CHETWYND, B.C. – Telus said this week it has invested $200,000 to bring 4G LTE to the 2,600 residents of northeastern B.C. community of Chetwynd, and to the 2,000 residents of south-central B.C. town 100 Mile House.
Telus has rolled out 4G LTE to more than 80% of British Columbians in 2012 and plans to connect even more by the end of 2013, says the company’s press release.
“Telus is committed to providing the best service to our customers, and that includes offering those living in Chetwynd the fastest wireless technology available in the world today,” said Chris Jensen, Telus general manager for Northern British Columbia, in a press release. “With a 4G LTE device like the Samsung Galaxy S III or Note II, TELUS customers right here will have the fastest wireless Internet at their fingertips, as fast as your home internet connection but on your smartphone, tablet, or Internet key.”
