Boost Mobile will include 5G access as standard from 4 April 2023 on the Boost Prepaid Mobile Plans. Use is capped at reasonable download speeds.
5G enabled Boost Prepaid plan (from the recharge date)
| Recharge | Recharge Expiry | Download speeds up to |
| $5-$15 | 7 days | 150Mbps |
| $20-$40 | 28 days | 150Mbps |
| $50 | 28 days | 250Mbps |
| $70 | 28 days | Uncapped |
| $100 | 6 months | 150Mbps |
| $150-$300 | 12 months | 150Mbps |
You don’t need to do a thing, and there’s no change to your current recharge. Capped download speeds will take effect when you make your first recharge from 4 April 2023.
How do I test what speeds I’m getting on 5G?
Test your mobile connection and speed performance. This test will not affect your data allowance. Please make sure Wi-Fi is turned off when testing. To access 5G, you’ll need a 5G-compatible device in a 5G coverage area.
5G coverage is still limited
Boost uses the Telstra Retail network – read Telstra’s Retail Vs Wholesale mobile plans – the catches you need to know. Boost is not charging a premium (as Telstra does to its direct clients) because 5G coverage is very limited. You can check coverage here.
Thanks Boost!
