Watch sport on Australian free to air TV
Free to air TV channels are still a great way to keep up with your live sport and most channels have a companion app that offers catch-up or on-demand viewing.
To make things even easier, you can watch free to air channels through the in-built tuner on your Telstra TV.
Stream sport with the speed of 5G
Bringing increased capacity, faster speeds and lower latency - 5G is great news for sports fans. If you have a 5G phone and plan, in a 5G overage area, you can enjoy super-fast downloads, extra responsiveness and less buffering.
Telstra built Australia’s first 5G network and it’s rapidly growing, check our coverage maps to find out more.
Streaming at home? Optimise your Wi-Fi coverage.
Streaming works best when you have access to reliable home internet – there’s nothing worse than losing connection at the crucial match winning moment.
If your family likes to spread out and stream sport on separate screens, you’ll also want wall-to-wall Wi-Fi coverage. The new Telstra Smart Wi-Fi Booster connects you to the optimal Wi-Fi signal and delivers more consistent Wi-Fi speeds with less video buffering - even as you move from room to room.
Now is a great time to get your home internet sorted – just in time to enjoy an action packed season of non-stop sport.
