TELUS announced it is bringing the fastest PureFibre home internet to Western Canada with the introduction of its PureFibre 5 Gigabit Internet plan, a substantial leap forward in internet technology, offering customers the fastest symmetrical download and upload speeds. As the only 100% pure fibre-to-the-home provider in Western Canada, TELUS continues to push the envelope, delivering unparalleled Internet speeds and sustainable, reliable technology to customers in Alberta and British Columbia. The PureFibre 5 Gigabit Internet plan includes next-generation, award-winning Wi-Fi 6E hardware, allowing individuals and families to seamlessly enjoy gaming, web surfing, video calling, working and learning from home, and streaming in 4K.

TELUS is testing 25 Gigabit PON access technology with Nokia to deliver cutting-edge connectivity solutions. This new speed tier will allow TELUS to meet future high-bandwidth demands for connected homes and applications such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), the Metaverse, cloud computing and storage, head-mounted displays (HMDs), Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and immersive collaboration. By leveraging existing fibre optic infrastructure, TELUS can deliver this advanced technology without needing to build a new network, and is set to increase speeds beyond 5 Gigabit, delivering up to 25 Gigabits to customers in the next few years.

The PureFibre 5 Gigabit Internet starts from $145 per month on a two year plan.
