Additionally, Telus was ranked as the fastest mobile operator in Canada in Q2-Q3 2019 with a speed score of 69.91. This is a 16.8 percent increase from the same period last year.
Further, Bell ranked second with a speed score of 68.59, which was an increase of 17.5 percent from the previous year.
Researchers concluded that Canada’s fast mobile speeds are continuing to improve, and that 4G is available in most areas in the countries.

Speedtest has acknowledged that it will be interesting to see how these speeds will further improve as Canadian operators begin to roll out 5G.
