  @WayneMantykaCTV @BradWall306 Keep your head down Sasktel. You’re about to experience the same vacuum as Manitoba Tel; another Bell Company.

  @WesternCanada1 @littlered_ace What’s Sasktel have to do when the state narrative spread by a government funded news service

  @Tori_TLCR @financialpost Time for SaskTel to go national. Without them in our market, prices would be MUCH higher. They are immune to shareholder pressure for unchecked profit. They are here to provide an essential service. The "free market" wouldn't stand a chance.

  Question for @SaskTel and @SamsungCanada, we've been visiting the same part of Meadow Lake Provincial Park for over 20 years. Why did we only have 1 bar of poor cell service in 2004 and by 2026 it hasn't got any better. Why has your technology not improved?

  Hey @SaskTelSupport @SaskTel, might want to remind service vehicle 331 MKW what a 30 zone means! I slowed down on McCarthy for it, they swerved around, flew past! Didn’t even help them as we ended up side by side at the next light! #SlowDown #ConstructionZone

  @JBMcAdams @SaskTel @bellmts is no better on the Manitoba side of the border. Coverage is intermittent from Russell to Bunge and then basically nonexistent to the border. So if the reason is that the coverage can’t cross the border then why do we pay for service that does not exist

  @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!

  @kirkrussell4 @flipkoin2 Lüm mobile runs on Bell's network outside of Saskatchewan, but the profits go back to the provincially owned, SaskTel. Support the people of Saskatchewan who kept public ownership.
