High speed roaming, Stateside, from Telus


VANCOUVER – Wireless high speed roaming to more than 230 U.S. cities is now available to Telus mobile customers.

The announcement enables clients to access high-speed mobile Internet (and their e-mails or multimedia content) in more U.S. cities than offered by any other Canadian wireless carrier, says a press release.

With typical download speeds of approximately 400 to 700 kilobits per second, and maximum possible speeds of more than two megabits per second, Telus Wireless High Speed service offers clients the speed they need for mobile computing and SPARK mobile entertainment applications like mobile TV and radio, or Telus Mobile Music. Wireless High Speed is based on the CDMA 1xEVDO standard, a Third Generation (3G) wireless data technology.

Telus reaches more than half of Canadians with its coverage in most large Canadian population centres.
