Access type
Our wireless broadband services connect your home via a 4G or 5G wireless connection to our mobile network. Wireless broadband speeds can be impacted by the distance between your modem and a cell site, the performance of your modem, your in-home WiFi setup, the level of usage of a particular cell site by others, network capacity, and the number of devices connected to your modem. Speeds may also be impacted by the location and quality of the websites you choose to view and the software you may have downloaded (malicious or otherwise). The day to day performance will also be affected by our Network. Any speed representations are averages and are not an indication of the actual speed of an individual connection. Speeds may be more or less than the average speed.
