Telus has announced the expansion of its 4G LTE network to Whistler, Squamish, Pemberton and the Sea to Sky Highway, as part of a $1.7 million investment. By the end of 2012, the company notes LTE will reach almost 90 percent of BC’s population.
“We are committed to offering you the best customer experience. A key part of that promise is bringing our 4G LTE service to the Sea to Sky and numerous other B.C. communities,” said Mike Black, TELUS vice-president of Customer Solutions Delivery. “With an LTE device our customers can enjoy the fastest wireless technology available in the world today – we are continuing to expand this new technology, community by community, so that by the end of the year nearly 90 per cent of B.C. residents are expected to have access. It’s an ambitious undertaking.”
Just last month, the LTE network expanded across Metro Vancouver, and earlier this year TELUS noted it was investing $3 billion in BC over the next three years to to further expand LTE. Who’s excited for this?
