Opensignal on Thursday published its latest 5G Experience and Mobile Network Experience Reports for Canada, comparing 5G and overall wireless services offered by Bell, Telus, and Rogers based on data collected between October 1 and December 29, 2022.
The independent analytics company found the three national telecom operators tied for both 5G Reach and 5G Availability in its “Coverage” category. According to Opensignal’s report, Bell has the fastest 5G download speeds in Canada.

“Bell users have the fastest average 5G Download Speed in Canada — 14.8% faster than second-placed Telus and 21.5% faster than last-placed Rogers,” said Opensignal. This time last year, Telus offered statistically the same download speeds as Bell on its 5G network.
Rogers took the crown for fastest upload speeds on a 5G network, with a score of 29.9Mbps, while Telus topped both of its rivals for 5G Video Experience.
Bell also won Opensignal’s Download Speed Experience award across all generations of wireless technology for the second time in a row, with the organization noting that “Bell users continue to observe the fastest overall download speeds in Canada.”

Been with Rogers since the iPhone 4 arrived in 2010, it has been fine, however the all day outages we had last summer need to never happen again. There should ALWAYS be a fallback for all Canadian carriers-wide 3G/LTE voice & data network in place for just such a thing.
Imagine if AT&T or Verizon went down for 24 hours in the United States, it would be pure insanity.
That’s why there’s T-Mobile.
Nobody cares, lower the prices
