MTS AllStream was not the only carrier announcing HSPA+ plans for Manitoba this week. Rogers Wireless also confirmed that it will extend its HSPA+ network to Manitoba starting on March 31st. While Rogers already offers wireless service in Manitoba, this will not only upgrade the service to HSPA+ in those areas already covered but also extend it to cover new markets such as Thompson, The Pas, and Flin Flon.
“We’ve listened to Manitobans and know they want a reliable experience and more choice. Now the countdown is on for the fastest mobile speeds available in Manitoba,” says Rogers GM for Manitoba, Laura Kwiatkowski. “We’re pleased to offer a new network to new customers that switch to Rogers and existing customers that will enable them to connect to what matters to them, anywhere within our new coverage area, anytime, on any device.”
Rogers will offer new smartphones, including Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry devices, and tablets to along with its updated network.
