Best Rural Internet Service: SaskTel

Feb 13, 2020 | 2:37 PM

Saskatchewan is a pretty big place with people living from corner to corner. When it comes to helping you stay connected to those hard-to-reach places, no one is doing it better than SaskTel. This is why we’re happy to recognize SaskTel as the provider of the best rural internet service.

SaskTel currently offers DSL in over 450 communities across Saskatchewan. Over 320 of those communities have access to 25 Mbps or higher, and over 280 communities have access to 50 Mbps or higher. Having access to faster Internet means everyone in your house has a better experience. Faster speeds mean smoother downloading, clearer chatting, and higher-quality streaming. Plus, with a variety of plans available, you’ll be sure to find an Internet speed that suits your household. So, whether you’re a gamer or a binge-watcher, you can do what you love online with no bumps in the road.

As it turns out, being able to provide this level of service doesn’t just happen overnight. In an effort to continue to provide Saskatchewan with the best Internet experience, SaskTel is expanding its services with interNET Extended 50. How? By investing $321 million of capital in Saskatchewan in 2019 and 2020 and over $1.4 billion from 2018 through 2023. This includes SaskTel’s investment of $39.1 million in rural wireless and Internet enhancements. It’s all part of the Government of Saskatchewan’s 4-phase initiative to provide rural communities with enhanced access to reliable cellular and high-speed Internet services.

With investments like these pouring into neighbourhoods across the province, SaskTel continues to ensure that Saskatchewan residents have access to some of the best communication and entertainment services in the world.
