  @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 hey, I’m trying to log into Sportsnet Now via my Sasktel login but it says the Blue Jays game isn’t included with my subscription? It’s what I used the entire year last year, and my TV package is exactly the same. Has something changed? Thx

  @JBMcAdams @SaskTel At our farm by Churchbridge, we are at a complete dead spot for cell service. Have to keep our landline for this reason, and StarLink is the only internet provider that actually gets a signal.

  Got an offer from @VirginPlus. It was the same offer I saw ystrday SaskTel has been offering~ That I didn't know about. V.P.'s Offering the same phones the same plan. So I tried to ask some questions of the Virgin staff but I was having phone tech issues.

  @hamiltondw2 @bsproat @ctvregina This is them admitting they can not properly service rural Sask. So I like it for that ! But why on earth would I ever pay Sasktel for starlink.

  @SaskTelSupport Sasktel announced this morning broadband to 48 more communities soon. Kind of a joke when you can’t even service the ones you got. Ie: Warman; over 24hrs with no service.
