ST. JOHN’S — Saying it now has the largest 5G network in Nova Scotia, Bell Canada announced today the latest expansion of its 5G service in Atlantic Canada, which also includes the first 5G coverage in Newfoundland and Labrador, the company says.
Bell says its 5G network is now available in the Halifax Regional Municipality of Nova Scotia, as well as the Newfoundland and Labrador communities of St. John’s, Flatrock, Paradise, Portugal Cove and Wabana.
Bell’s 5G service is also available in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and the company says 5G will be expanded later this year into Charlottetown, P.E.I.
The company says it’s on track to reach approximately 70% of the Canadian population by the end of this year, as part of its accelerated capital investment plan. Bell has a special webpage dedicated to its 5G network, but the coverage map doesn’t appear to have been updated yet to include the eastern 5G expansion, as of the writing of this piece.
