In the beginning of February, Telus was preparing for a soft launch of HSPA+ (or what Telus calls 4G) in Manitoba. The soft launch was scheduled for today, and today Telus has launched the network.
This new network means that for residents in the Winnipeg area, you will be able to use the many Telus HSPA+ devices, including the iPhone 4. For network coverage, Telus had this to say,
“Manitoba’s 4G coverage is now operational in the extended Winnipeg area, and throughout 2011 and 2012 we’ll be adding new cities to our network. Enjoy unlimited provincial calling on our expanding network, offering theoretical peak download speeds of up to 42.2 Mbpsâ€
What do you think Manitobans?

Thank you, Telus, for saving me from Rogers!
the 4g network would work up in lockport? rogers doesnt even cover that place with 3g lol
How are they able to legally call this a 4G Network when they arent even able to provide half the speed that a true 4G network is to have?
