Bell debuts 3 gigabit speeds, 5G+ in Atlantic Canada

Bell is introducing faster Internet speeds and faster mobile technology in Atlantic Canada. Bell Gigabit Fibe 3.0 service offers symmetrical download and upload speeds of 3 Gbps (gigabits per second) and is now available to customers in Fredericton and Moncton, New Brunswick.

5G+ mobile speeds are also available to customers in many centres across Atlantic Canada, the country's fastest mobile technology yet on Canada's most awarded 5G network.

"As a leader at Bell and a Nova Scotian, I am excited that our advanced services and technologies are now available for customers across the Atlantic region. Enjoying content at home or on the go is now even better for Atlantic Canadians, allowing them to do more of what they want online, even faster," said, Glen LeBlanc, Bell CFO and Vice Chair Atlantic.

Many households today have multiple devices connected simultaneously throughout the home, with phones, computers, entertainment devices, and smart appliances all connecting to the Internet. Bell Gigabit Fibe 3.0 includes the Giga Hub with Wi-Fi 6E, enabling gigabit Wi-Fi speeds up to two times faster for connected devices shared in the home than Wi-Fi 6E solutions offered today by other major Canadian ISPs2. Wi-Fi 6E is the next evolution of Wi-Fi advancement, enabling faster speeds and lower latency when used with a compatible device and allows customers to work, learn, video chat, stream and game online on any or all of their household devices simultaneously.

Expanding 5G+ service

Bell began deploying 3500 MHz wireless spectrum in the summer of 2022, unleashing the next phase of 5G advancement. Today, Bell is expanding its 5G+ service to more areas across Atlantic Canada, including Moncton and Riverview in New Brunswick; St John's, Mount Pearl, Portugal Cove-St. Philip's and Paradise in Newfoundland and Labrador; and Halifax Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia. Bell 5G+ is expected to be faster and more responsive, allowing for a superior mobile experience.

5G customers with a compatible 5G+ device and rate plan, and who are within a 5G+ coverage area, can immediately take advantage of Bell 5G+ speeds. Those outside of the coverage areas can continue to enjoy 5G, LTE and 4G on Canada's best network.
