This is a Postpaid 4G Home Internet Service which includes Unlimited Data Allowance for use within Australia in selected areas. This plan is a subscription plan that does not include paper bills and requires you to set up automatic payments (i.e. direct debit) via a credit, debit or charge card as the only payment method for these plans.

If you cancel your eligible plan or move to an ineligible plan before the expiry of your DPP, your DPP will be cancelled and you’ll need to pay out the remaining device payments in full.
The speeds on the 4G Internet Unlimited plan are limited to a maximum download speed of 25Mbps and a maximum upload speed of 8Mbps. 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.
