SaskTel to Improve Wireless Service in Ceylon
Today SaskTel announced the launch of a small cell site in the Village of Ceylon which will improve LTE cellular services in the community and surrounding area. The new cell site is part of Phase 2 of the Government of Saskatchewan’s multi-phase initiative to provide rural communities with enhanced access to reliable cellular and high speed internet services.
“I’m thrilled to see Ceylon is one of the communities to receive a new cellular site in Phase 2 of our government’s initiative to improve communication services in rural communities.” Dustin Duncan MLA for Weyburn-Big Muddy said. “I am looking forward to the positive changes this tower will bring to the area.”
“SaskTel continues to invest in its networks, so our customers get the service they expect and need.” Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO said. “With Saskatchewan’s largest LTE network, SaskTel customers can surf, stream, and download the content they want faster than ever before and from almost anywhere in the province.”
