Starlink has become the most reliable internet option for caravan travellers across Australia and New Zealand, particularly outside metropolitan areas.. Coverage, power requirements, and portability all matter more than raw speed, which is why Starlink mounting solutions designed for caravans play such a critical role in real-world reliability.

4G and 5G mobile internet still works well near towns, highways, and populated coastal regions, but coverage drops quickly in regional and inland areas. Understanding antennas, routers, and realistic expectations is key.

For travellers heading beyond reliable mobile coverage, many people now rely on satellite internet as a fallback rather than a primary connection.

In caravan setups, internet reliability is often limited by power supply, heat, vibration, and mounting, not the network itself. Power supply, heat, vibration, and proper mounting all affect performance and safety while travelling. Proper installation and stable power supply are just as important as the satellite connection itself, particularly when using Starlink power and installation accessories in mobile setups.

Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit satellite network (often referred to as Amazon LEO or Project Kuiper) is expected to introduce another option for mobile and remote connectivity in the future. It’s not live yet, but it’s worth understanding how it compares.
