Hey all,
I have just purchased a home in the Southern Highlands outside Sydney. For those who know - the southern highlands is semi-rural and usually the properties are larger. Before I move in properly I need to organize internet but the problem is that the NBN doesn’t reach my house (NBN literally didn’t make its way down the street) and even if it did - I would need to set up a cable that would run up my driveway. Keep in mind that the driveway is about 150m long so running a cable would be way too expensive. So I have established that cable internet isn’t an option.
Another idea is to put a 4G modem inside the house but this brings 2 issues…
Being semi-rural, the 4G service isn’t good. It works on my phone in parts of the house but in others - there are dead zones. I’ve checked the Optus and Telstra website and visited the stores which brings me to issue number 2.
Optus and Telstra have both told me that 4G isn’t an option because 4G on my phone and “4GX” on the modems are different and the staff at both stores don’t like my chances of it working. I don’t really understand this but they know more than me.
So my fellow friends, what do I do?
All answers are appreciated and thank you in advance!
