Why they won't even offer us NBN Satellite...yet a mere 10km away they have it.
I am surprised that you can't get more than 44M for FTTC, I was able to get more with FTTN back in WA.

All satellite connections are restricted as the user rate goes up the maximum speed goes down. So there have to be strict guidelines. It will be interesting to see what Starlink will offer. Plus satellite is expensive. We could never use it for working at home. Why it goes down, I am not about to show the math even though it is one of the simplest engineering math it is still boring for most people. As an RF & Satcom engineer, I think that would be better left alone.

I am potentially looking at urban living but need to get more information on Fixed Wireless as South Australian regional towns are flooded with FW.
