Coverage and Serviceability

The Optus 4G Home Internet service uses our 4G network and it is designed to be used in the home. The 4G Internet Service is only available in selected areas on the Optus 4G Plus network with the modem supplied by Optus. There may also be technical or commercial reasons that affect your ability to access the service at your address. The service cannot be used overseas.

Coverage availability will vary depending on your device and location. A service qualification (SQ) and coverage check based on your address will be conducted before your order is accepted.

The SQ check is an indication that your chosen location is within a 4G Home Internet serviceable area, it does not guarantee that your address is 4G serviceable. We recommend that you position your modem close to a window to maximise signal strength.

When moving address, you are required to check your serviceability at optus.com.au/4ghomeinternet.

Speed

The speed on the Optus Plus Everyday Basic 4G plan has been limited to a maximum speed of 25Mbps download 8Mbps upload.

Data speeds for the 4G Internet Service are variable and for basic internet connectivity. Your 4G Internet Service speeds may differ from mobile and mobile broadband speeds on our 4G network.

The Typical Busy Period Speeds advertised are the typical expected download and upload speeds experienced between 7pm and 11pm, which is the busy time for residential consumer Internet traffic (based on a representative group of customers).

The actual speed you will experience at any given time will vary depending on a number of factors including network (i.e., signal, proximity, line of sight, or congestion), location (i.e., modem placement, distance from the Optus 4G tower, geography, obstructions), and other factors (such as weather, hardware, software, etc.). See: optus.com.au/4gspeeds to learn more.

Customers on eligible 4G Internet plans are covered by the Optus Coverage Commitment.

Data

The Optus Plus Everyday Basic 4G plan comes with an unlimited data allowance, subject to the Optus Fair Go Policy. Data sharing or pooling is not available for Optus 4G Home Internet.

Equipment needs and device payment plan

These plans can only be used with the Optus-supplied modem. If you're on a 24-month Optus 4G Internet Unlimited Plan, you will be provided with the Optus modem and your device repayments will be reduced by -to-month plan, you will need to purchase the Optus modem at an upfront cost, which will be advised at the time of purchase, in order to use this plan. The SIM supplied with the modem will not work in any other device and must not be removed from the modem.

Minimum term

New and existing customers can connect to a 4G Internet plan on a month-to-month contract. The minimum total cost for each month-to-month plan includes the total cost of the modem and the one month on us offer applied.

Minimum term and charging commence when your service is activated. Service activation occurs when the modem is delivered to your address or if in-store, when the modem is handed to you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tim Slade and his “associates” were absolutely fantastic! As someone newly arrived in Australia, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through the process. Tim, originally from England, understood how unfamiliar and overwhelming everything could feel. His knowledge, patience and reassuring manner—together with the practical know-how of his trusted “associates”—made the entire experience straightforward and stress-free. Thanks to their guidance, I successfully arranged my electricity, gas and internet connections. Excellent service from beginning to end. I would happily recommend Tim and his associates to anyone, especially those setting themselves up in Australia for the first time.
