[plug] Looking for ISP

[LH]

Hiya Onno

I dunno too much about fixed NBN wireless. So here's my two cents lol.

Maybe recently built properties have blocked you line of sight to the tower.
  Can you put your dish/antenna on a long cable and walk around to find better reception?
Or maybe more and more wireless signals in the area are beginning to saturate the frequency your on?

If your able to swap to fibre, I'm pretty sure the installation to residence is free. Part of the NBN rollout.

This is the site I use to shop for ISPs
https://www.whistleout.com.au/Broadband/Search?data=-1&speed=90&includefeatured=false&contract=0&address=Yokine+WA+6060&customer=PersonalSome plans include a modem, some don't.

Hope you get your speeds back.
