Residents of some of Canada’s biggest cities are now sitting on near-LTE speeds thanks to Rogers’ continued rollout of 21Mbps HSPA+, a technology it proudly boasts is “replacing 3.5G” and stands a fighting chance of offering real-life double-digit speeds. That’s pretty amazing when you consider that a lot of people are still using 768kbps or 1.5Mbps DSL lines in their homes — ten years ago, we doubt anyone would’ve predicted that practical wireless speeds would be running neck-and-neck with some of the fastest wireline broadband ISPs have to offer — but we’re certainly not complaining. In addition to Toronto, service is now available in Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Montreal, with a new modem cutely named HSPA+ Rocket coming to take advantage of those speeds on the 28th of the month. Interested parties can preorder now, though: $199.99 or $74.99 on a two-year data contract.
