What will happen to my existing recharge?
If you have an existing recharge at this date, you’ll continue to have access to uncapped 5G and 4G speeds with your existing recharge. Capped download speeds will apply on your first recharge from 4 April 2023.
Browse our Pre-Paid plans to see what caps apply.
What is a capped download speed?
Your capped download speed is the maximum potential download speed for data included in your recharge. Typical speeds may often be slower and will vary due to factors including location, distance from the base station, local conditions, concurrent users, hardware and software configuration and download/upload destination.
