Why 4G?
The Telstra 4G network is about speed – awesome data speed. With typical download speeds ranging from 2Mbps to 40Mbps in 4G coverage areas, it's up to twice as fast as 3G networks.
So you can make every second count – whether you're surfing the web at lightning speed or streaming your favourite videos with less buffering. It's all there for immediate enjoyment.
4G speeds are initially available in all capital CBDs, associated airports and selected regional locations and will seamlessly switch over to our fastest available 3G speeds in other coverage areas.
