Been using fastmail for over 10 years and it's fantastic. Two thing you should be aware though: 1st Australia is part of the five eyes, 2nd they have their servers (last I checked) in new york.

I considered switching from Proton to Fastmail, because Proton seems to run slow in Australia. Immediately stopped considering once I realized they delete your account if you don't pay for 6 months (and by extension, you'll lose all your connected accounts).

So if you're homeless, arrested, deported, or in a coma and come out of it you'll end up losing your entire digital life.
