RedSpeed Goes Live Publicly on 4 September 2026

What happens on 4 September

RedSpeed opens to the public. Two service lines go live together:

• Mobile, carried on the Telstra mobile network, reaching 98.8% of the Australian population
• nbn home internet, unlimited data, with the typical evening speed published for every plan

Both are month to month for personal customers. No lock-in, no exit fees, and free number porting if you are bringing an existing mobile number with you.

Why the plans are already published

Because a launch date is not a good reason to hide a price. Every mobile plan and every nbn plan is live on the site right now, with its full inclusions and what it actually costs each month. If a plan is going to suit you, you should be able to work that out today rather than on the morning of the fourth.

What changes on 4 September is that you can order. What does not change is the pricing you can see now.

The network, stated plainly

RedSpeed mobile runs on the Telstra mobile network as a mobile virtual network operator, which means RedSpeed resells wholesale access to that network rather than building towers. RedSpeed is an independent Australian company. It is not Telstra, it is not owned by Telstra, and the 98.8% figure above is the wholesale footprint that gets resold, which is smaller than Telstra's own retail coverage. Anyone who tells you a reseller has identical coverage to the network owner is rounding up.

Home internet is separate. It runs on the national nbn network, where RedSpeed is a retail service provider. The mobile arrangement has nothing to do with it.

The one thing that is gated

nbn plans need each plan's Critical Information Summary published before they can be sold. That is a Telecommunications Consumer Protections Code obligation, and it is the reason nbn pricing on the site is currently marked indicative. Until those documents are live, the nbn plans are there to read and compare, but the order button stays shut.

We would rather say that out loud now than have you find it at checkout.

What to do before the date

1. Compare the mobile plans and the nbn plans at your leisure.
2. Check that your number is portable. If it is an Australian mobile number on an active service, it almost certainly is, and the switching guide covers the exceptions.
3. Decide between an eSIM and a physical SIM. eSIM activates in minutes, which is the difference between being connected on launch morning and waiting for post.
