  Mr. Premier, the mega project is being severely hampered by very poor or nonexistent cel coverage in rural SK. It hurts daily productivity & could mean life or death for one of us if we need emergency services. What's your take? @CarlaBeckSK @evanbrayshow @SaskTel

  @tammyrobert Wait, what? SaskTel should be in SERIOUS trouble over this. I remember back in 2019 dealing with SaskTel because my sister was paying my cellphone bill. I wanted her to be able to have access to my account, so I asked SaskTel how to go about it. (1/2)

  @SaskTelSupport — hi there, do you have representatives from Sasktel out in Swift Current today regarding updating/upgrading the internet due to service complaints? Just want to make sure this isn’t a scam!

  @SaskTelSupport @tmccann14 @SaskTel Don’t feel bad I live in Asquith and we don’t have in reliable in buiding coverage. I have to use WIFI to make and recieve calls. The tower is located out of town. It didn’t work in Meadow Lake, Loon Lake or Goodsoil until they put towers right in town. I was A TST for 38 years.

  🚨 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.
