Simpson WiFi is farm WiFi. The town connections are honestly fine most of the time — it’s the gap between the house and the working parts of the property where the real jobs live.
What makes Simpson its own thing.
This is Heytesbury settlement country — the town was laid out from 1960 when the scrub was cleared for soldier-settler dairy farms, and it’s still dairy through and through: nearly four in ten Simpson workers are in dairy cattle farming. That shapes every job out here. The house connection is rarely the problem — nbn Fixed Wireless covers the town and the farms, and we’ve verified it at real addresses from Williams Road out to Coradjil Road. The problem is that a modern dairy operation wants internet in the dairy, the machinery shed and the calf shed, and those are hundreds of metres from the router.
The honest bit about distance.
Simpson is the far western edge of our patch — about 95 minutes from Geelong, out past Colac. Same flat $149 with travel included, but we’ll be straight: far-west jobs get batched together, so a booking may sit a little further out than one in town. The trade-off works both ways — when we come, the visit gets the time it needs, because nobody drives to the Heytesbury to do half a job.
What you get on the day.
About 90 minutes on site (longer if the property needs it): heat maps through the house, real speed tests, a look at the antenna and its mounting — the wind across these paddocks moves things over the years — and a measured plan for getting reliable coverage to the dairy and sheds if that’s what the operation needs. Written report inside 24 hours, plain English, ranked recommendations with real prices.
What we won’t do.
We won’t sell a farm a rack of gear it doesn’t need, and we won’t quote a shed link without measuring the actual distances and obstructions first. If the existing setup just needs to be repointed and configured properly, that’s the recommendation — and the visit fee is all you’ve spent. Postcode 3266 is inside the patch — no travel fee.
