I'm moving to a rural property (in Welcome Bay) soon and am trying to figure out my broadband options. I recon we need at least 600gb a month and want a reasonable speed since we watch nextflix etc and have a youtube/roblox/whatever addicted teenager. The options I've looked at are:
1) Wired broadband. The Chorus broadband checker says I can get ADSL with an estimated 7mbs download speed (VDSL/fibre aren't available). Someone I spoke to at spark said they thought it would probably be less than 7mb - wish I could find out what I could really get. IF its 7mb its pretty crap but is probably functional for basic surfing. It'll be useless for netflix etc tho.
2) Wireless broadband. I've looked at Spark(Skinny)/Vodafone/2 Degrees and the only one I can sign up to is 2 degrees (capped at 300gb for $65), the others say they don't have sufficient capacity in my area, and/or cap usage at a useless level and/or want stupid prices for 600gb.
3) Dedicated local networks. None available in my area that'll give the speed & capacity I want.
4) Starlink. Later this year supposedly. Doesn't help me now and given the big trees around my new house I'm not convinced it'll be great anyway.
So.... Have I missed any options?
The best option I can think of is bridging two x 2 Degrees wireless connections (which I think is feasable), or bridging one 2 Degrees wireless plus ADSL (ideally somehow making the ADSL do the work, then topping up with the wireless when faster speeds are needed - is this setup even possible)?
I just don't know enough about this stuff - any help greatfully received please.
