge, allowing them to consolidate services seamlessly. The move represents a meaningful advancement in closing the connectivity gap for rural Saskatchewan enterprises.

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

  @forsyth_barb Had the same problem with our city water come to think of it. But they at least phoned me to ask. For some reason that month Sasktel said all their email was spam.

  And I did contact SaskTel support - they were not aware of any recent issues. Family members are receiving phishing emails this eeek.

  What's going on with @SaskTel ? I have been on hold for IBC support for an hour and 15 mins already. Our business cant get any incoming calls from SaskTel customers - I had a Bell customer call in and the call was OK.
