ATLANTIC CANADA – Bell announced today it has launched 3 gig service to parts of Atlantic Canada.
The Gigabit Fibe 3.0 will have matching download and upload speeds of 3 Gigabits per second and is now available in Fredericton and Moncton, New Brunswick.
The fibre service also includes the next generation Wi-Fi 6E for gigabit Wi-Fi speeds in the home, Bell said.
“Many households today have multiple devices connected simultaneously throughout the home, with phones, computers, entertainment devices, and smart appliances all connecting to the Internet,” the company said in a press release. “Bell Gigabit Fibe 3.0 includes the Giga Hub with Wi-Fi 6E, enabling gigabit Wi-Fi speeds up to two times faster for connected devices shared in the home than Wi-Fi 6E solutions offered today by other major Canadian ISPs.”
The company also announced 5G+ mobile speeds are available customers to more areas across Atlantic Canada, now including Moncton and Riverview, NB; St John’s, Mount Pearl, Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s and Paradise in Newfoundland and Labrador; and Halifax Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia.
“5G customers with a compatible 5G+ device and rate plan, and who are within a 5G+ coverage area, can immediately take advantage of Bell 5G+ speeds,” the release said.
The 5G+ service, which utilizes the 3.5 GHz spectrum, has a theoretical top download speed of up to 3 gigabits per second in certain areas.
