Telus/Bell starting to roll out their 3G network in Manitoba

Wow, it was a year ago when rumours started that Telus was finally going to bring service to Brandon, but after a few months, Telus cancelled that completely - Some say Telus was waiting for MTS to launch their new network that'll never happen - so they could just roam off them, but probably not.
Looking on Bell's website today (which has partnered with Telus), their HSPA 3G+ coverage map has been updated, showing that there are plans to bring their network to Brandon-Winnipeg like planned a year ago. They're also going to be covering all around Winnipeg, up to east side of Lake Winnipeg, and down to Steinbach. Telus is already putting up towers in Winnipeg area for the launch, so it's only a matter of time they'll be in Brandon, hopefully, this time. If they can launch before MTS/Rogers ever do, that'd be tarnishing Rogers/MTS even more!
