We are extremely proud of the many ways in which our mobile network is facilitating critical, transformational change in respect of health, education, teleworking, the environment and the economy. Perhaps most importantly, our world-leading networks are helping to bridge digital divides so that every member of our society has the opportunity to realize their full potential.”

This latest recognition from Opensignal complements the countless accolades TELUS has earned over the years for its world-leading wireless network. TELUS has also previously been recognized by other independent industry-leading experts, including US-based Ookla and PCMag, building on an outstanding record of achievement with respect to network excellence.
