Are you on Telus and wondering what’s up with the recent rise in network interruptions? Well, wonder no more as we’ve got the lowdown on what’s been happening with Telus lately.
The interruptions are apparently being caused due to the installation of new HSPA equipment. This is part of Telus’ plan to implement an HSPA network which is currently on track for a soft-launch as early as September 2. As a result, some of the existing CDMA antennas have had to be repositioned to make room for the new equipment. So, you can rest easy now knowing that the slight inconvenience you're experiencing is actually for the greater good and not just some negligence on their part.
Apart from Vancouver, we’re not yet sure which other regions in Canada will get to try out this new HSPA network from Telus. We are hoping, however, that everything goes well with the launch so that they can finally flip the switch to nationwide coverage come October. After which, we can look forward to their 4G LTE network in 2010.
