Customer oredered the Starlink system and arranged for us to install, the dish was fitted up on the side of the chimney due to trees we drilled it as a solid stack with cable routed into the lounge.

From 5mbs BT up to 230mbs Starlink

So what is Starlink

WORLD'S MOST ADVANCED BROADBAND SATELLITE INTERNET

Starlink is the world's first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, video calls and more.

Leveraging advanced satellites and user hardware coupled with our deep experience with both spacecraft and on-orbit operations, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to users all over the world.

HOW STARLINK WORKS

Most satellite internet services come from single geostationary satellites that orbit the planet at 35,786 km. As a result, the round trip data time between the user and satellite—also known as latency—is high, making it nearly impossible to support streaming, online gaming, video calls or other high data rate activities.

Starlink is a constellation of thousands of satellites that orbit the planet much closer to Earth, at about 550km, and cover the entire globe. Because Starlink satellites are in a low orbit, latency is significantly lower—around 25 ms vs 600+ ms.

As you can see Starlink is a clever bit of kit but has some challenges regarding installation in the UK due to thick stone walls and line of site issues so that's where a professional installation is usually needed here are a couple of examples of our installations.
