Constantly having issues with Telstra out in the Hawkesbury region, seriously considering a satelite internet instead. They are great in terms of available services but have made the decision to scale back in our certain area, meaning much slower internet.
I would recommend for those moving to rural areas have a talk with their neighbours about the best option prior to making a purchasing decision on a particular Service Provider.
Have been in suburban areas with Telstra before this for roughly 10 years and never had a difficulty with service or connection speeds. Advice? Do your research in rural areas when selecting internet plans.
