I was stuck on 3G for 18 months until two weeks ago. I was more than happy with the speed, but the data cost was very high. I was able to stream Netflix in HD without issue.
A company has now setup Fixed Wireless in town, I'm 8km from the tower and very happy with the speed and the cost for 500GB a month.
Joke is, NBN have almost finished the Fixed Wireless in town so I'll go from nothing to having choice...
