minus-squareboonhet@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days ago I’ll 100% sign up with eutel (?) satellite internet if it’s ever available here. I’m just wondering, why? Do you not have any decent broadband options available? Fiber’s still going to be better than satellite, but obviously if you can’t get fiber, satellite is probably better than aging copper.
minus-squarenull_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoYeah, at home we do have fiber. I’d like it for my camper trailer. Something like an RV. Here in Western Australia we have reasonably good 5G mobile coverage in cities and towns, but it’s patchy outside of those areas. Having satellite internet really opens up a whole lot of cool places you can set up to camp.
minus-squareboonhet@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 hours agoOh yeah, you Aussies have a huge outback, I can see it being great for usage in a camper. Boats are another great use case I think.
minus-squarenull_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 hours agoI don’t mean to be critical, it’s great that you know the term outback, but that’s not quite the right usage. It tends to refer to very remote very arid places. As in outback explorers used camels and often perished due to dehydration. We do have very lush forests with rivers and so on along the coast, which is more popular with campers than in the outback.
