SaskTel is excited to announce that infiNETTM, SaskTel’s Fibre Optic Network, is now launching in some residential areas of Estevan. In completed areas of the city, SaskTel will begin to connect SaskTel high speed Internet and maxTV customers to the new network, with all existing and new customers having the opportunity to sign-up for infiNET once their neighbourhood is converted to fibre.
“Our government understands that the residents of our province want access to the most advanced technologies available,” said Jim Reiter, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “SaskTel continues to show their commitment to the people of this province by building world-class networks that enhance the quality of life for all Saskatchewan people.”
