I'll tell you something new: For the first time in five years of testing, Telus is Canada's Fastest Mobile Network. The third-largest Canadian carrier is now number one with a bullet, winning a tight battle with Bell for overall performance, sweeping the country's major cities and winning our population-weighted Speed Score.

This year was Canada's 150th birthday, and we wanted to give the country a present by delivering our first truly coast-to-coast drive test, covering all 10 provinces. We hit major cities and selected small towns everywhere from St. John's to Victoria, measuring speeds on Bell, Rogers, Telus, Eastlink, Freedom, MTS, and Videotron.

Nationwide Winner: Telus

Bell Rogers Telus Maximum Download Speed (Mbps) 431.48 375.87 479.94 Average Download Speed (Mbps) 99.03 50.69 102.12 Downloads Above 5Mbps (%) 98% 98% 98% Maximum Upload Speed (Mbps) 67.38 66.80 66.53 Average Upload Speed (Mbps) 25.47 23.46 28.12 Uploads Over 2Mbps (%) 96% 97% 97% Average Ping (ms) 44.53 53.75 37.85 Time on LTE (%) 100% 99% 100% Speed Score (out of 100) 97 85 100

We found significant differences between provinces, and between small towns and big cities. While Telus rules in big cities, Bell dominates midsize Ontario cities and Atlantic Canada, and Videotron still plays well in smaller Quebec cities.

Telus and Bell share most of their radio network. Over the past few years, Telus has evened the score with Bell first by getting access to its Band 7 spectrum in 2015, and then matching it on carrier aggregation this year. The difference between the two networks then becomes their core network design—the lines that come down from the towers, and their connections to the internet. In 2017, it looks like Telus has done a lot of work optimizing its core network in the big cities where the most Canadians live, giving them the fastest possible connections.

Rogers appears to be at least a generation behind Bell and Telus on network technology, and it's dragging Videotron (which shares its network) with it. You can see this by looking at maximum speeds: Bell and Telus frequently have double the maximum speeds Rogers does.

These breathtaking speeds are dependent on current-edge technologies that might not be in your phone, though. To get top speeds on Canadian carriers, you need four-carrier aggregation, 256-QAM encoding, and 4x4 MIMO antennas, which are together called gigabit LTE. Those features are currently available only on the HTC U11, LG V30, Moto Z2 Force, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S8, and Sony Xperia XZ1, although more phones with these features will be coming out later this year. iPhones are likely to be stuck in a slightly slower lane until 2018.

In our US story, we profiled how your phone choice makes a difference on download and upload speeds. You'll see even more dramatic differences in Canada, as these technologies have been more comprehensively rolled out here than in the US.

Great Leaps Forward

Canadian wireless speeds, and LTE availability, have increased by leaps and bounds since our first tests in 2013. And since many Canadians are still on two-year contracts, you may not be aware of the huge changes in networks since 2014.

Rogers was the early leader with LTE in Canada, and its 2011 launch left the other carriers scrambling to catch up. But they did catch up, starting in 2015. Bell's activation of high-speed Band 7 networks in major cities, and its aggressive approach to carrier aggregation (which binds together different bands of spectrum so they appear to be one broad highway), made Bell competitive with Rogers in 2015 and pushed it ahead in 2016. Telus trailed behind for a while, but getting full access to that Band 7, plus a year's worth of network optimization has really helped it in 2017.

All this goes to say that the Canadian carriers are competitive, and living up to their promises when it comes to network rollouts. The state of Canadian LTE is strong. As always, the country's competitive weakness isn't in low quality, but in high prices.

Freedom: The One to Watch

Freedom Wireless, the former Wind Mobile, is the potential game changer in this year's results. Freedom is in the middle of turning on its LTE network, and in Toronto, several southern Ontario cities, and Edmonton, it comes close to matching Rogers' speeds.

Our Freedom results show that its owner, Shaw, still has some work to do. In Toronto, Freedom's 4G LTE network was 10 percent less reliable than Bell's. In Calgary, it was 20 percent less reliable. In Hamilton, it was 30 percent less reliable. Ouch. Most of the time, when our Freedom device fell off of LTE, it didn't lose signal entirely; it reverted to Wind's previous 3G network. But Canadians now expect nearly complete LTE coverage in major cities, and Freedom must deliver.

That said, Freedom is charging half of what the three big networks do for a 6GB plan. If you stay almost entirely in its coverage area (as its most popular $49 plan has voice, but not data, outside its limited range), that's a great deal. Videotron recently sold some more spectrum to Shaw, which (unlike Wind) is a big enough company to actually afford to build out a network. That's very encouraging, and users in those big cities looking for a deal should definitely think of switching to Freedom.

While regional carriers have done very well in our past tests, they just haven't been improving as fast as Bell and Telus have. MTS (now owned by Bell) showed very similar performance to last year, but Bell's average download speeds in Winnipeg tripled thanks to new carrier aggregation technology. In Montreal, Videotron got a little faster, but once again, Bell and Telus got a lot faster. The same story also plays itself out with Eastlink in Nova Scotia.

Where's Unlimited?

There's a revolution sweeping US wireless carriers. It's called unlimited, and our results show that Canada's networks can handle it. Canadian carriers just aren't pressuring each other to go there.

Canada's notoriously high wireless rates haven't changed much over the past year. That's interesting because the competitive landscape has changed. Freedom is much more competitive than Wind was, and MTS's performance is really declining. But that hasn't lowered the Big Three's rates in Calgary, or raised them in Winnipeg.

Meanwhile, in the US, carriers are by and large switching over to unlimited plans. These aren't really unlimited; they start to throttle after 22GB or so. But for $100 to $105 Canadian, US subscribers are getting triple the data the Big Three are offering up north.

The US also has a thriving marketplace of virtual carriers with super-cheap plans for less-heavy users. Canada has, well, Chatr, which is reasonably priced but nowhere near as flexible as US value leaders like US Mobile, Ting, and Twigby.

According to a 2016 CRTC report, wireless prices have been flat or in slight decline in Canada over the past few years, with costs dropping most sharply in Montreal because of an ongoing price war involving the Big Three and Videotron. At the moment, 6GB plans in Quebec are running as low as $49 per month, or half of what they cost in Ontario.

One thing to understand about speed test results is that speed is also a proxy for capacity. Carriers can choose to offer a few users very fast connections, or slow everyone down a bit so they all share.

The stunning speeds that Bell and Telus are showing in major Canadian cities—often double the speeds of US carriers—tell us that their networks have headroom. The price war in Quebec shows that they're willing to lower rates if pushed. The carriers will disagree with both of these assertions, probably citing crowdsourced reports showing that AT&T and Verizon's speeds have declined since the introduction of unlimited plans.

But the story in the US is more complicated than that. First of all, that same report shows Sprint and T-Mobile's speeds continue to rise, even with unlimited plans and T-Mobile's dramatic subscriber growth. AT&T's decline may be thanks to a new discounted plan capped at 3Mbps; Verizon's might come from throttling heavy data users. Our Fastest Mobile Networks drive tests in May, on the other hand, showed that AT&T's and Verizon's uncapped speeds are better, not worse, than last year's.

We respectfully disagree with the carriers that they can't offer bigger, cheaper plans to Canadian consumers. Now, Canada only needs an "un-carrier" to push things forward. Perhaps Freedom is up to the task.

The Best Wireless Plans in Canada

Canadian wireless services are expensive, but you can find some bargains if you shop around.

We've been tracking Canadian wireless plan prices for five years now. While there have been a number of changes over the past year, they've mostly been of the rearranging-deck-chairs variety: Overall monthly prices have gone up slightly, but for slightly larger data buckets.

Canada has three nationwide wireless networks, plus several regional carriers. You might see some other brands out there; most of them are owned by the Big Three carriers and are called "flanker brands." They're generally targeted at younger consumers and they don't offer family plans. But if you have one line of service, they can deliver more value per dollar than the traditional brands.

There are also a very few independent virtual operators, primarily 7-Eleven (on Rogers), PC Mobile (on Telus), and Petro-Canada (on Rogers). Their prepaid plans can be good deals for light users, but they don't offer much savings for heavier users.

We looked at plans for a single 5/6GB line as a good measure of the best deal for moderate to heavy users. All of these plans have unlimited texting and unlimited Canada-wide calling. We also prefer no-contract plans, so you can switch networks (taking your phone with you!) if you find a better deal or a better network.

In Alberta, BC, Ontario, and PEI, the best deal is with Public Mobile's 90-day, 18GB (6GB/month) plan for $80 per month . This gives you access to Telus' network, which we found to be the fastest in those provinces. This is a prepaid plan where you pay in three-month chunks, and you can autopay.

. This gives you access to Telus' network, which we found to be the fastest in those provinces. This is a prepaid plan where you pay in three-month chunks, and you can autopay. In Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan, we'd go with Koodo's 5/6GB plan for $48/49 , which is on par with the other carriers' flanker brands and connects to Telus' network.

, which is on par with the other carriers' flanker brands and connects to Telus' network. In New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia, your best bet is Virgin Mobile's 6GB plan for $85 , which connects to Bell, the best network in those provinces.

, which connects to Bell, the best network in those provinces. Honorary mention goes to Freedom's $49, 6GB plan in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. If you do not frequently leave your metro area and want to save money, it's a steadily improving alternative.

What about family plans? The flanker brands and Freedom don't offer family plans, so especially if you have several lines in a family, you'll be turning to either the big carriers or the regional ones.

The big carriers make it very difficult to price out family plans online. For two lines, you may actually do better with two prepaid lines depending on how much data you use. (Two Freedom Wireless lines, at $49 each, are cheaper together than a big carrier's two-line family plan.)

For three lines or more, the big carrier family plans are the way to go, even though they're expensive. In this case, while Eastlink, MTS, and Videotron didn't do spectacularly well in our speed tests this year, they offer significant savings over the major carriers and should be considered for multi-line plans.

Testing Methodology

Our methodology for testing Canada is a lot like our US methodology, but in some ways distinctly different.

We gave all Canadian carriers an opportunity to participate. Bell, Eastlink, Freedom, MTS (as a unit of Bell), Rogers, and Telus agreed. SaskTel declined to participate.

Just like in the US, we used custom field-test software designed by Ookla, the creator of Speedtest.net (Note: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, PCMag.com's parent company). The software was loaded onto Samsung Galaxy S8 phones, chosen because they're able to access new gigabit LTE networks at full speed.

The software runs tests every 90 seconds. We measured uploads and downloads, alternately to the nearest server in Ookla's network and to an Amazon Web Service instance in Toronto. The idea was to look at servers that consumers frequently connect to. Major edge providers like Amazon host many popular sites, while other sites are hosted by business ISPs that make up Ookla's server network.

We stopped at a range of locations within a metro area, for at least 15 minutes each. The number of locations varied by the population of the area: we made 10 stops in Quebec and Regina, for instance, but 20 in Montreal and Toronto.

This year, we decided to call out smaller cities and towns to test in, as well. We made one or two stops in towns such as Sackville, NB; Gander, NL; and Moose Jaw, SK.

Our national score is a population-weighted average based on 2016 census metropolitan area data from Statistics Canada. Results in larger cities, such as Toronto, received more weight in the final score than smaller cities, such as Halifax.

We tested mostly during business hours, from July 23 through August 22. We visited different cities on different days. We ended up with about 36,000 test runs, which we processed through a MySQL database and summarized on an Excel 2016 spreadsheet.

The PCMag Speed Score

The PCMag Speed Score is a weighted average that looks at six components of the mobile data experience.

This year, we are taking our cues from the new CRTC report on "modern telecommunications services," released in late 2016. While the CRTC decided not to choose a target speed for mobile broadband, it said it was prioritizing availability of LTE technology across Canada. So we're pumping up the importance of "percentage of time on LTE," which we used to call "reliability."

Since most mobile internet usage is web page downloads or small-screen video streaming, it's just as important to have a consistent experience as a fast one. Smartphone users may not be able to see the difference between 20Mbps and 100Mbps, but they can definitely feel the difference between 2Mbps and 5Mbps. So we created a "threshold score" showing the percentage of downloads over 5Mbps, and the percentage of uploads over 2Mbps.

Here's how it all comes together:

Average download speed (20 percent)

Downloads over 5Mbps threshold (20 percent)

Average upload speed (10 percent)

Uploads over 2Mbps threshold (10 percent)

Ping time (10 percent)

Time on LTE (30 percent)

Crowdsourcing vs. Drive Testing

There are a lot of "fastest" awards out there. They're all correct, according to their own testing and methodology, and they all have something interesting to say.

In testing, the main division is between crowdsourcing and drive testing. Right now, we think we're the only organization doing public drive testing in Canada.

Crowdsourcing, which is done by Sensorly, Ookla Speedtest, and OpenSignal, relies on users to run speed tests on their own devices. With a big enough crowd, you can get a good picture of a network. Crowdsourcing is always happening, so it's up to the minute. And you don't have to have carriers' cooperation. We dip into Ookla's crowdsourced data set to look at SaskTel's performance, for instance.

But crowdsourced apps often can't tell whether a test is indoors or outdoors, which makes for very different results. They may not do a good job of finding dead zones, if their users don't run tests in places that obviously have no signal. They may have bigger crowds with some carriers, or in some cities. And if a carrier throttles some users' data plans for overuse, it's difficult to tell in a crowdsourced report who's been throttled, and where the network is just slow.

Drive testing is what we do. Drive testing lets us compare carriers using the same device, in the same place, at the same time. This way we can eliminate variables and map out coverage on our route. It lets us make sure we have as much data as we want in each city, so we can be confident in our results. And it lets us properly chart LTE availability and dead zones, which the government has said are its key metrics for this year.

Alberta

Telus' team in Edmonton has clearly been driving around tightening all the nuts and bolts. It had the fastest downloads and lowest latency by a noticeable amount in Edmonton, while Bell and Telus ended up in a near-tie in Calgary.

Our two stops in Red Deer, in between the two cities, told a slightly different story. As we've seen in other smaller metro areas, Bell and Telus haven't laid their absolute latest technologies in Red Deer, which makes Rogers much more competitive—and Rogers actually won that city.

Now that Freedom has LTE, its speeds are competitive in both major cities. Freedom really needs to work on consistency and reliability, though. While its broadband speeds were very consistent where available in Calgary, we found that it dropped to 3G about 20 percent of the time. The low-cost carrier also isn't available along the corridor between the two big cities. That said, Freedom is so much cheaper than the Big Three carriers that it's worth considering as an option if speed isn't that important to you.

British Columbia

Vancouver and Victoria were Rogers' fastest cities, the only places in the country where we saw the 400Mbps-class speeds we regularly saw on other carriers elsewhere in the country. But that upgrade wasn't enough to slow Telus' nationwide onslaught, and Telus simply rocked British Columbia.

Telus' speeds in Victoria were especially breathtaking. We tested up and down the Victoria metro area, from Sidney all the way out to Sooke, and saw amazing speeds of 462Mbps in the James Bay area. Rogers, meanwhile, fluctuated dramatically in Victoria, going as far as to drop to 3G by Butchart Gardens while Bell and Telus maintained LTE connectivity.

Freedom's results at our 20 stops across the Vancouver area were similar to what we saw in other major cities. Its LTE speeds are competitive, especially at half the price of the other major carriers. But it needs to work on LTE reliability. We ran into some Freedom LTE dead spots at SFU and in Port Moody, and while the phone successfully dropped to 3G, it's competing with a Telus LTE network that can be ten times as fast.

New Brunswick

New Brunswick is a very rural province, so we had to scatter our testing. Along with the province's biggest towns, we went up to Miramichi, and also checked out Sackville and St. Stephen.

Bell dominates New Brunswick like it has for several years now. Rogers' performance is distinctly slower than Bell's and Telus's overall. That said, we saw some interesting factors in New Brunswick. In Saint John, for instance, our Bell phone reported much faster speeds than our Telus phone did. Looking at Telus' high ping times, we have to surmise that there was an issue with its core network in Saint John at the time. That just cements our decision that Bell is best in New Brunswick.

Eastlink has just entered Moncton, and it says it's going to be covering more of NB over the coming year. Its promotional prices are a bit lower than Virgin and Koodo, but right now it has much slower performance and not much native coverage in the province.

Newfoundland

We'd never been to the Rock before, so we took a road trip. We tested 15 locations on the Avalon Peninsula, as well as making two stops each in Gander and Deer Lake/Corner Brook.

Newfoundland is essentially a one-carrier province. The combined Bell/Telus network is the only one with province-wide LTE coverage. Rogers also covers St. John's and Corner Brook with LTE, but for much of the rest of Newfoundland, it relies on its "extended network," which means roaming on Bell. While you can certainly sign up for Rogers in Newfoundland, the company warns that if you spend "a majority of your time" on the extended network, it'll cut off your service. In any case, we found Rogers' speeds to be inferior to Bell and Telus province-wide.

St. John's may be the edge of North America, by the way, but it's fully connected when it comes to LTE. We saw 98 percent consistency in Bell LTE connectivity across the Avalon Peninsula, and outlying areas aren't left out. Some of our fastest speeds came in Torbay, Flatrock, and Pouch Cove.

Eastlink has just started covering the immediate St. John's area, with roaming in the rest of the province on Bell. We found Eastlink's current network to be significantly slower and less reliable across the Avalon Peninsula than the other major carriers.

That leaves your decision between Bell and Telus. Bell's network looks to be a little more optimized across the province, giving us better overall results (Telus' win in Corner Brook comes because our Bell phone dropped to 3G for a little while). But we'd suggest you take up whichever of those two carriers offers you a better deal.

Nova Scotia

Bell dominates Nova Scotia this year, a switch from previous years when Eastlink's consistency would win the day.

We drove across more of Nova Scotia this year than we did in previous years. As before, we stopped in 12 locations around Halifax, as well as Amherst, Truro, and New Glasgow. We also drove up onto Cape Breton Island, through Port Hawkesbury, and up to North Sydney.

The story here is that Bell (and Telus) is getting faster, and Eastlink isn't. While Eastlink's speeds were pretty consistent with last year's, Belus' results leaped ahead dramatically, with peak speeds over 300Mbps. Now, peak speeds don't tell the whole story—Eastlink's well-managed, slower network runs on par with Rogers', which has higher peak speeds—but the difference was just too much for Eastlink to overcome.

I'm also going to throw a little shade at the regional carrier for neglecting eastern Nova Scotia. Eastlink hasn't built its own network in Guysborough County and much of Cape Breton Island, relying on Bell roaming there. As Nova Scotia's hometown player, it should do better.

Ottawa

Ottawa remains Canada's most competitive wireless market, because it's the only place with five viable carriers: the Big Three, but also Freedom and Videotron. In this competitive market, Telus set itself apart this year as easily the fastest choice.

Similarly to other Ontario and Quebec cities, Bell and Telus appear to be using four-carrier aggregation compared with Rogers' two carriers, resulting in speeds that are about twice as fast. Telus' speeds in Ottawa outpaced Bell, which it shares a radio network with, on uploads, downloads, and latency. That means Telus has been working on a highly efficient backhaul and core network on both sides of the border in Ottawa, and it really shows.

Freedom seems to be especially short of spectrum in the Ottawa area. While the carrier had solid LTE availability in the urban parts of the capital area, speeds were choked down all around to levels that weren't much better than Freedom's old 3G network. Its performance isn't likely to get much better soon, because Videotron is holding onto spectrum in Eastern Ontario rather than selling it to Freedom, as it recently did in Southern Ontario.

Wireless plan rates are much lower in Quebec than in Ontario, so if you can get an 819 number rather than a 613/343, you'll be able to get much lower rates for the same Bell and Telus coverage. Otherwise, Videotron is the best deal in Ottawa. While its speeds can't match Bell and Telus, it has a reliable, consistent broadband experience, and its price of $49 for a 6GB plan (bring your own phone) is half of what the other carriers charge Ontario residents.

Prince Edward Island

Just as we saw in Nova Scotia, Bell and Telus' huge leap forward in speeds on PEI has eclipsed the reliable, locally run Eastlink network. The two carriers run the same radio network, and we often found their results to be very, very close. That was certainly the case on PEI, where they ended up tied.

We stopped in seven places in the Charlottetown area, two in Summerside, and three in the rest of the island. Results were consistent across the board; Bell/Telus were fast, Eastlink was reliable, and Rogers was slow. Our Rogers device also dropped off of LTE more often than the other carriers.

The fastest spot we saw was outside the Walmart in Charlottetown, which is funny because it's very close to a self-proclaimed Bell slow spot north of the university nearby. That just shows how much speeds and coverage can vary, quarter mile by quarter mile, depending on terrain and network buildouts.

Quebec

In a big change this year, Telus took both of our big cities in Quebec, while Videotron hung on with a reliable network in the province's smaller metro areas.

We made 20 stops around Montreal, 10 in Quebec City, and two in each of the smaller cities we tested. Last year, Videotron swept its home province thanks especially to very low latency, which helps web pages render quickly.

But Videotron shares its network with Rogers, and they're both a generation behind Bell and Telus when it comes to the latest LTE technologies. This year, Bell and Telus leapt ahead with speeds that were often double their competitors'. But that premiere network has only been installed in larger cities: Head out to Drummondville or Trois-Rivieres, and you won't get the 300Mbps speeds we saw in Montreal and Quebec. While Bell and Telus win on population, Videotron is still making a strong play for geography.

Telus stepped in front of Bell with very low latency this year. The 20ms latencies we saw in Montreal were some of the lowest we found anywhere in the country, and that means very responsive web pages for Telus costumers.

Saskatchewan

Telus and Rogers split the wins in Saskatchewan.

Rogers actually did even better than our results show, because of how we calculate our Speed Score. Saskatchewan appears to be the one province where Rogers' download technologies are more advanced, with more bandwidth, than Bell and Telus. We saw higher peak speeds on Rogers than on the other two carriers, everywhere except Swift Current. But Telus won in Saskatoon because sheer download speeds are only 20 percent of our score, and Telus had better upload speeds and less latency.

SaskTel, the locally owned, low-cost provider, declined to be part of our study this year. So we checked its speeds against the other competitors using Ookla's crowdsourced Speedtest Intelligence dashboard. Ookla shows SaskTel to be the slowest LTE carrier in Saskatchewan.

Southern Ontario

Telus may rule in Toronto, but Bell takes the crown in most of our other southern Ontario cities. The two carriers share much of their radio network, so the difference in performance tends to come down to how they have their core networks configured.

That said, Bell's network looks to be configured much better than Telus' in smaller southern Ontario cities. It doesn't show up so much in our speed score, but Bell is delivering much higher download speeds than Telus is in Hamilton and Kitchener/Waterloo, for instance. Telus won Windsor, however. Telus has won Windsor before; we're not sure why Windsor often breaks differently than other nearby metro areas. In any case, both Bell and Telus subscribers are getting world-class speeds in southern Ontario. Rogers is significantly behind those two carriers on technology, with speeds that are often half.

Our travels through southern Ontario showed the limits of Freedom Mobile's advances so far. The low-cost carrier hasn't turned on LTE yet in London or Windsor, giving it a much slower experience in those two cities. Our Freedom phone also kept dropping to 3G in Hamilton, including at the Lime Ridge shopping center and in Bayfront Park, which should be well-covered spots. That makes us hesitant to recommend Freedom here except for real bargain hunters, until Shaw turns on some more towers. Fortunately, MobileSyrup reports that LTE should be active in Windsor and London by the time this story is published. The key, then, will be filling in gaps in coverage.

Toronto

For the first time, Telus wins the crown as Toronto's fastest wireless network. The win was narrow, as Telus and Bell share a lot of network elements and offer very similar performance. But slightly more balanced speeds and a slightly more optimized network won it for Telus by a nose.

We tested 20 locations across the GTA. We also treated several neighboring Southern Ontario cities as separate metro areas, which you'll find on a separate page. As you'd expect from Canada's metropolis, Toronto had the highest peak speeds in the nation. Our fastest test anywhere, at 479Mbps down, was recorded on Telus in northwest Toronto near the 400/401 interchange.

Rogers isn't doing a lot to compete, especially when faced with new entrant Freedom. Now that Freedom's LTE network is up and running in Toronto, we found that it's just as fast as Rogers is, while charging only half as much. That's a great deal! Freedom still isn't up to the Big Three in terms of reliability, although it's getting there. Our Freedom phone dropped to 3G down at Scarborough Bluffs Beach, although it didn't completely drop its connection like it did back in the bad old Wind days.

Winnipeg

Telus took Winnipeg this year by offering the best consistent broadband experience. Our nationwide winner hit number one here with uploads and downloads that were above our threshholds more often than any other choice, meaning that your Telus experience will have fewer speed bumps and roadblocks than others.

Bell also improved this year, but while the carrier is aggressively investing in its own network, it's not doing the same for its new subsidiary MTS. Bell MTS still offers unlimited data starting at $75 per month; you can't get unlimited data on any of the nationwide carriers. But it's on a noticeably slower network than the mainline Bell network, although it's known to be reliable.

Bell has only pledged to keep the existing service plan structure through early 2018, which means unlimited data may be going away in Manitoba. Meanwhile, rural ISP Xplornet says it will launch a competing wireless service in Manitoba in 2018, which could change the competitive landscape. Xplornet will have an uphill battle to be competitive with Bell and Telus, though, as its 40MHz of spectrum simply isn't enough to offer speeds competing with what the two leading carriers are showing now.
