You might not like Telus, Rogers or Bell, but they have deployed perfectly good systems, simply at a higher cost. As I've mentioned earlier, Telus has more of Alberta covered than SaskTel does of Saskatchewan. And you can get get cheaper home internet in Alberta too.

Yes, but look at a map. SaskTel has coverage basically from La Ronge south, and some coverage north of La Ronge up through Buffalo Narrows, Stanley Mission etc.
The reason Telus covers so much more of the north is because there are way, way more people living in the north. Draw a line west from La Ronge through Alberta and look north of that line.
You have Fort Mac with 60K (plus thousands north of Fort Mac in work camps), Slave Lake with 7k, Peace River with 7k, Grande Prairie with 3k, Grimshaw with 3k, Fairview with 3k.
