TELUS Launches Wi-Fi 7 in B.C., Plans Alberta Quebec Expansion

TELUS has launched its next-generation Wi-Fi 7 technology in British Columbia, with plans to expand to Alberta and Quebec, offering speeds up to four times faster than Wi-Fi 6 along with lower latency and the ability to connect more devices simultaneously. This upgrade is available to new customers on TELUS PureFibre Gigabit plans and existing customers who upgrade their speed tiers, supporting activities like 4K streaming, online gaming, and smart home connectivity. The Wi-Fi 7 router has received 2025 Red Dot Awards for design and sustainability, featuring at least 65% recycled plastic, plastic-free packaging, and a modular design to promote reuse and durability. TELUS emphasizes its PureFibre network, delivering symmetrical speeds and uploads significantly faster than cable providers, enhancing the overall internet experience. These advancements align with TELUS's strategic focus on technology readiness, environmental responsibility, and market expansion, potentially supporting future revenue growth and strengthening its position in the Canadian telecommunications market. TELUS's Wi-Fi 7 launch follows similar moves by competitors Rogers and Bell, highlighting an industry-wide push for faster and more reliable internet services across Canada.
