  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.

  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 has ripped off SK residents for years now. Price hikes and service cuts has been the norm for too long! Time for action @PremierScottMoe fire the top brass and reduce rates for customers of this essential service provider!!!

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat That's what I expect from someone living in a city who is not using Rural internet Providers! As an IT & Cybersecurity Company that supports travel and works across Canada there is nothing as easy and that works as well as Starlink. From Africa to Canada! There are ways to secure data beyond your ISP, if people are not using that they should be. Telesat has been promising their solution for 5 years now, 4 Billion in Taxpayers money and still no testing. Amazon Leo is testing but is also US based.

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat Wait for an inferior service when its needed right now? You're a ****** joke; telesat will be 3x more expensive and way lower quality, while most likely piggybacking off starlink anyways.

  @EvanLSolomon Sinking billions of our tax dollars into fueling this bubble just before it pops is grossly irresponsible when you could use that money to create a national public telecom like SaskTel to give Canadians better service and pricing than what the big 3 offer.

  @DemosKratosCA SaskTel outcompetes the big telcos, and pays the profits to the government. Though I'm Albertan. I spend a lot of time in Saskatchewan, people here seem pretty satisfied with SGI and SaskPower as well, even though they are monopolies, unlike SaskTel. Government run isn't always bad, just usually.

  @alexmarz @SaskTel It would be a dumb move. If I switch to a free email, there's no reason to stay with SaskTel. I can take a 'new customer' deal from any ISP.

  On March 25, 2026 - Crews will be completing scheduled maintenance on the satellite network that supports SaskTel Landline Phone services (Home Phone and Business Phone) in Kinoosao. The outage is expected to last approximately 8 hours. The exact timing of the service interruption cannot be confirmed in advance. During the outage, residents who require emergency assistance should physically contact another person for help or visit your nearest health clinic or RCMP detachment. SaskTel apologizes for any inconvenience this service interruption may cause and thanks customers for their patience while the work is completed. #skoutage
