3g - bands 1 , 5 , 8
4g - you are missing bands 8 and 28
So you should be good for 3g and 4g in cities and with some carriers
I'm using Amaysim which is optus I believe and reside semi rural in Gympie QLD. Maybe suffer without B40, although only using 3G anyway atm. Thanks that really helped.
If he gets the Standard version, he'll have bands 8 and 28. Notice there's four lines for 4G, the top two are for a Standard version, the bottom two are for an Eco version.
Op, get the Standard version and you'll be fine as far as bands go.

Go to the connectivity section and it will show which band is supported by each network provider.
