  @GordTulk @ExnerPirot @JeffCallaway Sasktel is the reason rates are lower for cell service from any provider in Sask. Big dummy. It's single handedly pulling down costs for consumers across the country.

  @conorsvan1 ICBC isn’t twice as expensive as Alberta lmao, it’s usually cheaper. And SGI is the cheapest insurance in Canada. Sasktel is the best telecom company in Canada and drives down the other big 3’s prices in Saskatchewan. A public option is absolutely a good thing for esssntials.

  Mr. Premier, the mega project is being severely hampered by very poor or nonexistent cel coverage in rural SK. It hurts daily productivity & could mean life or death for one of us if we need emergency services. What's your take? @CarlaBeckSK @evanbrayshow @SaskTel

  This planned outage is now completed. The maintenance was required to support the long‑term reliability of the network serving the community. SaskTel thanks customers in and around Kinoosao for their patience and understanding while this work was completed.

  ~25 minutes ago, the Internet went down for me here; no info from @sasktel/@SaskTelSupport as to what occurred. It seems to be back now, so I'll attempt to start at 9:50 p.m. MDT. Sorry. 😑🙏🏻🎶

  @Critter_Paths @RebelNewsOnline Oh gosh…ya…I’ve been doing this for 30 years…building switching centers, to central offices/and now Data Centers and supporting/installing/upgrading/planning/budgeting/building these projects and all the “wires” on poles, towers and in holes - all over 🇨🇦. Built networks for Bell, Roger’s, Telus, Cogeco, Videotron, Eastlink, SaskTel, NRBN, NFTC, C3Telecon, Sogetel……I can go on. Here is the scoop on Data Centers. Yes, DC’s take a ton of energy in the form of electricity and some “do” water. Not all are built the same. For context a simple (small) 50,000 square foot DC - can provide service to approximately 30M people globally again on today’s AI standards. This DC, again for example, can create over 3 to 7m in tax revenue per year for any community (and way more for the feds could get some DST from the 🌎. So this DC, for context, sits in a Dollar Store size building……and delivers a huge boost to the locals….to build that they employed over 200 part time and now hire 50 people to manage it daily…the 200 that built this, build the next - a team a crew, and they get way more $ after every gig….talk to me….I fly around talking about this. I think we have a better job to do in communicating the overall business, environment, economic, and social aspects of them….I have work to do….but Canada is cold, has a ton of land, resources, and a ton of access to global fiber connectivity. If not, I’ll install it with all my friends 👍🇨🇦👍

  @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

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat No worse than any other internet provider.... its the content much more than the provider which is the issue.

  @anthonpaul24 @JFreshHockey The solution: Relocate the franchise to the Sasktel Centre
