Telstra 4GX in Melbourne – now with more coverage

Telstra 4GX

Telstra 4GX was launched in Melbourne at the end of last year and more than a 1,000 places around Australia since the beginning of this year. It’s an upgraded 4G network, 4G on steroids, if you prefer that term. 4GX uses a spectrum that can go further than the current 4G frequencies – which simply means more coverage and more speed to you.

Looking at the coverage map, Melbourne CBD is now pretty much covered with the awesome network, covering even the surrounding suburbs:
