What is Country Broadband?

Exetel Country Broadband is a high-speed broadband service, designed specifically for the harder-to-reach places of Australia. It is completely wireless, so there's no need to rent a phone line, install any cables, or buy an expensive satellite dish. Thanks to Exetel's unique YAGI aerial, more people in more parts of the country can take advantage of everything the internet has to offer.

How it works

Exetel Country Broadband combines new technology with one of the country's biggest internet providers, to provide hundreds of rural homes with high-speed internet. And because there are no pipes or satellites to worry about, installing Country Broadband couldn't be simpler. Provided you are within the Optus mobile coverage area, all you need is a YAGI aerial on your roof (for those more than 3 kilometers from an Optus mobile tower). And the best part is, an Exetel Techie will bring it out and install it for you, though many people do this themselves. So all you have to do is plug in your computer and switch it on. How easy is that?
