TORONTO — Bell Canada announced today the introduction of pure fibre Internet service offering download speeds of 3 Gbps as well as upload speeds of 3 Gbps, saying they are the fastest Internet speeds of any major provider in Canada.
Bell’s unlimited pure fibre 3 Gbps Internet service is available now in eligible areas of Toronto and will soon be rolled out in more regions across the country, according to Bell’s press release.
“I’m so proud that Bell is once again leading the way in delivering faster Internet speeds for our customers,” said Blaik Kirby, group president, consumer and small and medium business, Bell, in the release.
“With total speeds three times faster than cable, our customers can now get download speeds of 3 gigabits per second and upload speeds of 3 gigabits per second. We look forward to continuing to deliver the speed and reliability that our customers need so that they can do what they need to do online even faster.”
With many customers having multiple devices connected and in use at the same time throughout their homes, Bell’s 3 Gbps Internet service provides “faster experience while working or learning from home, playing games or sharing videos with the upload speeds that cable cannot deliver,” the press release says.
Bell’s unlimited pure fibre packages comes with the Home Hub 4000 with the latest Wi-Fi technology on the market, Wi-Fi 6, which “enables customers to stream, share, learn, work from home, conduct video calls, game and do everything they need to do on their devices simultaneously, without sacrificing speed and performance.”
Bell’s new Gigabit Fibe 3.0 package is currently priced at $149.95 per month, according to information on the company’s website here.
Bell says it is undertaking “its most aggressive fibre buildout ever” in 2022, “with plans to reach up to 900,000 more homes and businesses across much of Canada with direct fibre connections,” according to the press release. (Bell announced this plan when it released its Q4 2021 financial results in February.)
