Terms and Conditions
General
Offer available to credit approved customers. Available in selected areas. The Optus Fair Go Policy applies.Serviceability
The 5G Internet service is only available in selected areas on the Optus 5G Network with the modem supplied by Optus. There may be technical or other reasons that affect your ability to access the service at your address. The service qualification check is an indication that you are within 5G coverage, it does not guarantee that your address is 5G serviceable. If you are unable to establish a 5G connection within the first 30 days, Optus reserves the right to:
• cancel your service contract with us; or
• offer an alternative home internet service.
The 5G Internet service must be used at the address provided during the service check. If at any time it’s detected that the Optus provided modem has been (or is being) used at a different location other than that provided to Optus in the original service check (i.e., service address), Optus reserves the right to suspend or cancel your 5G Internet service. If you decide to move, you will need to refer to “Relocating to a new address” below for more information.
Installation
You can self-install the 5G Internet Service. We recommend that you position the modem close to a window to maximise signal strength.
Equipment needs and Device Payment Plan
To use the service, you will need the Optus provided 5G modem and an Optus SIM. The cost of this device is $576. However, Optus will cover the $576 cost of the device if you remain connected for 36 months on a Device Payment Plan (DPP). During the 36-month term of the DPP, your device payments will be reduced by a prorated, monthly credit over the term of the DPP.
You will need to remain on an eligible Optus 5G Internet plan for the term of your DPP. 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, calculated as $16 multiplied by the number of months remaining on Device Payment Plan (Remaining Device Payment Fee) and any applicable device credits or discounts will be forfeited. This is subject to your Australian Consumer Law rights.
Speed
5G coverage and speeds are variable on the Optus 5G Network. Your actual speed will depend on a number of factors including signal strength and proximity to the cell tower that you connect to, the presence of any obstructions between the modem and the cell tower, congestion, location and placement of the 5G modem in your house, distance from the Optus 5G tower, local conditions, hardware, software and general internet traffic.
In the event of an interruption to the Optus 5G Network service, your service may continue to operate on the Optus 4G Plus Network (if available) depending on the nature of the interruption. Learn more about 5G Internet speeds.
The Optus 50Mbps Satisfaction Guarantee
If at any time during the term of your eligible plan, you’re not satisfied that you are getting download speeds of at least 50Mbps, or you cannot receive a 5G signal at your service address, simply report the issue that you are having to us and we will investigate and check if it’s within the terms of our 50Mbps Satisfaction Guarantee (Guarantee).
Optus reserves the right to independently test the speed of your connection to ensure that you are receiving a connection speed of less than 50Mbps. If it is within the terms of our 50Mbps Satisfaction Guarantee (Guarantee), we will confirm your eligibility to cancel your service and DPP under the Guarantee. You must return the modem in good working order within 30 days of this confirmation of cancellation. If the modem is not returned or is returned not in good working order, you will need to pay out the Remaining Device Payment Fee. If you would prefer to retain the modem, you may pay out Remaining Device Payment Fee. If the 36-month term of the Device Payment Plan has expired, you do not need to return the modem.
Don't think Optus Sport will be included for free from next month.
