Bell markets its fastest 5G Network deployed on 3500 MHz, mid-band spectrum as 5G+. In 2021, Bell secured 3500 MHz spectrum in urban and rural markets across the country and started deploying 5G Network on the band, delivering the fastest speeds to citizens of Canada.

Bell says 5G+ in Canada is the fastest mobile technology to date, optimized for demanding apps and services. With peak theoretical download speeds of up to 3 Gbps in certain areas, gaming, streaming, and video conferencing are expected to become faster and more efficient.
