VANCOUVER — Telus Communications announced today its Telus PureFibre customers in western Canada now have access to two new Wi-Fi solutions from the company – its Wi-Fi access point with tri-band technology and its new Wi-Fi Plus service.

Wi-Fi Plus is “Canada’s first all-in-one personalized Wi-Fi service that customers can add to their Wi-Fi 6 connection to ensure the most reliable, whole-home coverage, along with a dedicated support team, network security, and professional installation,” reads a Telus press release.

When combined, Telus’s Wi-Fi 6 access point and Wi-Fi Plus service “deliver the fastest Wi-Fi speeds and most reliable home coverage in Western Canada,” according to the press release.

“Our advanced Wi-Fi 6 access point and new Wi-Fi Plus service are changing the game for how our customers connect,” said Zainul Mawji, executive vice-president and president of home solutions and customer excellence at Telus, in the press release.

“We all know what it feels like to have that one spot in our home where the Wi-Fi connection just isn’t as strong, and the frustration that can cause ourselves and our families. We’re alleviating that pain point by providing whole-home coverage, all while delivering a more responsive gaming experience for players, extending the battery life of our connected devices, enhancing network security, and offering our customers a dedicated support line — an industry first.

“Our advancements in Wi-Fi will ultimately give our customers peace of mind so that they never have to worry about the reliability, safety, coverage, or speed of every connected device and their household Wi-Fi connection again,” Mawji said.
