** Comparing TELUS HSPA+ network service to Rogers HSPA+ network service, based on TELUS’ tests of data throughput speeds in large Canadian urban centres. Internet access speed provided by the network operator may vary due to the device being used, network congestion, distance from the cell site, local conditions and other factors. Speed on the Internet is beyond the wireless network operator’s control and may vary with your configuration, Internet traffic, website server and management policies, and other factors.

Facts about TELUS' 3G+ network
- Runs on 1900/850 MHz frequency bands and uses standard 3GPP SIM cards.
- Offers theoretical peak download speeds of 21.6 Mbps and 5.76 upload speeds.
Actual speed may vary by device and due to congestion, distance from the cell, local conditions, hardware, software and other factors, therefore typical speeds will range from 4-6 Mbps (download) and 2-4 Mbps (upload).
- Runs on network infrastructure that has been purpose-built from the ground up.
- Uses separate channels (parts of the wireless signal) for the data and voice components, so that capacity is reserved for data.
