Telstra Raises Phone and Internet Prices Amid Accusations of Misleading Mobile Coverage Maps

  • Telstra announced price increases for several mobile and internet plans effective July 1, 2025, across Australia.
  • These hikes follow allegations by Vodafone and TPG Telecom that Telstra overstated its mobile network coverage for more than a decade.
  • Telstra based its coverage claims on using external antennas and powered repeaters, which customers normally do not have, inflating reach by nearly one million square kilometres.
  • TPG executive Kieran Cooney described the claims as "alarming" and accused Telstra of misleading Australians into paying premium prices for misleading coverage.
  • The accusations have prompted TPG to seek a regulatory investigation while the ACCC considers the matter, highlighting risks to consumer trust and market fairness.
