  @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?

  SaskTel is aware of the issue and are working on a solution. Once service has been restored, we can provide an update. We do not have an estimated time for restoration of full phone service. 2/2

  @DouglasPollitt While I 💯 agree there is a ton of anti-competition stuff, I haven’t been able pin down what says they HAVE TO report scores. Does CBC? Local news? Do newspapers? (it bugs me that OS didn’t prove their case by getting on Cogeco, SaskTel, Videotron etc. Would’ve been faster)

  @PremierScottMoe let me guess? you want to implement digital ID to enforce it. I would cancel my sasktel in a heartbeat

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat Wait for an inferior service when its needed right now? You're a ****** joke; telesat will be 3x more expensive and way lower quality, while most likely piggybacking off starlink anyways.

  @SaskTel Well, I appreciate your reply. I know it's only lip service. I've been talking to Sasktel about this for years. Our complaints simply aren't going to cause you to build more towers or upgrade current ones. That's the only fix for this.

  @QueenYeenLuna @dollaballers @twistedleafs People travelled from the far north just to watch bedard play, the sasktel could easily sell out but the problem is no NHL player would wanna live in Saskatchewan

  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
