Bell launched 4G LTE speeds of up to 150 Mbps now in Toronto

Bell launched an enhanced 4G LTE network capable of peak speeds up to 150 Mbps in the Kitchener-Cambridge area in Ontario. On July 31, these speeds will be available in Toronto, ON.

This LTE network enhancement provides the fastest network download speeds, and is the world’s most advanced network technology available.

Compatible devices:

This enhanced network is available on the:

·         4G LTE Sierra Wireless U330 Turbo Stick, and the

·         4G LTE Sierra Wireless 763 Turbo Hotspot, launching July 31.

Customers on all other 4G LTE devices are unable to access the enhanced 4G LTE network.  However, they can still access 4G LTE speeds of up to 75 Mbps.

Speeds on compatible devices:

Future devices: This enhancement allows for peak speeds of up to 150 Mbps on future devices that are capable of reaching these speeds.

Current devices: Devices compatible with the enhanced 4G LTE network offer peak speeds of up to 100 Mbps (with expected average speeds of 18-40 Mbps) while in an enhanced coverage area.

·         Outside the enhanced 4G LTE coverage area, devices will “fall back” to 4G LTE speeds of up to 75 Mbps. 

·         Where 4G LTE is unavailable, devices “fall back” to 4G HSPA+ speeds of up to 42 Mbps or 21 Mbps (depending on device specifications).

As devices evolve to support peak speeds of up to 150 Mbps, customers will be able to take advantage of the full potential of this network enhancement.

·         This enhanced 4G LTE network is available in Toronto and  the Kitchener-Cambridge area of Southern Ontario.
