The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday edition that BCE can boast having the country's fastest wireless network for the second year in a row, according to PCMag data released Wednesday. The Post's Emily Jackson writes that BCE's Bell Mobility edged out its top competitors Telus and Rogers Communications to win top spot in PCMag's Fastest Mobile Networks Canada ranking. While Canadians often complain about expensive cellphone bills, the tech publication's study indicates that we get high-quality service in return. "All three of Canada's national carriers are faster and more reliable, on average, than their U.S. counterparts," PCMag reported, based on tests on both sides of the border. Bell clocked average national download speeds of almost 60 megabits per second. That is twice as fast as Verizon, the fastest network in the United States. Telus and Rogers also posted speeds that nearly doubled Verizon's, with national average download speeds of 53 Mbps and 43 Mbps respectively. PCMag called Bell's network "truly a world-class 4G experience." PCMag sent six drivers to 20 major cities to compare networks using the same software on the same devices at the same times over three weeks in July and August.
