SaskTel says while the ongoing extent and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, it’s taking steps to make sure data capacity is adequate to handle the increased demands.

The Crown corporation said it realizes communications services are essential as customers have increased needs to work from home and remotely and is working to ensure the network continues to perform.

As of March 23, SaskTel has seen small growth in demand for internet services, provincially, at a roughly five per cent increase in data traffic.

Meanwhile, its national internet traffic has increased by around 25 to 30 per cent. Across the wireless voice network, demand has grown up to 16 per cent over the past week.
