Bell announced Thursday that the latest Wi-Fi modem is available to subscribers in certain areas.
The Giga Hub 2.0 is now available across major areas of Ontario and select areas of Quebec, “delivering up to four times faster speeds, lower latency and better performance for today’s connected homes,” the telco said in a press release.
“Offering speeds up to four times faster than Wi-Fi 6E, lower latency for gaming, video calls and augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) experiences and support for up to double the number of simultaneously connected devices, Wi-Fi 7 sets a new standard in home connectivity,” the release said.
“Paired with Bell Pure Fibre – delivering symmetrical download and upload speeds, proven reliability, and an end-to-end low-latency fibre-to-the-home network (FTTH) – customers gain next-generation performance and future-proof technology that keeps pace with their growing digital needs,” it added.
Bell said the modem is available on all Bell Pure Fibre internet plans for new and existing customers in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, London, Windsor, Kitchener, Guelph, Barrie, Collingwood and Bradford, as well as Quebec City and the surrounding areas.
Rogers announced the launch of the latest modem to customers in Calgary in June and then in Atlantic Canada and Quebec, with the goal of rolling out to the rest of the country this year. Telus announced it launched the modem in British Columbia in July.
