Australian (Sydney, 30 minutes train from CBD) here, I pay $60/m for 45mbps but my line potential is 35mbps. My average speed is around 20mbps (just ran a speedtest and it was 22mbps).
Some places have 100mbps, but most don't live in those areas. I am lucky to get the speeds that I do, honestly.
I'm watching both 5g and starlink with great interest as they will be up and running before the next infrastructure initiative by the government.
Maybe Sydney is actually rural and we don't know it yet
- skissane 6y agoUnfortunately, I doubt Starlink will be generally available that close to Sydney CBD. The population density would be too high. Maybe Sydney’s rural fringe? (Dural? Glenorie? Maroota? Wiseman’s Ferry? Camden? Rural parts of Central Coast like Holgate, Lisarow, Somersby?)
- londons_explore 6y agoParts of australia are too rural for starlink... Without a ground station within ~500km you won't be getting service. That'll be the case right in the middle of australia I'd guess.
