MONTREAL – Telus has brought its faster wireless speeds to Quebec, including more than a dozen cities such as Granby, Laval, Mont-Tremblant, Quebec City, Rimouski, Saguenay and Sherbrooke.
Building upon the EVDO network launched in late 2005, Telus has upgraded to EVDO Rev A service in the province, making it even faster for clients to "access data at broadband-like speeds while on-the-go," says the press release.
The speed improvement is part of Telus’ more than $100 million investment in delivering its clients access to EVDO.
The EVDO Rev A upgrade enables clients to experience upload speeds that are seven times faster than previous EVDO service with typical upload speeds of approximately 300 to 400 kilobits per second with a maximum possible upload speed of 1.8 megabits per second. The service also offers enhanced typical download speeds of approximately 450 to 800 kilobits per second to a maximum possible speed of 3.1 megabits per second.
The company’s EVDO Rev A network now reaches more than 60% of Canadians with service also available throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Winnipeg and Montreal. When traveling in the United States, clients can roam onto EVDO Rev A networks in 242 major metropolitan areas.
