TELUS is North America's Fastest Mobile Network according to US-based Ookla
January 21 2022 - 9:00AM
TELUS is proud to announce that our mobile network has earned the
title of North America’s Fastest Mobile Network and for the ninth
consecutive time, named Canada’s Fastest Mobile Network from
Seattle-based Ookla®1. Ookla compared user-initiated tests from all
the major mobile carriers in Canada to determine who showed the
fastest mobile network speeds. As Canadians continue to depend on a
reliable and robust network to stay connected to friends and
family, work and learn remotely, and watch and listen to their
favourite content, TELUS continues to deliver with a Speed Score™
of 90.18 and average speeds of 82.44 Mbps for download and 8.18
Mbps for upload.
“More than ever, Canadians value a fast, reliable connection,
and the consistent recognition from independent, third-party
organizations, such as U.S.-based Ookla, reinforces the superiority
of TELUS’ world-leading mobile network,” said Darren Entwistle,
President and CEO of TELUS. “This is the ninth consecutive time
TELUS’ mobile network has earned top recognition from Ookla, as our
team, including our engineers and network innovators, have worked
diligently to keep Canadians connected to the people and
information that matter most. We are extremely proud of the many
ways in which our mobile network, with its global-best speeds, is
facilitating critical, transformational change in respect of
health, education, teleworking, the environment and the economy.
Perhaps most importantly, our world-leading networks are helping to
bridge digital divides so that every member of our society has the
opportunity to realize their full potential.”
TELUS’ wireless and wireline networks have been serving
Canadians with the highest quality and connectivity excellence
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. With significantly more Canadians
working and learning from home over the last 23 months, TELUS has
accelerated investments in new technologies to further enhance our
network reliability, resiliency and world-leading performance
standards to ensure our customers have a seamless, robust and
reliable experience.
Powered by a significant $54 billion investment in
infrastructure and operations through 2024, TELUS continues to
expand its 5G network, now reaching 70 per cent of the Canadian
population. The evolution of 5G will allow us to connect more than
30 billion life-changing devices, supercharge drones with sensors
for improved crop management, make autonomous vehicles smarter and
safer, and evolve industrial automation – and that is only the
beginning. It is estimated that 5G will create 250,000 jobs and
contribute $150 billion to Canada’s economy over the next 20
years.
The recognition from Ookla complements the countless accolades
TELUS has earned over the years in respect to their world-leading
wireless network. In 2021 alone, TELUS has been recognized by other
independent industry-leading experts, including UK-based
Opensignal, Victoria-based Tutela and New York-based J.D. Power,
building on an outstanding record of achievement with respect to
network excellence. Notably, these awards are based on TELUS’
national networks, inclusive of both urban and rural coverage.
