MONTREAL – Bell Canada is launching its 5G Plus Advanced mobile network, which it says will provide faster speeds and serve as a stepping stone toward 6G connectivity.
The technology runs on Bell’s latest wireless spectrum deployment and its new 5G stand-alone core network.
It says 5G Plus Advanced includes greater capacity, lower latency and faster speeds, with theoretical peak download speeds reaching 4.3 gigabits per second.
The telecommunications company says users will notice those improvements when using their phones for activities such as shopping, streaming, gaming and video chatting.
It’s currently available across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, with plans to expand next into the Niagara region.
Only the latest smartphone devices are compatible, such as Apple’s iPhone 17e, 17 series and 16 series, Samsung’s Galaxy S25, S24 series, Flip and Fold 7, Flip and Fold 6, and Google’s Pixel 9 and 10 series.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 5, 2026.
