Today SaskTel announced that it has launched High Speed interNET Extended 10 in Air Ronge and La Ronge.  High Speed interNET Extended 10 offers customers download speeds of up to 10 megabits per second (Mbps), which is twice as fast as the current Internet service available in both communities.    

“We are pleased to bring faster internet to the residents of Air Ronge and La Ronge,” said Doug Burnett, Acting SaskTel President and CEO.  “SaskTel takes great pride in being the communications leader in the province and we understand how important access to fast and reliable communications services is for the social and economic development of residents all throughout Saskatchewan.”  

All SaskTel High Speed Internet packages include unlimited usage, free installation, in-home Wi-Fi, spam and email virus filtering, and 24/7 helpdesk support – all for one low monthly price. 

This upgrade is part of SaskTel’s commitment to invest over $300 million in capital in Saskatchewan in 2017/18 and $1.4 billion through 2016-2021.  These investments will ensure that all Saskatchewan residents will continue to receive some of the best communication and entertainment services in the world.
