Bell Expands 5G+ Services to Manitoba

Bell has announced the availability of 5G+ service in Manitoba, offering customers the country's fastest mobile technology yet on Manitoba's top-ranked 5G wireless network.

Available in East St. Paul, Headingley, St. Andrews and Winnipeg, Bell 5G+ is expected to be faster and more responsive, allowing for a superior mobile experience.

Bell began deploying 3500 MHz wireless spectrum in the summer of 2022, introducing 5G+ service to areas across Ontario, Atlantic Canada and Western Canada. With today's expansion to Manitoba, Bell now offers 5G+ coverage to more than 40% of the Canadian population, including the availability of peak theoretical download speeds of 3 Gbps in select markets.

"I'm thrilled to offer our Bell customers in Manitoba access to the latest and most advanced mobile technology available today. With 5G+, we are paving the way for the future of connectivity, empowering businesses, enhancing consumer experiences and unlocking new possibilities. This milestone, coupled with our ongoing broadband investments in the region, represents our commitment to innovation and delivering world-class network and communication services to our valued customers in Manitob," said, Paul Norris, VP, Consumer Sales & Vice Chair of Bell MTS and Western Canada.

5G customers with a compatible 5G+ device and rate plan, and who are inside Manitoba's 5G+ coverage areas, 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.

Connecting Manitobans to new economic opportunities

Earlier this month, Bell MTS announced plans to connect more Manitobans to new economic opportunities with a continued commitment to broadband investment in communities large and small across the province. Fully funded by Bell, this rural broadband expansion program will bring all-fibre connections to East St. Paul, Gimli, Headingley, Ste. Anne, Teulon, and West St. Paul, providing fast and high-capacity 100% fibre connections with Internet download speeds of up to 1.5 Gbps and access to leading Bell MTS services such as Fibe TV. Surpassing $1.3 billion in capital expenditures since 2017 to bring high quality connections to more Manitobans, Bell MTS has been executing the accelerated rollout of its broadband fibre, 5G, and Wireless Home Internet networks.
