  @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!

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

  @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.

  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

  @DPWeatherald @LangbankPlayer 1. Ask yourself why the shape of the SaskTel cellular map hasn’t changed much in 10 years? They’ve built the network out to (more or less) where the people are. (Existing coverage has been densified to improve data. Eg 5G). /2

  @SaskTelSupport Sasktel announced this morning broadband to 48 more communities soon. Kind of a joke when you can’t even service the ones you got. Ie: Warman; over 24hrs with no service.

  Crews will continue to work on repairs to SaskTel’s fibre transport infrastructure throughout the weekend. However, there continues to be considerable risk for further interruptions to SaskTel Internet, Wireless and/or Landline (Home Phone and Business Phone) service due to ongoing fire activity and the nature of repairs involved.

  @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

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