Moving & Connect Broadband In The Right Way

If you’re looking for a 5G home internet plan, Optus provides customers in eligible areas with unlimited 5G home broadband. Optus provides a straightforward selection of 5G home internet plans, with the primary pricing distinction being based on speed limits. You can choose a plan with a 50Mbps speed cap, a 100Mbps speed cap, or an uncapped 5G plan—which maximises the fast speeds that 5G is capable of.

Pricing 

Optus doesn’t charge its mobile customers extra to access its 5G network because it offers 5G with all its phone plans. Postpaid plan options are still available for 4G-only phones and 5G-compatible phones.

You will be billed each month for your phone plan and the cost of returning the new phone if you add it to one of Optus 5G’s plans. The amount you pay each month for your phone will depend on the repayment period, and you can choose to divide the cost of your device over 12, 24, or 36 months.

If you choose a 5G home internet plan over a 4G home internet plan, you will pay a little bit extra for Optus 5G internet. But the 5G scheme. 

5G Optus Speed

Customers have reported peak speeds of 295Mbps, but real-world speeds may vary. However, you can expect a performance at least as fast as the NBN 50 speed tier. Optus is guaranteeing download speeds of 40Mbps on its cheapest 5G internet plan and 50Mbps on its two more expensive 5G home internet plans.

Potential speeds on Optus’ 5G mobile network aren’t as easy to find as its 5G broadband speeds. However, a report from internet speed testing company Ookla’s broadband speed test found that Optus was the fastest performing 5G network in Australia, reaching median download speeds of 323Mbps. This was reportedly 60% faster than other 5G networks.

Requirements for Modem

Your new service provider will also supply a modem with the features. Sometimes, this is provided at no cost as part of your package, but there may be an additional fee. If you already have a modem, contact your provider. Refer to their FAQs to check if it’s compatible with your plan. 

Using Your Existing Modem

If you opt not to receive a modem and your current one lacks the required features. Unfortunately the 4G and 5G modem is pre- configured and better to take it from service provider.

Several different technologies are used to deliver broadband internet, and their availability varies depending on one’s location. Your needs, preferences, financial situation, and place of residence will all influence the broadband internet service you select.

Fiber-optic

Fiber optics use light pulses to transport large amounts of data through fiber strands at the fastest possible speeds.

Wireless

Instead of using cables to connect a house or place of business to the internet, wireless broadband, or Wi-Fi, it uses radio signals. You will have to verify the availability

DSL 

Data is transmitted over conventional copper phone lines using DSL, or Digital Subscriber Lines.

Satellite & Cable

The same coaxial cables used to connect your TV’s picture and sound also carry high-speed internet.

However, satellite internet connectivity is made possible by communication satellites and is frequently the most advantageous choice in rural regions.

Moveinconnect offers internet connections with a range of providers including Optus, Tangerine, Dodo, More Telecom and Foxtel. Optus has a range of  4G and 5G plans. NBN uses underground cables to provide an internet connection, whereas 4G and 5G use mobile towers to supply consumers with an internet connection.

4G Optus

WiFi and Optus 4G Home Internet are related but distinct technologies with different uses. Optus 4G Internet provides internet access to your home by using nearby mobile towers to transmit a signal to your modem. After that, your modem sets up a WiFi network so you can access the internet wirelessly on devices like your laptop or phone. 

4G Optus Speed

Maximum download and upload speeds on Optus Plus Everyday Basic 4G plans are 25 Mbps and 5 Mbps, respectively. Variable data speeds are available for basic internet connectivity and 4G internet services. The speeds at which your 4G Internet Service and mobile broadband operate on our 4G network may not match.  

The network (signal, proximity, line of sight, or congestion), location (modem placement, distance from the Optus 4G tower, geography, obstructions), and other factors (weather, hardware, software, etc.) will all affect the actual speed you will experience at any given time.

When moving homes, you can take your 4G modem with you, making it easier to set up an internet connection, provided the area has 4G coverage. You can also switch to 5G without paying any cancellation fee. 

5G Optus

The Optus 5G network is still being introduced across the nation. Although Optus has constructed over 230 5G sites throughout Australia, even if the 5G mobile network covers your home, Optus 5G may not be available in your area if you’re looking at Optus 5G for your home broadband.

You can visit the Optus website and look up the Optus 5G coverage map to learn more about Optus 5G coverage and whether it is available where you live. Nonetheless, the following areas have widespread access to Optus 5G mobile coverage:

Melbourne’s Central Coast, Adelaide, Brisbane, Geelong West, Hawkesbury River, Freemantle Region, The Mornington Peninsula in Perth, Sydney’s Moreton Bay Region.
