  Is Sasktel cell coverage any good along the Alberta/Saskatchewan border close to Esther/Loverna areas. Telus coverage has gone to **** here lately. Asking for a friend... @telusmobility @SaskTel

  @fanCRTCProfling Some of that will be remote locations. Land costs should actually be lower than average because the towers are going up on cheap or free land. (ie. White Fox tower went up on Sasktel's lot it already owned for the service shed) So that makes it even more suspect.

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat Yes they should definitely wait, continue to use extremely slow or no internet, because using starlink hurts some troll’s feelings. Starlink has been a game changer for people who’ve never had access to real high speed internet. No one will choose to pay more $$ for Telesat.

  @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.

  Please be aware that not all of these communities have been directly impacted by the fires themselves, or are currently under threat of wildfire. In some cases, SaskTel transport facility damage has led to these outages. #skoutage

  @SaskTel Well, I appreciate your reply. I know it's only lip service. I've been talking to Sasktel about this for years. Our complaints simply aren't going to cause you to build more towers or upgrade current ones. That's the only fix for this.

  @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.

  @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

  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
