SaskTel is set to invest $100 million to expand service to more than 80 towns and villages across the province.
This means these communities will now be connected to the telecommunication company’s fibre optic broadband network. The company states its service delivers Internet speeds reaching close to a gigabit per second.
“Our government is committed to growing Saskatchewan’s economy and improving the quality of life for all people of our province,” said Don Morgan, minister responsible for SaskTel. “The massive investments being made by SaskTel to expand their fibre optic broadband network across Saskatchewan will help create a more connected and prosperous future for our people, our communities and our province.”
This expansion is part of the ‘Rural Fibre’ initiative originally announced in 2020. Through it, SaskTel will invest $200 million to bring its service to around 110,000 residents and businesses living and operating in over 130 rural communities.
