Telstra regional general manager Michael Patterson said the roll out would continue, in order to grow the latest network, in coming months.
"We're reaching more and more people with the next generation of mobile technology," he said.
"Every week we're expanding Telstra 5G to more of Hobart and Launceston so that as more 5G devices go on sale, our customers can have the latest devices on Australia's best network.
