experience life
at the speed of 5G

It's here & it's fast!

5G is the latest generation of mobile network technology that's evolving to deliver faster speeds, more responsive connection times and greater capacity to connect millions of smart devices.

Faster Speed

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.

Greater Capacity

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.

More Responsive than Ever

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.

New 5G Coverage for HRM

Customers around the Halifax area can now access our new 5G network.

5G Coverage Coming Soon

We're working to expand our 5G coverage across the Maritimes!
