Fido Expanding HSPA+ Coverage In Manitoba

This week, Fido has announced that it is expanding its wireless voice and data network, while updating existing wireless coverage in Manitoba.

The network expansion is said to bring high speed wireless voice and data to the existing coverage in Manitoba and also to new areas including:

  • Thompson
  • Flin Flon
  • The Pas
  • St. Theresa Point
  • Grand Rapids
  • Along Hwy 10 and Hwy 6.

To take advantage of the new network speeds, Fido customers must have an HSPA device such as an iPhone.

The entire expansion project has a tentative completion date for late 2010.

For more details, check out the future Manitoba network coverage map.

This is interesting… HSPA+ only network. Seems like this is the network MTS is building there and they are just going to roam on it.

So Telus/Bell got Saskatchewan… And Rogers/Fido got Manitoba =P

Excellent. I assume Roger customers will also benefit from this expansion?
