In 2006, the National Broadband Network was pitched as a ‘super fast’ network that would provide 12Mbps to 94% of rural Australia and 99% of the Urban population.
Starlink finally delivers on the NBN promise and then some - I get speeds that fluctuate between 60Mbps and 190Mbs, sitting comfortably in that 80-90 territory most of the time.
Over the last few years, we’ve lived in a few remote and regional areas of Australia. We’ve had the complete NBN experience: fibre-to-the-home, fixed-wireless, and no service. If you have a clear view of the sky, Starlink outperforms the NBN in remote, rural, and most regional scenarios. It’ll provide an Internet connection on par with fibre-to-the-home, and it will even surpass those connections by a factor of two some of the time.
Starlink is the super fast network that probably already covers more than 94% of the rural Australian population. If the only thing stopping that tree-change is crappy internet, then Starlink might be your answer.

Hi! Subconsciously you already know this, but let's make it obvious. Hopefully this article was helpful. You might also find yourself following a link to Amazon to learn more about parts or equipment. If you end up placing an order, I make a couple of dollarydoos. We aren't talking a rapper lifestyle of supercars and yachts, but it does help pay for the stuff you see here. So to everyone that supports this place - thank you.
