Telstra for Rural Coverage
Telstra has the best rural coverage in Queensland, particularly in remote areas. Their 4G network covers more of outback Australia than any other carrier.
External Antennas
External antennas can significantly improve signal strength at rural properties. A good LPDA or Yagi antenna mounted on a pole can turn 1 bar into 3-4 bars.
Alternative Internet Options
Consider Starlink or NBN Sky Muster for internet in remote areas where mobile coverage is poor. A WiFi mesh system helps distribute the signal across large rural homes and sheds.
UHF CB Radio Backup
UHF CB radio on channel 5 and 35 for emergencies. Essential backup communication in remote areas. No mobile coverage needed - works anywhere with line of sight.
