A little bit about Mbps
Thinking of switching to our unlimited data plans? Here you’ll find the info you need to get an idea of what data speeds up to 40Mbps and 80Mbps can do.
What you can do with speeds up to 40Mbps
Watch full videos, episodes and movies from all major streaming providers in HD or even 4K on compatible devices. Netflix recommends just 15Mbps for streaming in 4K, so our 40Mbps speed cap has this well covered.
Whether you’re listening to music or podcasts, streaming audio is smooth at 40Mbps.
At 40mbps, you’ll be able to comfortably video call friends.
As well as browse the net and send and receive emails comfortably.
Data speeds up to 40Mbps means games are responsive.
Whether you’re on the go or occasionally need hotspotting at home, you can hotspot to a tablet and/or laptop.
The above mentioned data speeds of 40Mbps are an “up to” speed. The actual data speeds you experience may vary depending on many factors such as device capability, location, the network congestion at the time of use, network coverage, and whether you’re roaming or not. See our coverage checker for more.
All felix plans are intended for personal mobile use only, although you’re able to hotspot to a personal device, being your laptop or tablet from your mobile hotspot. felix plans are not permitted to hotspot to devices such as TVs or gaming consoles or to other people’s devices (for example members of your household), nor as a substitute for home or office internet. Fair use policy applies.
What does 80Mbps mean for you?
Thinking of switching to our new Unlimited+ mobile data plan? Here’s a handy guide to what data at speeds up to 80Mbps can do, and why some people may prefer the higher maximum speed cap.
Our new Unlimited+ mobile data plan gives you access to network speeds of up to 80Mbps.
The main benefit of the higher maximum speed cap is that larger files, apps, movies and other content may download faster compared to our Unlimited mobile data plan at speeds up to 40mbps.
For everyday mobile activities like messaging, browsing, streaming music or videos and making video calls, many customers may find our Unlimited mobile data plan at speeds up to 40Mbps suitable for their needs. When using your plan in this way, there may be little noticeable difference in experience between the two plans.
If you regularly download larger files, apps, movies or other content and would prefer a plan with a higher maximum speed cap, Unlimited+ may be a suitable option. If these types of downloads are less important to you, our Unlimited mobile data plan at speeds up to 40Mbps may continue to meet your needs.
Speeds are subject to network conditions. Our 5G network provides the fastest download speeds. A compatible 5G device is required to access the 5G network, and you can check your coverage here.
So why choose our 80Mbps plan?
The examples below show you how the higher maximum speed cap may help with larger downloads when network conditions allow.
Faster downloads of large content and movies (Download a movie in up to half the time when at 80Mbps Vs 40Mbps) Whether you’re downloading or updating your operating system, downloading movies before a flight or downloading playlists, a higher maximum speed cap can help larger downloads finish sooner.
Faster downloads of large files and apps (Download a large file or app in up to half the time when at 80Mbps Vs 40Mbps) Downloading larger files and apps? A higher maximum speed cap can help larger downloads finish sooner.
Less waiting on big downloads if you occasionally hotspot to your personal tablet or laptop (Up to 2X faster downloads if you occasionally hotspot, compared to speeds up to 40mbps) When using your mobile hotspot on a compatible personal device, the higher maximum speed cap may help larger downloads complete sooner.
It’s important to note that these download times are indicative only based on theoretical estimates and assume maximum plan speeds. The actual data speeds you experience may vary depending on many factors such as device capability, location, the network congestion at the time of use, network coverage, and whether you’re roaming or not.
