beyond our control also affect coverage. These include weather

the cell is being used indoors or outdoors. Saskatchewan 4G

Wireless Data Fair Use Policy
Effective August 27, 2014
This policy lets us manage the data usage of a very small
group of the heaviest data users to maintain a higher quality
of service for all customers. Managing data consumption
allows us to continue to offer the only Canada-wide data
plans with no roaming overage charges.
If you exceed the Wireless Data Fair Use Policy usage
limits, your wireless data service will be slowed to speeds
equivalent to SaskTel High Speed Light service (up to
256 Kbps download speed and 128 Kbps upload speed)
for the remainder of your billing period.
The current Wireless Fair Use Policy data usage limits are:
••
••
Dependant on the plan you subscribe to
200 MB per billing period while roaming outside
of Canada (this limit is increased to 10 GB in the
United States if you subscribe to a United States
Data Travel Add-on)
To prevent your service from being slowed, you can monitor
your data usage with a data tracker application. See Usage
tips below for information on data tracker applications and
other tips to help manage your data usage.
The SaskTel Wireless Data Fair Use Policy is designed to
enable SaskTel to manage its network within Saskatchewan.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SaskTel’s Wireless Data Fair Use Policy is subject to change
from time to time in order to maintain an ongoing positive
experience for all customers on SaskTel’s Wireless Network
as well as on the networks of other carriers with whom
SaskTel has roaming agreements. SaskTel will inform you
of any changes in this policy by posting such changes to
sasktel.com or communicating them to you in such other
manner or medium as SaskTel determines is reasonable in
the circumstances. SaskTel will endeavour to give 30 days
prior notice of changes in this policy.

in Saskatchewan:
