If you live in the province of Manitoba and you’ve been wanting a choice in cell phone providers with 3G/HSPA+ service, you now have it. Up until now, Bell has had a very tiny 3G/HSPA+ footprint, mostly around Winnipeg. But now Rogers has announced that they will be bringing 3G/HSPA+ service to 96% of the Manitoba population:
“We’ve listened to Manitobans and know they want a reliable experience and more choice. Now the countdown is on for the fastest mobile speeds available in Manitoba,” says Rogers GM for Manitoba, Laura Kwiatkowski. “We’re pleased to offer a new network to new customers that switch to Rogers and existing customers that will enable them to connect to what matters to them, anywhere within our new coverage area, anytime, on any device.”
This major network expansion will both improve and considerably expand Rogers’ wireless coverage in Manitoba. Rogers already offers service in Winnipeg and southern Manitoba and is expanding into Manitoba’s northern communities while, at the same time, upgrading the existing Rogers’ coverage footprint in Manitoba to high speed 3G+/HSPA+. The new network will significantly increase Rogers 3G+/HSPA+ coverage to service 96 per cent of Manitobans as it brings choice to many new markets including Thompson, The Pas, Flin Flon and more.
In addition to vastly improved quality of voice coverage, this new 3G+/HSPA+ network will provide Manitobans with mobile Internet service at download speeds of up to 21 megabits per second – the fastest speeds available in Manitoba. Rogers will bring to Manitobans, in several areas for the first time, cutting edge smartphones, tablets and mobile broadband devices as well as the opportunity for data sharing between devices.
I would say that Bell has to respond to this as this is going to get the attention of cell phone users in that province. March 31st is the launch date, so citizens of Manitoba should mark that on their calendars.

Rogers Expands 3G/HSPA+ Service Into Manitoba
