Bell’s HSPA network to go live next month
Canadians coast to coast rejoice, for next month Rogers’ HSPA monopoly will come crashing down at the hands of Bell as it officially launches its HSPA network overlay. Bell has been under increasing pressure to iron out any kinks in their upcoming HSPA roll-out as the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winters Games are fast approaching and Bell is the official network. They seem to be giddy with excitement, too, having finished the work ahead of schedule. Their new HSPA network which is an overlay on top of Bell’s 1XRTT/EV-DO Rev A. network, will offer speeds of up to 21Mbps. While that might be impressive enough, they’ve also managed to cover over 1,000,000 square kilometers including 20,000 cities and towns, reaching 93% of the entire Canadian population. Color us more than impressed.
Hello Everybody,
i work from Bell Mobility as Manager Product and Pricing. Finally bell is Launching HSPA Network that means any cell phones will with Bell Network. it can be any cell phone from anywhere. EXAMPLE..Rogers cell phone or Telus Cell Phone as long as the cell phone is unlocked. Bell will charge $250 to unlock the cell phone, but you can unlock the cell anywhere from outside for only $25.00. prices may change for unlocking the cell phone the day they will launch the HSPA network. at the end now rogers will needs to work lot harder to compete Bell mobility.
