As I was able to see they start to deploy in order to aggregate 4 bands for 5G+. I mean only 600 and 700MHz have a good penetration through buildings. Rogers already have a good spectrum and will share with Videotron so they will not sale. Telus and Bell only have 2 times 5MHz wide apart for 700MHz while Rogers next to each other so faster speeds. I think Telus just put a priority on 3500MHz for now but only newer phones support it and available outside... Better to have stability than advertising crazy speed.
Anyone from Telus in this forum? ETA on band 71? I will have to call tech support again to maybe have answers.

I agree. The Telus network in terms of deployment and technology though, only makes sence from a value standpoint. Band 71n71 is by far the best for indoor and dense areas, including underground.
- Mathsss2 years agoOrganizerDiscussed with technician and told me 600MHz will be deployed within 6-12 months from now 😞 20 tickets within a month in my region and nothing planned to help. They escalated the ticket but not sure it's gonna help. Should have more news within a week.
BTW able to see other carrier B71 so my phone if working ok
