What Data Speeds Public Mobile Offers

The 5G network is the ‘fifth generation’ of cellular network technology (or mobile internet) that has increased speeds, reliability, and capacity, giving you a better browsing experience. If you are on a 3G speed or 4G speed subscription, you may see the 5G logo on your phone, that is normal. You’re getting the reliability of the 5G network at the speed (and price) of your 3G/4G speed subscription.
To access 5G network speeds, ensure you have a compatible phone, your phone’s software is up-to-date and you are connected to the Public Mobile 5G network where available.
Your subscription’s speed and signal strength may vary with your phone, configuration, environmental conditions, applicable network management and other factors. For more information about our rate plans, please see here.
Note: If you’ve recently changed to a subscription with a different data speed it may take up to 48 hours until the speed change kicks in.
