  @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.

  @TerryLazarou @CityofRegina @SaskTel Yeah I wasn't trying to hijack the thread just getting at the root of the issue. The double standard definitely exists.

  This is a terrible decision for Canadian privacy and internet sovereignty. @sasktel should wait for @Telesat #skpoli

  On March 18, crews will be completing scheduled maintenance on the satellite network that supports SaskTel Landline Phone services (Home Phone and Business Phone) in Uranium City. As a result of this work, SaskTel Landline services will be unavailable for approximately eight hours in and around the community. While crews will work to complete the maintenance as quickly as possible, the exact timing of the service interruption and restoration cannot be confirmed in advance.

  @SharonASR @saskatoonGord If anything, they could take the new arena money and improve accessibility to and from SaskTel Centre - as that's been the biggest issue with that location. And they'd have money left over to use for things that are of higher priority in our city.

  @TheTorontoSun SaskTel is the reason Saskatchewan residents have the lowest telecom bills in the country, and you're talking as if a national Crown Corp doing the same thing would be bad for working Canadians?

  @carytarasoffyxe @LaraFominoff Lies, dam lies and statistics. When someone set fire to a mattress in the alley and burned down a power pole, the SaskTel Repair Team explained that it was arson. I contacted the police to offer my CCTV footage with the start time, I was told it was a wiring fault. Hilarious!

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

  @SaskTelSupport @SaskTel So wouldn’t you think that service should be better because it’s sparce incase you need to contact someone! Phone is not the problem!! There’s always talk of all the new 5G upgrades and we don’t even have service!

  @SaskTel increasing phishing and spam since you contracted out your email service. Come on - you CAN DO BETTER. Was better when you hosted things yourself - filters were effective!! Tired of the spam getting through!!!
