  @ExnerPirot CO-OP is more expensive than non cooperative competition although it is often the only store in many rural towns. Sasktel is also notoriously unreliable despite having a monopoly on cell towers. We have starlink at home & in the cars to make up for Sasktel’s lack of service

  @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!

  @LeafandThistle I had that happen the spring of 1998. The WO at Line Training in Kingston invited me to instruct the QL3 line crse. Had to turn him down, as I was hired full time permanent at SaskTel as a lineman. Went to a Class A soldier from that point on.

  Why did my @SaskTel internet just cut out? Anyone else east side of Saskatoon? 🤔

  Because Ghu knows I'm getting at least a dozen messages a week from people claiming to be my bank, the CRA, Sasktel, Fedex, and a host of others. Official government email often gets dumped automatically by the spam filter and I never see them. Then it's deleted 30 days later.

  @PremierScottMoe your budget should have put @sasktel in its place for being a degenerate crown Corp and charging service users more while they get services reduced.

  10:45 PM: A planned SaskTel outage will occur on March 11, from midnight to approximately 6:00 a.m., while crews complete permanent fibre repairs related to last year’s wildfire damage. During this window, Internet, wireless, and landline (home and business) services will be unavailable across multiple Northeast Saskatchewan communities, including Sandy Bay, Brabant Lake, Geikie River, Wollaston Lake, Black Lake, Key Lake, McArthur River, Cigar Lake, Collins Bay, Stony Rapids, and Fond‑du‑Lac. This work is necessary to repair the damage and ensure the long‑term reliability of services in the area. SaskTel apologizes for any inconvenience this outage may cause and thanks customers for their patience while crews complete the work as quickly as possible. In the event of an emergency, residents in and around these communities will need to physically contact their nearest emergency services for assistance. #skoutage

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

  I wonder if I even need to switch my cell phone provider from @SaskTel to @TELUS or @bell when I move to BC. Coverage might be an issue, otherwise, does it even matter if I keep a saskie number?
