          Depends what they're all doing. Just a few years ago I was on a 20GB/m 3G plan and I remember having 2-3 youtube videos playing at the same time. Not on the highest resolution but it's unnecessary 95+% of the time anyway - it's just people don't bother turning it down. Even now on 4G I play most videos at 240p, and when I do bump it to 480p I've had several playing simultaneously, and have downloaded large files at the same time. (So I'd be educating to adjust the behaviour of the people using it before paying more.)

          e.g. Get rid of netflix (etc) and teach them to use one of the various free methods of obtaining stuff. It's much like income… when a resource (seems to be - particularly to kids) unlimited, then there's no need for any kind of restraint. So people download stuff only to watch a few seconds of it then delete it. Or they leave resolution set to the highest quality even though they wouldn't remember the next day it had been a bit grainy on 240/360/480p.

          Conversely, when people know a resource is limited, they adjust their behaviour, or find ways around things like that reducing of resolution I mentioned, they download the whole thing while other people are in the shower rather than everyone streaming at the same time later, etc.

          To test it out if 4G would suffice you could always buy this for $4.90 https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-mobile-sim-prepaid-starte…, and if you don't want to wait for the blank SIM to arrive in the mail, go to a garage and buy one for $2 and activate it with the code they email to you shortly after buying.

          Please explain, cause I don't see any logic behind that.

          • Junnyjun on 09/12/2021 - 05:41

            @JungliChilli: “Not all addresses shown as '5G' in Telstra's mobile coverage maps will be eligible for 5G Home Internet. We want to make sure our customers have a great experience which is why the serviceability quality checker may show that 5G home is not available to customers who otherwise gets 5G coverage on their mobiles.

            Now, since FTTN is the only available technology type at the premise, I'm afraid we will not be able to provision this 5G Home Internet plan. We have other options though such as the $85 per month Core Internet plan, and the $95 per month Unlimited Internet plan. Would you like explore these options instead?“

            Thats what telstra said to me

                  @Junnyjun: Lol yeh fair. They have no idea what they are talking about or they just haven't phrased it correctly. What type of nbn technology available at your premise has nothing to do with if they can provide 5G home internet. There's a whole lot of other factors to consider, none of these considerations depend on your nbn connection type.

                  I've just checked a location I know is served with fttn and also know there's a Telstra 5G tower within 300m, and can confirm that Telstra can provide 5G home internet.

        • Junnyjun on 29/11/2021 - 05:57

          I dont know about vodafones home 5g but telstra and optus geolock their modems and you will get 1.5mb/s if its used outside of the address you signed up.

          • [Deactivated] on 29/11/2021 - 10:07

            @Junnyjun: Ridiculous. These types of plans (where a locked sim must be used in only one locked modem which only they supply) have always been something I avoid. (I wish everyone would… it's the only way to force change.) Geolocking tying you to one location, thus forcing you to buy two plans when you only really need one (so you can leave the house occasionally - access internet on your phone), 300-460m range… lol - if these are the "advances" of 5G they can shove it.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/11/2021 - 12:51

        As I posted above, ship it to someone else whose address does work - then they mail it on to you. Or ask Vodafone if you can activate a starter SIM from a garage/supermarket instead of waiting… if yes, hang up, go to Australia Post, fill out a mail redirection form redirecting mail to your name to an existing address in the other street (or one number higher than is actually in that street), tell Vodaphone you live there, but Australia Post redirects mail for only your name to that other/fake address to your real address. And there's probably more methods around it.

        • superozbargain on 28/11/2021 - 18:19

          would it work if it's 2km far away? I'm not worry about the speed, I might would Vodafone allows us to use that service?

          • [Deactivated] on 28/11/2021 - 20:27

            @superozbargain: Not sure. Maybe ask on Whirlpool. But I just checked and apparently 5G has a pitiful range of only 300-460 meters!

            You could try installing a smartphone app that shows which tower your phone is connecting to. ("Network Cell Info Lite & Wifi" is one. Install, then click on "Map".) Check in both areas whether you're connecting to the same tower (on 5G obviously). But that range doesn't look good.

    Good plan, but base on my experience with OPTUS, I am not sure if the Vodafone 5G will do better. The main reason is about the Nokia 5G modem provided is just a disaster. I am not sure if Vodafone will provide a different modem with OPTUS or not, but according to the website photo, they probably use the same one.

    The modem provided is so unstable and I have to reboot it multiple times per week. The only thing that the support team can provide is "please reboot the modem". Second, this firmware is locked by ISP so you cannot do some advanced settings, even DHCP. Third, you cannot connect a better BYO router after the 5G modem. Due to the double NAT, the connection will become even more unstable.

    Therefore, based on my experience, I would strongly recommend making sure with Vodafone if connecting a BYO router after the 5G modem is possible or not.

    • Buy2Much on 27/11/2021 - 22:15

      Vodafone does use the same Nokia Fast Mile Modem. However, Optus now use the Nokia Next Gen modem, don't know when Vodafone will follow suit.
      Anyway it's first month free so nothing ventured, nothing gained ;-)

      Vodafone uses the same modem.

      I am using Optus 5G with the Nokia modem. Very stable.

      I did get a new modem though. MY first modem didn't work at all. Troubleshooted for month before they just decided to give me a new modem. Been great for the last 11 months.

      • NWLikeShopping on 28/11/2021 - 04:12

        My first Nokia Fastmile apparently "broke" after an automatic firmware update earlier this year, about 6 weeks after I started using the Optus 5G service.

        The modem wouldn't see a 5G or even 4G signal.

        After a day of troubleshooting and interruptions to work :-(, I got them to issue me a temporary 4G wifi device with enough credit to survive whilst waiting for my replacement Fastmile, so that I could continue to work albeit at a slower speed. One annoying thing was that I couldn't just go to the Optus store across the street to pick up a new modem on the day. Their RMA process required that they ship it to me, which took a few days. (How on EARTH did you put up with issues for a month? I'd have had serious problems with my job if that had happened to me.)

        Interestingly after a day of troubleshooting, the bloke on the phone admitted that the firmware update had basically bricked the cellular radios on a number of customers' Fastmile modems and that the fix they'd found so far was to swap the modem out. I got the replacement 7-8 months ago and it's been mostly fine ever since. (Knock on wood. I think I've had to reboot it 3x in that many months.)

    Simsluting for years (even now), and I find Vodafone still fails. Download speed for 5G/4G fluctuate throughout the day, never consistence. That is not the issue. The issue is its garbage upload speed (which I need for work). It fluctuating between 0.5Mbps to 10 Mbps. Super unstable, and the damn tower is just four blocks away.

    Optus always consistent 15Mbps. Telstra is always 20Mbps+

    The deal is: From $35/mth for the first 12 months when you have a phone plan with us. Hurry, offer ends 30/11.

    Note that it only for existing customers. I will stick to my sim slutting, thanks.
    $5 bucks a month goes a long way for me :)

    Next months is completely free due to amaysim price error :)

    • Buy2Much on 27/11/2021 - 22:19

      Yep I do agree with you. From my experience, Vodafone upload speed (10-15mbps) is not too good compare to Optus 5G (20-30mbps). If you just watch stuff and mostly download then it's fine. WFH is just do-able but not ideal if you do alot of video teleconf.

    • Wystri Warrick on 27/11/2021 - 23:04

        Fellow many-year SIM-slutter here. I SIM-slutted for most of the time since 2012. My ONE foray into fixed line access in 2016 lasted around 3 weeks before it broke, and then the telco and the ISP started fighting over who was going to pay to diagnose it and they finally decided I had to pay for that, so I cancelled the service and went back to SIM-slutting.

        Upgraded to Optus 5G, get download speeds between 400-700mbps, upload of 20-45mbps. Only issue is the 28ms ping time. Tower around 150m away. Have to move early next year (thank you NSW no-grounds evictions). Will be testing Optus 5G coverage quietly from a phone when I go inspect alternative units, because price-performance-wise, I'm quite happy with it.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2021 - 22:16

    How do these SIM data plans work? Do you put the SIM card in a device to create a Wifi hotspot and then connect your PC and other devices to the hotspot? Do they include the hotspot device or do I needs to buy something like this:
    https://www.amazon.com.au/E5577-320-Hotspot-Festival-Portabl…
    So this way you don't need to have internet connection at your home, you just use the SIM data for your internet connection?

    • Buy2Much on 27/11/2021 - 22:21

      They provide a free rental Nokia 5G modem with the SIM in it (you get to keep it after 36 months). You can either use that modem's wifi or connect it to your own router. I believe it's locked to your location, so you can not take the SIM and use it elsewhere.

    Currently on $50 NBN plan (discounted pricing expiring in Jan, will need to cancel Exetel
    anyone know if exetel charges any early termination charges and how much, there T's & C's says that

    12.9. No Early Termination Charges shall be payable by the
    Customer:
    i. If the Agreement is not a Fixed-Term Agreement; or
    ii. If the Agreement is a Fixed-Term Agreement that is
    cancelled after the expiry of the minimum term.

    So does that mean no early termination charges from them if currently on a No contract with them?

    Paying $7.5 less to get 7x the current plan's speed is a no brainer.

Postage to send back is usually the responsibility of the customer (unless it’s Amazon ;-) ). Vodafone has stores so I guess you can hand back to them in person.

      Same with me for 4G, but I know I can receive it so was thinking of getting a family member to buy it & sent to their place.
      I wonder if that would be a breach of their stupid rules.

      • michael9865 on 28/11/2021 - 15:48

        was thinking the same as I receive 4g aswell but think maybe Vodafone 4g home wifi internet maybe works differently or something lol

      Like they said the best deals are sometimes in the comments :-) I did not open that post though as 4G did not attract my interest. I happened to walk past a Vodafone shop today and saw this deal flashing on their shop front. Did a quick search on OB when I got home and saw no mention so here it is.

        Nice work.

        Not good enough, you need to supply a stat dec as well as your phone's location history to confirm you're really telling us the truth.

        • Buy2Much on 28/11/2021 - 13:14

          LOL, I should have scanned the store’s Covid QR code ;-)

  • MITM on 27/11/2021 - 23:06

    5G unavailable to me - might have to try the Starlink deal instead.

  • Homr on 27/11/2021 - 23:13

    I live in Sydney CBD, how on earth it does not have 5g converge?

      It would not be a coverage problem but more of the number of users they can take on in a high density, high demand area…

      • Homr on 27/11/2021 - 23:27

        ahh dang. Does that mean metro areas will get coverage later than regional areas (less dense)?

          I think it depends more so on council approvals for 5G micro towers. The patchiness you see represents slow and fast council amongst other install considerations I suspect

  • edw0000000 on 27/11/2021 - 23:37

    My address actually inside the map covered area.
    But won’t let me signup

    • brongz on 28/11/2021 - 06:07

      Do you have mobile plan with Voda? You have to have one first before getting this special offer.

      A dude above mentioned in comments he went in store. Try that

  • cydia9k on 27/11/2021 - 23:51

    Vodafone 5G coverage is a complete joke, but hey if you're in range it's a good deal

    • PeeDee on 28/11/2021 - 07:28

      How is it a joke? The placement is just in one area and if the radius has good 5G coverage, you are good to go right? Otherwise you could also get an extender.

      • cydia9k on 28/11/2021 - 08:59

        Useless while mobile, you're right it does not matter for fixed location

  • Al123 on 28/11/2021 - 00:47

    Checked 5G broadband NOT available in either "5G indoor" and "5G outdoor" covered areas in two suburbs (Metro Vic).

    Have to suppose this is more a trap to re-direct customers to Vodafone/TPG NBN or its 4G plans, than a real promotion on its 5G broadband.

    When checked the Vodafone 4G home broadband, only 20Mbps download is available …

    Guess the federal government ban on Huawei 4G/5G equipments has destroyed the Vodafone/TPG business model and its business future.

    Stay with my Belong NBN broadband.

    • Will630 on 28/11/2021 - 14:57

      Try your address on TPG website to see if you can get TPG 5G home internet. If you can, get a plan in Vodafone store. They use same network.

  • invidious on 28/11/2021 - 00:50

    good price

  • [Deactivated] on 28/11/2021 - 05:40

    I wouldn't…I switched NBN from Telstra and had nothing but slow speeds! They said it was NBN…and a few months later I went back to Telstra and no issues!

  • brongz on 28/11/2021 - 06:06

    Has to have mobile plan with Voda. How much is the cheapest plan?

    • duskx on 28/11/2021 - 06:20

      Mobile plan isn't needed. Just if you have one then it's $35/mo instead of $37.50

      • PeeDee on 28/11/2021 - 08:04
        -1

        But your existing plan has to be a postpaid :(

  • mrtee on 28/11/2021 - 06:32

    Is this true unlimited or does it slow down once you pass a set data limit?

  • PeeDee on 28/11/2021 - 07:30

    Wow this is really cheap might switch from NBN to the 5G. Optus network in my area gives me 200 megabytes per second I just hope that Vodafone does the same.

    "When you have a phone plan with us" I'm not with Vodafone so could I just grab a $2 prepaid SIM card?
