I was just informed that the Telstra Business 400GB Data Plan (Business Data Plan L) is no longer an available option to upgrade/change to.

As stated here - https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…

Also, for those who are actively using the 400GB plan, this plan will be auto-migrated to a Medium (M) plan in May as the 400GB Plan is in Sunset phase.

The L Plan was $95 p/m for 400GB Data before it was taken down.

The only plans now available are as follows:
S Plan - $25 p/m 30gb Data
M Plan - $58 p/m 75gb Data

I use Netgear/Nighhawk M6 5G Modems/Wifi Routers and have Telstra Sims in both. I often change plans to suit travelling/data use requirements.

Has anyone come across any affordable data alternatives =/> 400GB?

    5G has been a bit of a fizzer so far. The promised 1ms latency and large download limits haven't eventuated 6 years down the track. $58pm for 75GB and no calls/text is highway robbery.

    To answer your question OP: Doesn't JB have 300GB Telstra data only plans? They usually come with gift cards too.

      Agreed ! I could 'stomach' $95 for 400GB, but I only used it every so often so mainly had one card on the S Plan and one on the M plan.

      The Telstra guy mentioned that they only stopped being able to offer this service end of Nov.

      I think the JB plan is 150 + 150 (150 free for 1st 3 recharges/months) - Ill check anyway.

      Thanks.

      5G is great when you have full bars of service. Anything less and my experience is nothing loads at all.

        I have 5 mobiles on Boost, which it could be just me, has gone to sh|t since Telstra took over…
        Hardly ever get 5G anymore even in areas where we've been getting it since Boost introduced it.

      Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner - This is where I 'Belong'.

      But thanks heaps.

        Looks like it's $70 so even cheaper. Shaping is 1Mbps though so keep that in mind.

          SIM ordered - Thanks again

            @GC67: Note that Belong works on the Telstra wholesale network, not the full network in case that makes a difference to you.

            Unofficially, you can also use Belong's $21/month 7GB mobile plan and buy additional data on eBay at about $8/100GB (with unlimited data banking)
