Information about the service

Telstra Smart Modem

If you have a Telstra Smart Modem it has backup from our 4G mobile network. You can use the 4G backup service in two scenarios - to get online until your broadband service is connected and when there’s a detected network upgrade or outage. Mobile backup is available to premises in 4G coverage areas. Check coverage at telstra.com/coverage. We do not support modems not supplied by Telstra. If you choose to use your own modem Telstra will not be able troubleshoot or conduct testing, if you have a connection issue, fault or speed issue you will be required to report these issues to Telstra.

Telstra Internet Optimiser

Included as an optional feature at no charge while you remain on an eligible plan with a compatible modem. For details, visit telstra.com.au/internet/internet-optimiser

Directory Listing

If you want your name, address or phone number included in the White Pages, you can ask for a listed number.

Service availability

The type of service offered may need further qualification checks to determine what’s available at your location. It is not currently available on Fixed Wireless.

Access Technology

We may change the technology that we use to provide your service from time to time. You must provide all reasonable assistance to implement the change. We will let you know before we make this kind of change unless the change will benefit you or have a neutral impact on you and we do not require your assistance to implement the change. Once your nbn service has been activated on the new FTTP infrastructure, your service cannot be changed back to your previous access technology.

Broadband Speeds

Broadband speeds vary due to a number of factors including your property's technology type, network capacity and set up at your premises.

A broadband service can never go faster than the maximum line speed available at your premises, so for FTTN/B/C customers we will confirm your actual speeds after connection. Typical nbn Fixed Wireless speeds may be lower than other nbn access types.

Checking your services and account

To check your usage or manage your account and services, register and login to My Account at telstra.com/myaccount or get the My Telstra app.

Fair Use Policy

You must comply with our Fair Use Policy and not use your services in an unreasonable or fraudulent manner or in a way that detrimentally interferes with the integrity of the network. We may take action if you breach the Fair Use Policy, including suspending or cancelling your service.

Satisfaction guarantee

If you’re a new Telstra Home Internet customer and you’re not happy with your service for any reason, let us know within 30 days of connecting and you can leave with no obligations. We’ll even refund your monthly plan fee for that first month. Find out more at telstra.com/guarantee

Can I cancel my plan?

Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time by calling us on 13 20 00, messaging us or visiting a Telstra store. When you cancel, your service will be disconnected immediately. We won't refund any money you've already paid and you'll need to pay out any remaining hardware or accessories in full when you cancel. 

Can Telstra change my plan?

From time to time we may make changes to your plan, including price and inclusions, or we may move you to a new plan (which may cost more). If we change your plan or move you to a new plan and we reasonably consider that change or move has more than a minor detrimental impact on you:

  • We’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice before making changes or automatically moving you to the closest available plan.
  • If you don’t like the changes or the new plan, you can cancel your plan. If you cancel your plan, you’ll need to pay out the remaining cost of your hardware, accessories or services in full.
