Telus upgrades Thunder Bay to 4G LTE speeds


THUNDER BAY, ON – Telus reports that customers in Thunder Bay now have access to its 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The carrier’s 4G network now covers nearly 70% of the Canadian population. By the end of 2013, Telus’ 4G LTE network is expected to launch in Ontario regions including Collingwood, Port Colborne, North Bay, Cornwall and Woodstock.

“Telus is committed to offering the best experience for our customers and the launch of our 4G LTE service in Thunder Bay is an excellent example of how we’re delivering on this promise.” said Hilen Wong, Telus director of national retail. “With a 4G LTE device like the Samsung Galaxy S III, Note II and soon the BlackBerry 10, our customers right here in Thunder Bay will have the fastest wireless Internet at their fingertips, as fast as your home Internet connection but on your smartphone, tablet or Internet key. We continue to expand this new technology, community by community, so that by the end of the year more Ontario residents than ever will have access.”

To celebrate the launch of Telus 4G LTE network in Thunder Bay, new and existing customers can purchase a $50 rate plan free of premium charges, which includes unlimited Canada-wide calling, voicemail, caller ID and 6GB of data from now until February 7, 2013
