Information about the service

Important information about this plan

Service not available to all areas, premises or customers.

Your plan does not include a phone line. You will not be able to make or receive calls, or support a lift or medical or security alarm which relies on a phone line to operate. If you require a phone line please contact us to discuss if this plan is right for you.

Data Allowance

Once you exceed your included data allowance, your speed will be capped at 1.5Mbps download for the Basic and Essential plans, 25Mbps download for the Premium plan, and slowed further in busy periods until your next billing cycle. You will not have the option to purchase more data or top up with these plans.

  • Basic and Essential: 1.5Mbps supports some ordinary internet activity (e.g. web browsing, social media, data calls), although limited to a single user at any time and content may be slow to load. 1.5Mbps isn't suitable for large file downloads, HD and 4K video or other high-data speed applications like video conferencing or gaming, and may not support ordinary use of internet-dependent medical devices
  • Premium: 25Mbps is suitable for 1-3 people using multiple connected devices. It will allow simultaneous streaming of multiple Standard Definition (480p) videos, emails, web browsing and social media. Or streaming of a single High Definition (1080p) video, if there are no other online activities.  

5G Internet Plan Network Access and Speeds

Speeds experienced may be slower over Wi-Fi and can also be impacted by other factors such as the distance and line of sight between the serving 5G mobile tower and the modem, the number of users online, where your modem is located and how far your connected devices are from it, weather, congestions and your in-premises set up. Speeds will change over time.

Geolocking

Our 5G Internet Plans include a Telstra Smart Modem which is a fixed modem device. You may only use your modem at the address you provided when you took up this plan. If you move your modem outside your area your download speeds will be capped at a maximum of 1.5Mbps. 

If you move address, you may no longer be eligible for the 5G Internet Plan. If you intend to move, please contact us to discuss whether your plan can be moved with you. If it can’t be, it will be cancelled and you will need to return your modem.

Changing or cancelling your plan

There are no Early Termination Charges if you cancel your plan.

If you cancel your plan within 24 months of connecting you will need to return your Telstra Smart Modem to us in good working order within 21 days. We will provide you with a prepaid eParcel consignment ID to return the device.

Good working order means returning the modem as new with only minor signs of wear and including all original equipment (e.g power cable).  If you do not return your modem or it is not returned in good working order, we may charge you a non-return fee of $200.

Changes to your plan

From time to time we may make changes to your plan or add-ons (including price and inclusions), or we may move you to a new plan (which may cost more). If we reasonably think that a change is likely to be detrimental to you, we'll tell you at least 30 days before making it.

If you don't like the change you can cancel your plan and return your 5G modem.

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.

How can I monitor my usage?

You receive SMS alerts in near real-time when you reach 50%, 85% and 100% of your Monthly Data allowance. To check your usage, use the My Telstra app on your compatible smartphone or tablet. Find out how to check your usage at telstra.com/myusage

FairPlay Policy

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

Can I cancel my plan?

Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time by calling us on 13 22 00 (Personal) or 13 20 00 (Business), 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.
