The IT Nerd

Rogers ongoing plan to rule the LTE world continues with their announcement of LTE in Moncton NB:

Starting today, Moncton customers will have access to the Rogers LTE network with theoretical download speeds of up to 75 Mbps, with typical download speeds ranging from 12 Mbps to 25 Mbps. * These speeds are significantly faster than those Canadians experience on any other 4G HSPA+ wireless network.

More details can be found on RedBoard. But one of the main one that I’d like to point out is that a lot more cities are going to get the LTE love shortly:

Upcoming LTE launch cities  include Trois Rivières, Sherbrooke, Quebec City, Kingston, Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Niagara, Windsor, Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, London, Barrie, Sudbury, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Kelowna, Whistler, Abbotsford and Victoria. More cities will be launched in 2013

Nice! Since I’m talking about Rogers, let me toss one more thing. Rogers has a new ad campaign called “Rogers vs. Milos Raonic and Brett Lawrie.” For those of you not familiar with those athletes, Raonic is Canada’s top tennis player and Lawrie is the Canadian superstar playing for the Toronto Blue Jays. The campaign supports the new Rogers Ultimate Bundle which includes TV, Home Phone, and Internet. The point of the campaign is to demonstrate how fast the Internet in the new bundle is via some challenges that compares each athlete to the speed of Rogers Internet. You can find out more and see the ads on RedBoard.
