Back in July Rogers announced it was launching its 21 Mbps HSPA+ Network. Today it announced it is now live in Canada’s five largest cities: Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. Throughout next year, Rogers plans to expand the new network upgrade to additional Canadian cities. Currently only Rogers new Internet Stick is the only device that supports 21 Mbps. So what does this mean for iPhone users?
The iPhone 3G has a maximum speed of 3.6 Mbps while the 3GS tops out at 7.2 Mbps. Of course in the real world neither reach those speeds. But, with the 21 Mbps upgrade to the Rogers network, we could see results a little closer to the max speeds.
Are you in one of the cities seeing the upgrade today? I’d love to hear what your speed tests yield. Leave me a comment.
