bad luck. It probably cost more to service wingers than the other 90% of the population combined. Telstra and others usually cover Capital cities and then work along highways to join the cities together. If you happen to pick up a signal on your isolated hill you were lucky. I don't see why we should all bend over for your exclusive lifestyle. Dig a trench to the nearest cable and connect via land line. Hope it cost $100Ks, as it should and you should pay for it.
