Based on your requirements, the carrier that has the fastest real-world upload and download speeds in Tocumwal is difficult to determine without actual field testing or consulting with network coverage maps provided by the mobile carriers themselves.

1. However, there are a few steps you can take to get a better idea of which carrier may be the most suitable for your needs:

2. Check network coverage maps: Major mobile carriers usually provide coverage maps on their websites that can give you a general idea of the signal strength and network coverage in the Tocumwal area.

3. Consult online speed test results: You can also check online speed test results for Tocumwal from various sources such as Ookla or OpenSignal. These websites allow you to test the network speeds of various carriers and compare their results.

Ask local residents or businesses: You can also ask local residents or businesses in the Tocumwal area about their experiences with different mobile carriers and their network speeds.

Keep in mind that network speeds can vary depending on the location, the type of device, and the number of people using the network. It's important to do some research and testing to find the best carrier for your specific needs.<|im_end|>

Why would it change because of the weather?<|im_end|>

That's a great question! While the effect might go unnoticed, it is not unusual to encounter such issues due to weather conditions. There several reasons why it could get affected by such.
Namely,

1. Atmospheric Interference: Weather can affect the way radio waves travel through the atmosphere and this can cause interference or signal attenuation that can affect your signal strength and quality. For example, thunderstorms or heavy rainfall can cause a phenomenon known as attenuation, in which the radio waves are absorbed or scattered by the raindrops or clouds, resulting in a weaker signal and slower data transmission speeds.

2. Network Congestion: Extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes or snowstorms can cause power outages, damage to infrastructure, and disruptions to communication networks, resulting in network congestion and slower data transfer speeds.

3. Physical Obstacles: Weather conditions such as fog, haze, or heavy rain can obscure the line of sight between your device and the cell tower, resulting in weaker signal strength and slower speeds.

4. Temperature Changes: Temperature changes can cause physical changes to the equipment and transmission medium that can affect signal quality and strength. For example, extreme heat can cause devices to overheat, causing performance issues, while extreme cold can cause the transmission medium to contract, resulting in signal loss.<|im_end|>
