The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that Freedom Mobile is adding 5G capability for some customers as its new parent company, Quebecor, implements network upgrades in accordance with orders from Ottawa. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post says that Freedom Mobile will begin offering 5G service to customers with plans that cost $45 per month or more in the Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton areas along with select cities across Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. It added it is planning 5G rollouts in other markets that are still to come. Freedom Mobile announced in May it would offer a $50 monthly plan, its first with national coverage, that includes unlimited calls and texts as well as 40 gigabytes of data usable throughout Canada and the United States. On Thursday, it unveiled two more Canada-wide plans eligible for 5G service including 30 gigabytes of monthly data for $45, plus unlimited talk and text, along with 50 gigabytes of data usable in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, for $65 per month. As part of conditions laid out by the feds in March, Quebecor's Videotron must offer plans at least 20 per cent lower than those of its competitors and spend $150-million to upgrade Freedom's network.
