Bell AG

Bell, Canada's largest communications company, has launched Bell On-Demand Network, the country's first Network-as-a-Service platform aligned with Mplify-defined NaaS attributes, enabling customers to order, activate, manage, and scale network services through a single digital experience. The platform's initial offering, On-Demand Internet, is available in Ontario and Québec wherever fibre has been deployed, with additional networking, security, cloud connectivity, and automation capabilities planned over time. Built on Bell's fibre network and powered by Cisco infrastructure, the platform delivers on seven fundamental NaaS attributes: on-demand, observable, manageable, programmable, secure, modular, and flexible. Bell executives Mark McDonald and Costa Pantazopoulos highlighted the platform's ability to give customers real-time control and agility, while Cisco Canada CTO Cherif Gress and Mplify COO Kevin Vachon praised the collaboration and alignment with global NaaS principles.

Bell has been named Canada's Most Reliable Internet by Opensignal, the company announced today. The recognition is based on Opensignal's independent analysis of real-world broadband performance from February to April 2026. Bell also earned accolades for Canada's Most Consistent Internet Quality and Canada's Fastest Internet Upload Speeds, reinforcing its leadership across key performance metrics. These awards add to Bell's existing claim as Canada's Fastest Internet, based on Ookla Speedtest Intelligence data from the second half of 2025. Bell says the results reflect sustained investment in its fibre network.
