  Love seeing all the hot takes about "if you think leaving SaskTel Centre is bad wait until we have to try and leave a downtown arena!" Aren't there are many many routes out of downtown rather than one bottlenecked parking lot?

  @SaskTel @TKeeps So if no one can cross the border we all just go without service ? What’s the point

  10:45 PM: A planned SaskTel outage will occur on March 11, from midnight to approximately 6:00 a.m., while crews complete permanent fibre repairs related to last year’s wildfire damage. During this window, Internet, wireless, and landline (home and business) services will be unavailable across multiple Northeast Saskatchewan communities, including Sandy Bay, Brabant Lake, Geikie River, Wollaston Lake, Black Lake, Key Lake, McArthur River, Cigar Lake, Collins Bay, Stony Rapids, and Fond‑du‑Lac. This work is necessary to repair the damage and ensure the long‑term reliability of services in the area. SaskTel apologizes for any inconvenience this outage may cause and thanks customers for their patience while crews complete the work as quickly as possible. In the event of an emergency, residents in and around these communities will need to physically contact their nearest emergency services for assistance. #skoutage

  I love how you pay for unlimited data with @SaskTel but they reduce you speed for “fair use”. How about you improve you network and let us use the data we are paying for.

  @Acadiegirl1755 Came here from Tristin's re-post of mine! I'm a Saskabusher also...my hubby & I have been with Lüm for a few years & love it. It cut our cell bill in more than half. It isn't a fit for everyone as it depends on how you most use it (cals/text/data etc) but you can do a cost calculator on their website to figure out if it's a benefit for you. They're technically owned by Sasktel but are a separate entity. One downside - all digital, tech support is via electronic messaging with a rep (a real person just no phones or stores), but the rare issue we have is still resolved quickly & easily. I got my mom on it too, saved her a ton also.

  Hey @SaskTel , if you gonna charge us 120$ a month for a cellphone plan how about fixing your ****** *** service. Why is my phone taking 10 mins to upload 1 picture? When no apps are open ... why is my phone taking 5 mins to update 1 app. Why are my Snapchat stories never loading

  @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

  @LaserAud @C_Classiques What is going to be the state of your network in 10 years without federal government billions...because it will happen...the federal government needs to cut everywhere. How many billions did the fédéral government spent on fiber? For Canada, likely in the 100 billion range the last 5 years. This is not going to happen again. Starlink is already a player...nearly 12 millions subscribers...from 6 last year... and projections is 200 millions by 2036...I say more in the billion range. What happens when it's cheaper to have a satellite antenna then fiber...it's already that in Montréal. I would have subscribed to it if it wasn't for the heavy tree cover over my house... this will be resolved with more satellites...they are launching them every couple of days. The v3 satellite is 100 times more powerful than v2mini...they have 10,000 v2 in orbit and project to have 1,000,000 v3 by 2036...if starship works of course...which it will. How does sasktel pay for the upgrades and repairs to their costly network? For that matter how does Bell and the other player do it? The answer is that they can't. I get it that you are a big fan of sasktel and you think that they will be able to compete...they will for a.time but not on the long term...none of the networks are. Good luck!
