Rogers LTE Max Coming To Manitoba [UPDATED]

Those Canadians in the province of Manitoba are likely a bit happier today. That’s because Rogers has announced that LTE Max is coming to their corner of the universe. Here’s what my contact at Rogers had to say:

Today, we’re very excited to announce we’re bringing LTE Max to Manitoba through a province-wide network sharing agreement with MTS.

Starting June 17th, we will roll out our premium LTE network that enables theoretical network speeds of up to 150 Mbps to customers in Winnipeg, Brandon, Victoria Beach, Grand Beach, Selkirk, Steinbach and Ste. Anne.  

With this agreement, we’re bringing Rogers LTE’s incredibly fast wireless experience to even more customers across Canada. As we expand to 44 markets this spring, and 95 in total by the end of 2013, we’re bringing Canadians the fastest wireless internet experience from coast to coast, from Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, to British Colombia.

Our customers also benefit from the largest selection of LTE devices in Canada, like the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC One or the BlackBerry Q10 and Z10.

We thank our Manitoba customers for their patience and are very happy to finally have LTE available for them.

The last sentence is key. Manitoba hasn’t always gotten top shelf telco service. Clearly Rogers is out to change that. Kudos to them for doing getting that done.

UPDATE: Rogers reached out to me with a clarification:

Victoria Beach, Selkirk, Steinbach and Ste. Anne are launching this year but are not live yet. But, Portage la Prairie was announced today as live!
