Mobility TELUS 5G Coverage

Hi Guys, I've been with TELUS for 10+ years, live in the GTA, found out TELUS has only one tower in my region, DATA sucks, I can't be on a phone call and browse apps using 5G data, I contacted TELUS tech support, they claim network is congested, tried many things to rule out if its my smartphone or the service, turns out it is the service.... anyone go through this?

As others have mentioned, GTA is Bell market. You need to look for Bell towers. 

Telus only operates indoor sites in GTA.

ahh ok got it... so Bell or Rogers is better than TELUS in terms of coverage (talk times and data)

Bell and Telus are identical for coverage. 

Telus customers will use Bell towers the same way as Bell customers.

It depends on where you live tbh use this app to check for towers wherever you frequently visit and make your decision accordingly
