little better rates? Saskatchewan residents pay
half the rates for similar plans in other provinces. We also have the best coverage (despite having the lowest population density), and Sasktel still manages to make a profit and contributes to the government coffers every year. All while paying their employees more than most other Telcos (most of which stays right in the province)
So yeah... it's worth it.
