But the spread angle is inversely proportionate to the aperture.
If you send multiple probes that spread out a bit and couple them optically, they can transmit coherently with a huge effective aperture. (like the reverse of a telescope array)

And if the black hole is big enough, you can maybe use its gravitational field to increase the aperture using some mathematical sorcery.
