Network
No matter where your business takes you, enjoy Canada's only 100% LTE network for Voice and Data with extended nationwide coverage on the largest partner network in the country.
Our growing 5G network is now available in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P.E.I.
5G technology expansion will bring theoretical peak download speeds 100x faster than 4G LTE, meaning everything you do on a 5G network will be faster.
5G makes it possible to do more at once. 5G devices will eventually be able to manage multiple connections (10x more than 4G LTE) so you'll enjoy consistently fast speeds and performance.
As 5G technology expands it will provide devices with almost instantaneous response times, allowing for future applications such as self-driving cars, smart cities and more.

Of course! Areas not covered by our 5G network will continue to benefit from our fast 4G LTE network.
No, not at all. You can take advantage of our 4G LTE network. However, customers with a 5G-compatible device will be future-ready and will immediately experience the benefits of faster speeds/performance on our 5G network.
Extended coverage represents access to partner networks in Atlantic Canada and across the country, including the Bell, Rogers, and, now, Telus and Videotron networks. Access to LTE Extended coverage may be affected by various factors, including system availability, your device, and technical compatibility.
The map above is an approximate representation of Eastlink’s Wireless coverage. The actual coverage area may vary and is subject to change from time to time. Reception may be affected by various factors, including system availability, signal strength, your device, and environmental conditions.
Usage outside the Eastlink network may not be reflected on your bill until subsequent billing cycles.
