Today SaskTel announced that it has launched High Speed Advanced Internet in Fort Qu’Appelle. High Speed Advanced Internet offers customers in Fort Qu’Appelle download speeds of up to 10 megabits per second (Mbps), which is twice as fast as their current SaskTel Internet service.

“SaskTel is pleased to bring faster internet to the residents of Fort Qu’Appelle,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel Acting President and CEO. “We take pride in being a communications leader that invests in the future success of the people and businesses that call rural Saskatchewan home.”

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.

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.
