TORONTO, June 22, 2026 /CNW/ - TELUS is celebrating recognition as Canada's most-awarded wireless network ever by Opensignal — a milestone that reflects the company's commitment to delivering reliable, superior network services and world-class customer experiences.

TELUS President and CEO Darren Entwistle accepts an Opensignal trophy from James Hayman on behalf of TELUS, celebrating its status as Canada's most awarded network.

Under Darren's leadership, TELUS has set a new benchmark for Canadian telecommunications, dominating Opensignal's February 2026 report with ten top honours across critical performance categories. TELUS has won more Opensignal network awards than any other Canadian provider since Opensignal began ranking Canadian performance in 2017. This underscores not only technical excellence but also the strategic vision and operational discipline that have positioned TELUS as a Canadian network leader.

"Our TELUS team is proud to accept this trophy from U.K.-based Opensignal as Canada's most awarded network ever," said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO of TELUS. "This accolade is a meaningful reflection of our team's commitment to delivering exceptional download speeds and unbeaten coverage, quality and reliability for the millions of consumers and businesses that rely on our world-leading networks. These outcomes are the direct result of sustained investments in spectrum, customer experience and Canadian engineering excellence. Moreover, they position TELUS to continue leading as data demand, applications and customer expectations accelerate.

"Importantly, it is thanks to the incredible skill and efforts of our talented engineers, technologists, network innovators and product developers that Canadians can count on our world-leading networks to access the vital social, health and economic opportunities that improve their lives," continued Darren. "Notably, the network they are building is facilitating critical, transformational change in respect of health, education, teleworking, the environment and the economy. Most importantly, our global best networks – built by these exceptional team members – are helping to bridge digital divides so that every member of our society has the opportunity to realise their full potential. On behalf of the TELUS team, thank you to our customers, shareholders and community partners for enabling us to build Canada's most awarded network!"

The Opensignal accolades span categories that directly impact how Canadians work, learn and communicate in an increasingly connected world, such as 5G coverage, gaming experience, download speeds, reliability, and overall network consistency. TELUS' 10 awards demonstrate comprehensive network dominance across the full spectrum of customer needs.
