With the rollout of 5G to these communities and areas, SaskTel has begun an important phase in its 5G program which will provide improved connectivity for rural communities and important Highway corridors throughout Saskatchewan.
Powered by Samsung, SaskTel’s 5G network can reach speeds of up to 1.2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) allowing customers to connect faster than ever before.
Future benefits of the 5G network once fully deployed will include incredible capacity and ultra-low latency.
Connecting to the SaskTel 5G network will require a compatible device and a 5G compatible wireless plan in a 5G coverage area.

I was sining Sasktel’s praises for giving customers an actually usable 2Mbps throttle after the high speed bucket is used, but that since has been reduced to 512 Kbps (essentially dialup).
