TELUS BRINGS ULTRA-FAST 3.0 GIGABIT INTERNET TO CUSTOMERS IN WESTERN CANADA

Telus Corp. has introduced a groundbreaking new tier of home Internet to PureFibre X customers in Alberta and British Columbia, giving them access to the fastest speeds in Western Canada. With symmetrical upload and download speeds of three Gbps (gigabits per second), PureFibre X three-gigabit Internet marks a substantial leap in the next generation of Internet technology. Telus is the only 100-per-cent fibre to the home in Western Canada, with the ability to seamlessly increase bandwidth and capacity to deliver unparalleled speeds to PureFibre customers.

"As a company with deep roots in Western Canada, we're incredibly proud of our proven track record of putting customers and communities here first," said Zainul Mawji, executive vice-president and president of Telus consumer solutions. "With PureFibre X three-gigabit Internet, Telus is continuing to provide leading Internet speeds and a seamless Wi-Fi experience so more of our valued customers can stay connected to the people and information that matters most."

The PureFibre X three-gigabit Internet plan includes next-generation award-winning Wi-Fi 6 hardware. By combining Wi-Fi 6 technology with PureFibre X, households will experience even faster Internet speeds on more devices, allowing individuals and families to seamlessly enjoy gaming, surfing the Web, video calling, working and learning from home, and streaming in 4K.

Telus's PureFibre network achieved industry-leading results in PCMag's 2023 Speed Index and Broadband report, taking home top honours as the unrivalled Fastest Internet Service Provider in Canada for the fourth year in a row, and the Best Internet Service Provider in Alberta and B.C. This latest recognition from PCMag complements the countless accolades Telus has earned over the years for its world-leading networks, including Telus's recognition in Opensignal's April, 2023, Canada Fixed Broadband Experience Report for consistent quality, video experience and upload speed in B.C. and Alberta, and first place in B.C. for broadband success rate. Telus also posted strong results in B.C. and Alberta for peak download speed, first in Alberta for broadband success rate, and from Netflix as offering the best streaming experience among Canadian competitors. These results demonstrate Telus's network dominance in fixed broadband in Western Canada, solidifying Telus's position as the home Internet provider to beat when it comes to network quality, experience and speed.

Along with unparalleled connectivity, Telus's PureFibre network also provides significant sustainability benefits. The fibre optic technology uses less energy to transmit data compared with traditional copper-based networks, resulting in a lower carbon footprint and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the network's new speed tier unlocks the future potential for connected homes and offers an integrated experience where every member of the household can stay connected on multiple devices simultaneously without experiencing buffering or lagging like with lower-speed tiers.

Since 2000, Telus has invested nearly $240-billion in network infrastructure, spectrum and operations, and plans to invest $81-billion over all across Canada by 2027 to enhance the coverage, speed and reliability of its global-leading networks, and connect customers from coast to coast. Telus also has a long-standing commitment to strengthening relationships with indigenous peoples, including first nations, Metis and Inuit communities, acknowledging that its work spans many traditional territories and treaty areas. Through public-private partnerships, 504 rural communities and 577 indigenous lands have been enabled with Telus's advanced broadband connectivity, positively impacting more than 360,000 rural and indigenous households and businesses.

The PureFibre X three-gigabit Internet starts from $115 per month on a two-year plan. For more information on Internet plans, visit the company's wesite.
