Innovation to improve connectivity in remote locations
While many Australians have reliable home internet through Telstra’s nbn plans, some of us live in more remote locations where a different connectivity solution is best.
This is where the Telstra Satellite Home internet comes in – using innovative LEO satellites to provide low latency satellite internet in even the most remote places. It will even provide you with a home phone connection.
Telstra’s satellite home internet plan is available for $125 per month and $599 upfront for the Starlink Standard kit. It also includes unlimited data and estimated typical peak speeds of 50Mbps download and 10Mbps upload. Availability and speeds may be impacted by various other factors such as kit location, sky visibility from that location and severe weather conditions.
As a world first on the Starlink network, you can even use it as your home phone.
Each Telstra Satellite Home Internet connection comes with a Telstra Smart Modem 3 included for use alongside a Starlink Standard Kit which also includes the latest Starlink Kit plus all the cables needed to make it work together.
The Telstra Smart Modem 3 provides a home phone connection and for those in an area with 4G mobile coverage, the Telstra Smart Modem 3 will also automatically swap to that connection if there’s an issue with your satellite connectivity.
As with other Telstra services, you can visit one of the Telstra stores for some help from a local or jump into the MyTelstra app to talk with an agent.
With the 30-day satisfaction guarantee, eligible customers can also troy out Telstra Satellite Home Internet and, if it’s not up to your standards, simply return the hardware within 30 days and you will be refunded the first monthly fee plus any hardware repayment costs.
