Earlier this week, Rogers announced expansion of its LTE coverage across Canada and today, Telus has announced the launch of its 4G LTE wireless network across a large number of cities across the country.
Here’s the list:
Telus has announced that it will bring LTE technology to nearly 90 per cent of the BC’s population by the end of 2012. Similarly, 80 per cent of Alberta residents are expected to have access by the end of this year.

Looks to me from the coverage map on the Telus website that it is a bit too early to declare that they have LTE in Vernon. I would have to drive a few minutes south of Vernon to get LTE. Hopefully they put it in soon.,
The headline is a little misleading. It looks more like they launched LTE “Across A Vast Number Of Cities” in British Columbia and two other random places.
Indeed, Telus didn’t even bother touching the GTA.
Perhaps Telus should focus on getting their “existing” LTE network running properly. The coverage map on their site shows FULL LTE coverage in the GTA, from Burlington to Scarborough, and up North to Newmarket. I live and work in the downtown core and I lose LTE and revert to 3G ALL THE TIME. It’s terrible; specifically Little Italy, Queen and Parliament are areas in the core of the city where I never get LTE. False marketing!
Has anyone else found that the LTE network causes a huge drain on their battery?! Received my new iPhone 5 last week and with minimal use was losing battery in less than 12 hours!! Turned the LTE off and have seen some improvement…still pretty crap battery life compared to my iPhone 4 tho!
still better than ROGERS
Here is my awesome Telus 3G in PEI.
