Compared to my location in oz, it's blazingly fast. I'm limited to a max of 1.5mbps (due to long line distance to the nearest adsl exchange). Thankfully, I get 1 bar of 4g, so I use phone tethering to get about 4 times that.

(For context, we have a national ponzi scheme called the nbn which was supposed to bring the internet to rural areas - even more remote than me, but rural still gets nothing, but city areas have had moderate fibre improvements)

Here we have actual unlimited 4G and I used it instead of DSL for two years. Got about 50/25 topping out at 80/30 or so. Was very stable and convenient. Definitely a reasonable setup for rural areas.
