Why I work remotely has nothing to do with productivity

How is cell internet in Australia? I will be remote working there soon, and I've seen the 2 Mbps upload speeds from at least one of the cable internet providers, and am kind of... shocked. That won't do for a decent google hangout.

Are there good internet providers? If so, which ones should I look for at an Airbnb I will stay at?

Mobile internet is reasonably fast (around 25MB up and down with my provider) but very expensive. About the cheapest data rate I have found is $15AUD/GB (measuring uploads and downloads). Performance is also patchy, there are blackspots with limited EDGE level connections in most capital cities and you are lucky if you have any reception in rural areas.

I've got fibre in my area so tend to do really well. I also have 4G on my phone which reports upload to be over 25MB
