By Adriano Marchese

Telus has earmarked 17 billion Canadian dollars ($12.43 billion) to upgrade its network infrastructure and operations in the province of British Columbia over the next five years.

The Canadian telecom company said Monday that the investment is part of its broader C$73-billion commitment to invest across Canada to develop infrastructure, advance network technology and improve sustainability.

As part of the improvements, Telus plans to enhance its 5G network in the province by doubling the number of new cell towers built in 2023.
