REGINA — SaskTel announced today households in all communities served by its infiNET service now have access to faster speeds with the launch of its infiNET 600 and infiNET 1 Gig packages.
In a press release, SaskTel says it launched the higher-speed Internet service offerings in Regina and Saskatoon last year. Now, infiNET 600 and infiNET 1 Gig services are available in 24 more Saskatchewan communities, including Balgonie, Battleford, Biggar, Emerald Park, Estevan, Humboldt, Kindersley, Langham, Martensville, Melfort, Melville, Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Nipawin, Pilot Butte, Prince Albert, Rosthern, Swift Current, Tisdale, Warman, Weyburn, White City, Whitecap Dakota First Nation and Yorkton.
“Powered by SaskTel’s fibre optic network, infiNET 600 and infiNET 1 Gig vastly expand the speed and capacity available to infiNET subscribers. Offering download speeds up to 600 Mbps and 940 Mbps respectively, infiNET 600 and infiNET 1 Gig are well-suited for households that want to experience super responsive, no-lag gaming, smoother video calls, and crisp 4K/Ultra HD streaming, even when everyone at home is online,” reads the press release.
“With SaskTel infiNET service, our customers have access to future-ready Internet technology that will continue to evolve to meet their growing needs for years to come,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel’s president and CEO, in the release.
“The expansion of these new Internet packages further demonstrates our commitment to keep the people of our province connected to what matters most to them.”
SaskTel says it plans to expand its infiNET service to more communities this year, including the City of Lloydminster and many other towns and smaller centres as part of its Rural Fibre Initiative.
When infiNET service is available in these additional communities, residents there will also be able to access SaskTel’s full range of infiNET speeds, the company’s press release says.
“The expansion of infiNET 600 and infiNET 1 Gig is a direct result of SaskTel’s commitment to invest over $1.4 billion of capital in Saskatchewan over the next five years,” the release reads. (Cartt.ca previously wrote about SaskTel’s investment commitment here.)
