The new Belus network will be 4G (LTE) capable, meaning look for up to 100Mbps download speeds not too far down the line. Who cares about HSPA+.

These companies are misleading the public with their 3G claims. Well Bell may be ’3G’ but their version of 3G isn’t nearly as fast as Rogers 3G network.

I just don't think both companies should be using the 3G moniker when in reality they both mean different things to each company. Since they both use different cell technology, the speeds are different. Yet they never really advertise the speeds, they just say its 3G speeds which means what? I definitely do not doubt that.

I'd say Rogers is the one fooling everyone. I have a co-worker with BB Bold and I have a new BB Tour from Telus, my data speeds are faster than his side by side.

Sounds like they are up to it again. More marketing spin than fact at Rogers I am afraid. Time for consumers to notice. Rogers has a history of over hyping and hoping customers dont notice.

No such problems with Bellus. i switched from rogers to telus; I use to have no signal in random areas of the Ottawa downtown core (in fact, in the market, the hot place to be) as well as many random dead spots all over town.

Belus will have it by the end of the year, with much wider coast-to-coast coverage. I have friends who are paramedics in Mtl. Their work takes them into every nook and cranny of the place. When they decided to get their own cell phone they went with Rogers because it was cheaper at the time. Long story short: they ended up using the work cells (Bell's) a lot for their own personal calls and when their contract is up, it's bye-bye Rogers. Btw, they vacationed in the Gaspe area and found that Rogers had ZERO coverage there. Bell's service was great.

After two months, I disagree with this statement, at least for Montreal area. You take the elevator: you will loose the signal with a BB8900. Fortunately the UMA feature helps for me when working in our lab at the basement. That is the only plus to Rogers recently I moved from Bell to Rogers, understanding their network is more reliable.

The numbers don't lie; ROGERS takes years from announcing to launching and even longer when it comes to making it available to all. Awaiting to try out the new network, hoping it will coincide with fair pricing as well. Although BELL usually gets bad press; ROGERS is clearly trying to take away from BELLs thunder..!!
