We currently run HFC NBN and Starlink at our work. It runs a failover setup so when HFC dies it swaps to Starlink then swaps back when HFC comes back.

I literally have to pay for two services to maintain reliable internet because HFC constantly goes down for the whole area.

If I move to EE, I pay a fortune for the install and miss out on access to NBN FTTP plans.

HFC has been so bad the past week that we've mostly been on Starlink. I got the shits and unplugged HFC to stop it swapping over so we've spent the past few work days purely on Starlink.

It's worked perfectly for VOIP and all the other typical office tasks (email, remote hosted files and documents). It's a third the price of EE, cost all of 400 bucks for the hardware, was delivered in like 48 hours from the order, and took maybe an hour to setup on the roof. I can't even get a budget estimate for EE install costs in 48 days, let alone actually get the thing running. At which point it will cost me a massive premium for our internet forever.

I'm going to cancel HFC. What an embarrassment the Liberals left us with. Thanks Malcolm and Tony, sweet legacy you disgusting worms.
