  I went with Sasktel for internet; for some reason. I went with "Max TV Stream" to get TV and Internet. Slow, absolute garbage UI. Can't watch two shows at the same time in two different rooms without both TVs having a fit over bandwidth use. You can keep your ugly IPTV service.

  @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

  @bgdoane @SaskTel Their Sasktel max doesn't even work on the fiber optic lines they put into towns. Ours always loses signal. May as well have stayed with the ****** dish

  Hey @SaskTel I'm extremely fed up with all of the spam in my email, spouse is also fed up. Spam problem is getting worse instead of better. Prices for services rise and the product remains substandard.

  @WapWes @SaskTelSupport @SaskTel We were told we live in the middle of 2 towers, the worst spot to be! We have to run to a window if someone phones out cells phones while we are in the house. We keep our landline because cell service is so ******, we are on a farm and have wifi but that doesn’t help phone calls.

  @TKeeps @JBMcAdams I am sorry to hear you're having trouble with the coverage. Borders are difficult to cover as SaskTel faces all towers inward and cannot have our cell footprint spill across the border which can cause fringe zones where boosters may be needed for less than ideal coverage

  And all 3 also operate under their own names So you got a total of 9 different carriers, but in reality it's actually 3 Videotron, Freedom, and Sasktel are the only independent cell providers in Canada There was MTS (Manitoba Telecom Service) but Bell took them over in 2017

  @JBMcAdams @SaskTel At our farm by Churchbridge, we are at a complete dead spot for cell service. Have to keep our landline for this reason, and StarLink is the only internet provider that actually gets a signal.

  @fanCRTCProfling Some of that will be remote locations. Land costs should actually be lower than average because the towers are going up on cheap or free land. (ie. White Fox tower went up on Sasktel's lot it already owned for the service shed) So that makes it even more suspect.

  @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.
