It's here & it's fast!
5G technology expansion will bring theoretical peak download speeds 100x faster than 4G LTE, meaning everything you do on a 5G network will be faster.
5G makes it possible to do more at once. 5G devices will eventually be able to manage multiple connections (10x more than 4G LTE) so you'll enjoy consistently fast speeds and performance.
As 5G technology expands it will provide devices with almost instantaneous response times, allowing for future applications such as self-driving cars, smart cities and more.
Customers around the Halifax area can now access our new 5G network.
We're working to expand our 5G coverage across the Maritimes!
Our long term goal is to offer 5G in all of our mobile coverage areas. Visit eastlink.ca/mobile/coverage for more details on current coverage and coming soon areas.
