Anyone using xplornet, now we get billed by xplornet, you can get updated packages..That were not available through Sasktel..
Today we went from 3.0 to 10..Cost $89.99 a month..Expensive..BUT now for the first time ever..HIGH SPEED!!!!!!

Do they offer Sasktel Fusion where you are?

Nope..We are surrounded by OLD towers..

Xplornet did an upgrade this summer that was supposed to speed things up 5 times they said.

It used to be painfully slow.

By far the worst business I've ever dealt with but no alternative here. The speed will start out great but they deliberately outsell the capacity of their hardware with no plans to upgrade. The business model here is they give you high speed for the first couple of months of your contract, then the speeds start dropping drastically at 7 pm, then 5 with a further cut at 7, then you're barely getting dialup speed but they've covered themselves in the fine print.
Xplornet is the internet equivalent of 19th century robber barons

Dale I totally agree. We would never consider xplornet again.

[furrowtickler]

Yup same thing happened here

How about Yourlink, any body happy with their EXTREMELY variable downloads? It is getting ridiculous, again, updating towers but we NEVER seem to get to the upgrade. At worst NO internet, slow as hell mostly and once in awhile BAM 2GB down. Is fusion available everywhere? nothing near us on the web site. Does that also SLOW down with use and how much data is enough?

And the same thing here. Enjoy what you have but continue looking for alternatives.
