Mobile broadband providers offer coverage equal to mobile phone networks, so major providers now service most populated areas. Telstra BigPond offers the widest mobile broadband coverage, with the Next G network reaching 99 per cent of Australians. The Optus yes G mobile network has 96 per cent of Australians covered, and Vodafone services most cities and regional centres.

Speeds fluctuate, regardless of the provider, depending on signal strength and how busy the network is, but most services perform in a similar way to fixed line broadband in optimal conditions.
