TORONTO, Aug. 21, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, Ookla®, a
global leader in fixed broadband and mobile network testing, confirmed that Rogers customers have access to Canada's fastest Internet. This is the fourth year in a row that Rogers Communications has captured the
title.² With these top speeds, Rogers customers can connect more of their Wi-Fi devices online at the same time, experience
online entertainment in rich video quality, and work from home using advanced apps and services.
"We are proud that Speedtest Intelligence results have once again proven that we offer the fastest Internet in
Canada," said Jorge Fernandes, Chief Technology Officer, Rogers
Communications. "As one of the market leaders with Ignite Internet, which has offered gigabit speeds across our cable
footprint since 2016, and our new Ignite TV service, these results help reinforce our commitment to providing our customers
with a fast and reliable home Internet experience today as well as preparing them for the technology of tomorrow."
Speedtest Intelligence® results also highlight that Rogers offers the fastest Internet in Canada's largest city, Toronto, in addition to Ottawa, London and others. Rogers claimed the top spot in
Canada based on over 17 million speed test results, including over 65 tests per minute by actual
customers.¹
