TELUS has announced it plans to invest $17 million to launch its 4G LTE network in Manitoba, with expansion to first hit Winnipeg in the near future according to coverage maps. Michael Sangster, TELUS vice-president said “This year’s $17 million investment brings our customers in Manitoba the fastest and most reliable wireless technology available in the world.”

Currently, the only LTE service in Manitoba is provided by MTS which launched back in the fall of 2012. Bell has updated its coverage maps to indicate LTE is coming soon to Winnipeg as well (their 4G LTE network is shared with TELUS), while Rogers has previously said their LTE launch will come this year.
