Telus upgrades select EV-DO areas to Rev. A, 'full coverage' by year's end

While it's no big surprise, Telus has finally gone official with its EV-DO Rev. A details, explaining that Southern Ontario, Montreal, and Winnipeg can now enjoy the speedy luxuries of Rev. A technology. The speed boosts are part of a $100 million investment to roll out EV-DO across Canada, and while it seems that only select locales can look forward to average download speeds of approximately 450Kbps to 800Kbps at the moment, Telus did note that these "enhanced speeds" would grace "the company's full existing EV-DO coverage areas later this year." As for connecting up with the service, Telus will offer a variety of Sierra Wireless cards to fit a myriad of setups, and those springing for Panasonic's CF-19 or CF-30 Toughbook can jump right on if you purchase the embedded modem.

Nice to see my area getting updates this quickly, even the local monopoly MTS isn't at Rev A I don't think, could be wrong though, but they rolled out EVDO to some rural areas which is nice. Now if only Rogers would be slightly more quickly to implement HSDPA outside the golden horseshoe
