Faster web browsing, downloading and better video streaming on the way
Optus is bringing 4G services to Branyan and Sharon which will deliver superfast mobile internet speeds for customers with compatible 4G mobile phones and tablets, while also enhancing 3G customer experience.
Optus’ Queensland and Northern Territory State Manager, Mark O’Shea said, “It’s an exciting time as we’re bringing 4G to more Optus customers in Branyan and Sharon. This will provide customers with a faster mobile internet experience and bring competition and choice in 4G services across Australia.”
The upgrades are part of a massive 4G expansion program that will bring the Optus 4G Plus network to regional areas across Australia.
Using Optus 4G Plus, customers can download apps, music and movies quicker and enjoy video and music streaming with fewer interruptions. For businesses, 4G delivers faster file downloads and a more consistent video-conferencing experience.
Optus customers will also benefit from a better 3G mobile experience as customers with compatible 4G devices transition to the 4G data network, improving 3G network capacity.
To support 4G services in Branyan and Sharon, Optus mobile towers will be upgraded during the next few weeks.
Mr O’Shea continued, “As the mobile towers in Branyan and Sharon are being upgraded, there will be some service interruptions for Optus mobile customers in these areas while this essential work is being completed.
“Optus aims to complete these works as quickly as possible in order to keep service interruptions to a minimum. We know this may be frustrating, and we thank customers for their patience while the upgrade work is being completed. These upgrades will bring us closer to introducing 4G services to all customers in Branyan and Sharon.” said Mr Kirk.
The latest Optus 4G Plus compatible devices include Samsung Galaxy S6, the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, LG G3 and HTC One (M9). To enjoy 4G coverage wherever the Optus 4G Plus network expands, customers should look out for devices with the “4G in more places” symbol online and in-store.
