The same map from nPerf showing real availabilityīut lets drill down even further to the CBD that should be awash with Telstra purple. Telstra’s theoretical maps show Sydeny bathed in 5G purple from Manly to Coogee Here is why we get so upset at rubbish coverage statements. You can zoom down to street levels – something carrier maps cannot do. Once a spot gets 5G, it remains that way.
The nPerf project uses volunteers via an Android or iOS app to report carrier band availability in real-time. The maps below speak loudest – real 5G access versus the Telco’s rubbish theoretical maps. It is certainly not, as Telstra euphemistically puts it, ‘75% of the population’. But 5G handsets had a pretty rough time trying to find 5G. On the good news front, Australia’s median 5G speed is now up to 280Mbps – about twice as high as the global average (some nations have painfully slow 5G skewing the results). Interesting to note the Apple iPhone 12 5G dominance The Australian result ( here) was from 332,972 user-initiated tests from 79,785 devices using Speedtest iOS and Android apps.
