  @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)

  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

  @SaskTelSupport - I cannot wait for my #MaxTV contract to expire with y'all. @ShawTVSaskatoon had their faults, but they never f**ked me over like @SaskTel has been doing to me. SO #unprofessional! 👎👎

  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.

  @Prominent_Bryan Sounds great but it will probably just result in more bad decisions. For example, the Sask Party and trying to sell off Sasktel to balance the budget like a bunch of retards.

  @SaskTel Isn’t there something you can do on your end to block these obvious scam messages versus putting it on us? Other providers have tech in place to help with this.
