Overview

  • Rogers has begun offering Wi-Fi 7 to its 5G Home Internet customers in Quebec following its initial Canada Day debut in select Calgary areas.
  • Telus officially rolled out Wi-Fi 7 hardware in British Columbia on July 29, with phased launches planned next in Alberta and Quebec.
  • Wi-Fi 7 delivers up to four times faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6, leverages multi-link operation across bands for lower latency, and supports high device densities.
  • Telus’s new router is built with 65% recycled plastic, packaged in mainly recycled cardboard, and designed for repairability and reuse through its refurbishment program.
  • The rollout comes as Canadian households now average over 20 connected devices and have seen internet usage more than triple in the past five years.
