SaskTel announced that the Village of Paradise Hill and Town of Preeceville are among the next wave of Saskatchewan communities to receive interNET Extended 25 and 50 as well as maxTV Stream service.
Other local area communities in the current expansion are Bredenbury, Calder, Churchbridge, Ebenezer, Endeavour, Langenburg, Norquay, Pelly, Rhein, Saltcoats, Stenen and Sturgis.
“SaskTel’s continued commitment to delivering innovative technologies and world class services is improving our residents and businesses ability to connect to the wider world and helping to enhance the quality of life in all corners of our province,” said Don Morgan, Minister Responsible for SaskTel.
Delivering download speeds up to 25 and 50 Mbps, interNET Extended 25 and interNET Extended 50 are the fastest rural internet packages SaskTel has ever offered. With this latest expansion, SaskTel now offers internet packages with download speeds that range from 5-50 Mbps in all communities listed below.
“Being Saskatchewan’s homegrown communications leader is a major point of pride for SaskTel and it’s this pride that helps drive us to bring the best products and services to residents throughout our province,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO. “From communities with a few dozen residents to our province’s largest centres, we’re working hard to bring incredibly fast internet speeds and the next-generation in entertainment services to as many households as possible.”
maxTV Stream combines the best of traditional television with advanced technology and the latest over-the-top (OTT) content from Netflix and YouTube.
These expansions are a direct result of SaskTel’s commitment to invest $321 million of capital in Saskatchewan in 2019/20 and over $1.4 billion through 2018-2023.
