  @FrankP9915 @JohnRustad4BC This isn't true. Canada has similar problems as US healthcare does post Covid. Private telecoms have the worst service. Sasktel at least has far superior service and prices to that of Bell, Telus, etc.

  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.

  If you’re a student and have wifi through Sasktel, make sure you get your student number on file! I did it today and my bill was cut down significantly!

  @LaserAud @C_Classiques What is going to be the state of your network in 10 years without federal government billions...because it will happen...the federal government needs to cut everywhere. How many billions did the fédéral government spent on fiber? For Canada, likely in the 100 billion range the last 5 years. This is not going to happen again. Starlink is already a player...nearly 12 millions subscribers...from 6 last year... and projections is 200 millions by 2036...I say more in the billion range. What happens when it's cheaper to have a satellite antenna then fiber...it's already that in Montréal. I would have subscribed to it if it wasn't for the heavy tree cover over my house... this will be resolved with more satellites...they are launching them every couple of days. The v3 satellite is 100 times more powerful than v2mini...they have 10,000 v2 in orbit and project to have 1,000,000 v3 by 2036...if starship works of course...which it will. How does sasktel pay for the upgrades and repairs to their costly network? For that matter how does Bell and the other player do it? The answer is that they can't. I get it that you are a big fan of sasktel and you think that they will be able to compete...they will for a.time but not on the long term...none of the networks are. Good luck!

  @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!!!

  @AreOhEssEyeEe My vertigo started a few years ago when Sasktel installed a 5 g tower across the road from my house. In My bedroom which is at the highest level, I experience the worst of my vertigo. Access installed a second tower. Vertigo is worse.

  @BillboardChris I don't know about Sasktel to be honest. When Bell bought out MTS we got higher prices on somethings and did not get much better service.

  @SaskTelSupport Wow, thanks Sasktel for providing no reason for this outage. Come on people. I'm a home-based business and I get that things happen, but this was terrible public relations.

  @mdrozduik @therealballsy I lived in Regina from '06 to '12 and attended many events at the Brandt Centre. Was never as bad as trying to leave SaskTel Centre. I guess we "experienced it differently" lol
