Rogers today has enabled its 700MHz spectrum in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. The carrier recently paid $3.29 billion for this spectrum from the Federal government’s recent spectrum auction.

Rogers says existing LTE devices can now access better signals deep within buildings with thick concrete walls, basements and elevators thanks to the 700MHz band, which should allow for increased signals to let you stream more video (and use more data).

Earlier in April, Bell launched its 700MHz LTE network in Hamilton.
