Only if you're using a tight arse plan with a minor carrier. Telstra and Optus cover most of the towns and major highways in the country.
Expecting coverage across the Simpon or along the Tanami is somewhat unreasonable.

We struggle to get a reliable 3G signal in the Hawkesbury Valley (North west of Sydney) due to the topology let alone 4G and yet there are 4G towers everywhere. You certainly could not depend on it to run a business. We have frequent ADSL internet outages over the copper. In fact had one last night...Quote:

The other major drawback with 5G is that it's transmission distance is far less than 4G so many more towers are needed to get coverage. Also, direct line of sight to the tower is required, so this will limit its use outside major suburban centres, as a lot of roof top mounted transmitters are being installed and the cheapest way of covering an area with this tech.
