TORONTO — Rogers Communications Inc. has rolled out its high-speed 5G wireless service to its own customers in core parts of Toronto's downtown subway network, as it continues to feud with the other major carriers over access for all transit riders.
The company said it has also upgraded the cellular network to provide all subway riders with more reliable access to 911 service in the same areas."We’re working hard to modernize and expand the network so all riders can reliably access 911 and connect to 5G everywhere across the subway system, including underground," he said in a statement.
Rogers bought the Canadian operations of BAI Communications, which had owned the rights to provide wireless service on the Toronto subway, in April. The federal government launched a consultation process last month in a bid to speed up negotiations among the major carriers. Bell and Telus both have advocated for a joint build of the subway's 5G network using a consortium model similar to that of Montreal's Metro system, rather than a pay-for-access approach. Rogers has not publicly committed to either model.

What's better for a city's economy: Taylor Swift or the FIFA World Cup? | Day 6 | Live RadioIf you're on the waitlist for tickets to one of Taylor Swift's Toronto concerts, you’re in the good company of some 30 million people. T-Swift’s six shows in Toronto next year are estimated to draw some 300,000 concert-goers, with a big economic boon on the line for the city. So big in fact, some say it’s making Toronto’s World Cup deal look bad. The city will be hosting a part of the 2026 World Cup games along with the US and Mexico.
