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

  @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)

  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.

  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

  ~25 minutes ago, the Internet went down for me here; no info from @sasktel/@SaskTelSupport as to what occurred. It seems to be back now, so I'll attempt to start at 9:50 p.m. MDT. Sorry. 😑🙏🏻🎶

  Please be aware that not all of these communities have been directly impacted by the fires themselves, or are currently under threat of wildfire. In some cases, SaskTel transport facility damage has led to these outages. #skoutage
