Bell customers will soon have the option for a faster mobile data plan in Canada.
On Thursday, Bell Canada announced 5G+ Advanced. The telecommunications giant says this is its fastest network yet, &#8220;delivering unprecedented speeds and paving the way towards 6G.&#8221;
According to the company, 5G+ Advanced is powered by Bell&#8217;s latest spectrum deployment and its new 5G standalone core. This produces greater capacity, lower latency and theoretical peak download speeds that will reach 4.3 Gbps, which will provide a faster network for users to shop, stream, game and video chat.
&#8220;Connection is everything, and at Bell, it starts with delivering the best 5G wireless network to Canadians,&#8221; <a href="https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/bell-introduces-5g-advanced-its-fastest-and-most-advanced-network-yet-813297325.html" target="_blank">stated</a> Blaik Kirby, group president of consumer and small business at Bell. &#8220;Customers can count on faster speeds, richer experiences and more ways to do what they love – today and into the future.&#8221;
