The Telstra Mobile Network offers 4GX in all capital CBDs and selected suburban and regional areas and is progressively rolling out to more places. In non-5G coverage areas, you’ll automatically switch to our 4G or 3G. Telstra currently offers 5G in select areas and is progressively rolling it out to other areas. Heavy data users (users in the top 1% of all data users) may experience slower speeds than other users during busy periods. However, you can still stream video in standard definition, listen to music, browse the web and access social media, even if the experience is slower sometimes.
This isn’t suitable for HD video or high-speed applications and means that some webpages, videos, social media content and files may take longer to load. If you exceed your included data allowance, you won’t be charged extra but your speed will be capped at 1.5Mbps, and slowed further in busy periods. Speeds may vary due to factors such as location, distance from the base station, local conditions, concurrent users, hardware and software configuration and download/upload destination. To see if 5G is in your area, use our 5G coverage checker. To access 5G, you’ll need a 5G compatible device in a 5G coverage area.
Our 5G network now reaches over 75% of Australians. With your plan’s included data, enjoy greater speed, more capacity and less latency with our fastest 5G network access.
