Kogan Mobile No more 5G only 4G+

I used to get Kogan 5G on my prepaid service. It seems as if it has reverted to 4G+ with no 5G even in a few areas around CBD Melbourne. Download speed is 110/30. Is this normal? Website says 5G still running.

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    On the website here: https://www.koganmobile.com.au/

    Says "Trial access has been extended to June 1 2023 on our Extra Large 12 Month Plan. Requires compatible 5G Phone within a 5G coverage area. 5G is rolling out in selected areas of major cities. 5G is currently only available on Extra Large 12 Month Kogan Mobile plans.

    But the Click "here" for more link isn't working so maybe they're changing what's available or something?

    Access to 5G was clearly stated to only be a trial for a limited period of time to give subscribers some experience of it in the hope that some of them would switch to higher priced 5G plans when the trial period finished. The trial period has finished for a number of those plans. If you want 5G you now have to pay for a higher-priced plan.

  • As a trial customer, what's your take on 5G? Is 5G is an epic fail like so many people are saying?

    Telstra 5G trial ends 28 November. I guess they want people back on 4G to ease 5G congestion or something.

  • Belarus was once called "White" Russia.
    Nothing will ever stay the same.

      Byelo means white. Byelorussia -> Belarus. 'White Russia' is still the name of the country, albeit abbreviated.

  • Meh,
    Received 5G on boost mobile, used it for a day but it destroyed my battery life
    Turned it off straight after.

    • which phone , what SoC ?

      • S22+
        Lost something like 15-20%

  • Yep would not pay a cent extra for 5G

    Where as 4G was definitely a step up from 3G.

    Tried all 3 networks Tel/Opt/Vod
