How fast is 5G?

MATE mobile plans come with 5G network access (capped speeds apply). Depending on which plan you’re on, your download speed is capped at either 150Mbps or 250Mbps.

đź’ˇ Tip: Whichever cap your plan comes with, the speed is plenty for everyday things like streaming, browsing and social media.

Download speeds are capped at either 150Mbps or 250Mbps, depending on your plan. This is the maximum potential download speed. Typical speeds may often be slower and will vary due to factors such as location, device capabilities, distance from the base station, local conditions, concurrent users, hardware and software configuration and download/upload destination.

đź’ˇ Note: 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).
