5G stands for 5th generation mobile network. It’s the latest generation of mobile network technology and the next step on from 3G and 4G.
Because it can carry a lot more data than 4G, the 5G mobile network can give you faster mobile data speeds, a better connection in busy spots, and less lag when you’re online.
5G is now available on MATE mobile plans (capped speeds apply). Have a look at our mobile plans to get started.
đź’ˇ Tip: To use 5G you’ll need a 5G compatible device and to be in a 5G coverage area. 5G is now available in most metro and regional areas and continues to expand (check coverage here).
