they were told to look into LEO sats as soon as starlink arrived but they decided not to for reasons unknown

I used to, pre-22 floods.

It was slow, high latency with poor support.

Ended up shelling out $3000 for a roof mounted antenna with a mobile signal booster pointed at a tower 30km away.

Which was way better until they shutoff 3G and didnt bother to replace it with anything. The 4G signal is much noisier and hugely congested.

The skymuster gear is gathering dust.

Used to. Was terrible but that was 7 years ago, not sure if it's improved since then

Haven't used it in 4 years or so. It's probably a lot better these days since 90% of its users have moved onto starlink, so not as much congestion.

Won't fix the latency though. And I'm sure they still have the pitiful quotas and rate limiting.

That’s so cool Australia has their own statelite services!

In the way that ADSL is an alternative to FTTP.

I hate Elon as much as anyone, but Skymuster is painful. I think the best latency I ever saw was around 650ms. On a bad day it could exceed 2000ms.

Every time you click on a link, the internet pauses for a second or two and then decides to load.
