@nostrildamus I'm assuming the extra bits for routing preclude a speaker of any quality

Point 2 will have LOS to the "west" of that near the front of the house (foyer) with no impeding structures.
This is about 10 metres BTW and still came up as "Great connection" since the change Friday morning.
That is until 10pm tonight when it went offline. Restarted and back to "Great connection" which tbh shits me. Don't really think the Google wifi is that robust in terms of recovering bad connection caching.
Other than that the testing was all good and the house (4 bed 2 bath + study single level) appears to be running 5 GHz at maximum rate almost everywhere.

I do find that interesting.
Particularly as I know for a fact that optic fibre is sitting in the pit right outside my house, and has been for a couple of months, but for whatever reason isn't active yet.
I'd gladly pay $150/month for gigabit as the Tax man can eat half of that. At that point the only limiter is my wifi, as all the hardwired stuff in the house will gladly run at Gb.

just go starlink. Little bit of setup cost but better than shit land connection.
For our property in the wops I can get Rural Broadband at maybe 30ish, VDSL at a supposed 30 but given distance to cabinet probably 18-20 or pay Mr Twitter and get around 150. Given that I want to spent long periods working remotely without flying back to Welly then Starlink is a no brainer,

@Crucial do there prices include gst
Half price on the hardware at the moment. Only$520 for the dish and modem. $159 a month unlimited. Expensive compared to being in town but worth it.
I assume that is the GST inclusive price as it is the NZ price nd no mention of adding it at the end

They're having specials on hardware right now, so it would be $450 for the gear + $139/month for coverage.
However, I would also need to buy other hardware to integrate it into my existing setup e.g. Ethernet adapter to plug into my mesh system because why would I buy Stalink's mesh system?
TBH looking at some of the stats, I can see why it would be popular in rural areas, but at this point I might get fibre connected just before Starlink becomes available
