REGINA – SaskTel announced Friday it has launched interNET Extended 50 to the approximately 6,800 total residents in Balcarres, Buena Vista, Carrot River, Kinookimaw, Regina Beach, Shellbrook, Whitewood, and Wolseley.

Offering download speeds up to 50 Mbps, interNET Extended 50 is the fastest rural internet service SaskTel has ever offered, said the company.

“With interNET Extended 50, our customers in these communities now have access to more bandwidth than ever before, improving their ability to surf, stream, download, and share the online content that matters to them,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel president and CEO, in the press release.

The expansion of interNET Extended 50 is a product of SaskTel’s previously announced commitment to invest $321 million of capital in Saskatchewan in 2019/20 and over $1.4 billion through 2018-2023.
