Starter Internet Plan

The type of service offered may need further qualification checks to determine what’s available at your location. It is not currently available on Fixed Wireless.

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

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

• Type of technology available at your address
• Any Speed Boost you may have purchased
• Network capacity
• Set up at your home
• Device connection (Wi-Fi vs Ethernet cable)
• The number of users online

An nbn 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 will be lower than other nbn access types. For information on nbn speeds, visit telstra.com/nbn-speeds-explained. If your plan doesn't include unlimited data and you exceed your monthly data allowance, your broadband speed will slow to 256Kbps until the next billing cycle.

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

From time to time we may make changes to your plan, including price and inclusions, or we may move you to a new plan (which may cost more). With no lock-in, you can change your plan once a month or leave. If you leave, just pay out your device, accessories or services in full. If we change your plan or move you to a new plan:

(a) We’ll give you at least 30 days' notice before making changes or automatically moving you to the closest available plan.

(b) If you don’t like the changes or the new plan, you can choose a new plan (once a month) or cancel your plan. If you cancel, you’ll need to pay out the remaining cost of your devices, accessories or services in full.

In addition to the monthly charge, you may pay the following charges:

You can change to another plan within your plan range once a month while the plan range remains available to new Telstra customers.

There are no Early Termination Charges if you cancel your plan. However, you will need to payout the remaining cost of your Telstra Wi-Fi Modem (if you received a modem included in your plan) if you cancel your plan within 24 months of connecting, and any outstanding Hardware Repayment Option repayments will be payable in full.

Fees and charges may apply for bill delivery and payment of your invoice, depending on the method.

We do have fee free options available - more information is available at:

If you have an eligible Pensioner Concession card, you can apply to receive:

• A $15/mth call allowance which can be used for international calls
• Discounted connection charge for eligible customers
• Waiving of Payment Processing and Late Payment fees

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.

Contact us if you wish to transfer to Telstra on the nbn network. If you don’t, we’ll continue to provide your service up until the date on which we’re required by law to disconnect your services. No Telstra Wi-Fi Modem device payout fee will be charged in these circumstances. If you are moving your service(s) to Telstra then you should not request your service(s) to be disconnected from your current provider until your Telstra service is operational.

If you’re a new Telstra Home Internet customer and you’re not happy with your service for any reason, let us know within 30 days of connecting and you can leave with no obligations. We’ll even refund your monthly plan fee for that first month. Find out more at telstra.com/guarantee

Available for diagnosed, life-threatening medical conditions where access to a Home Phone service is essential. Connection will occur within 24 hours for urban and rural areas, or 48 hours for remote areas.

Your bill is issued on the same date each month. You’re billed in advance for the minimum monthly charge, and in arrears for any usage not included in your plan. You may also be charged for individual services until all those in your plan are connected, so your first few bills may be higher or lower than expected. When you start or change your plan part way through a billing period, your first bill will have additional charges. If you receive an Order Estimate, your charges will be broken down for you, and it will provide you with your ongoing monthly charges after your first bill.
