SaskTel says it will offer subsidized High Speed Internet to low-income seniors and families across Saskatchewan as part of the second phase of the Federal Government’s Connecting Families initiative, announced in 2018.

As part of the second phase, eligibility for the program has been broadened from families receiving the maximum Canada Childcare Benefit (CCB) to include seniors receiving the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). The Federal Government will determine which Canadian families and seniors are eligible.

SaskTel will offer eligible customers infiNET 60 (where available), which comes with 60 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload speeds and unlimited monthly data for $20/month.
