Upfront Internet Plans

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. Your mobile backup connection is capped at 25Mbps for downloads and 5Mbps for uploads. Actual speeds may be less due to local conditions and content accessed. 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 4G Fixed Wireless operates solely on the 4G network, without any back up system.

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

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

The type of service offered may need further qualification checks to determine what’s available at your location.

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.

Broadband speeds vary due to a number of factors, including:

• Type of technology available at your address
• Network capacity
• Set up at your premises
• Device connection (Wi-Fi vs Ethernet cable)
• The number of users online

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.
