Frequently Asked Questions

What is Starlink and how does it work?

Starlink is SpaceX's satellite internet service using thousands of low-earth orbit satellites. Unlike traditional satellite internet (geostationary, high latency), Starlink's satellites orbit closer to Earth, providing latency comparable to terrestrial connections (20-50ms) with speeds of 50-200Mbps.

Is Starlink suitable for business use?

Starlink offers a business tier with priority data and better support. It's excellent for: rural locations without wired alternatives; temporary/mobile sites; backup connectivity; and remote workers in areas with poor internet. Less suitable as primary connection where fibre/leased lines are available, SLA and consistency concerns.

How reliable is Starlink compared to wired connections?

Starlink reliability has improved significantly but doesn't match leased lines. Weather can affect performance; obstructions cause issues; and capacity varies by cell. Best used as: primary where alternatives don't exist, or backup where they do. Don't rely on it for mission-critical applications without backup.

What equipment is needed for Starlink?

Starlink provides: phased array antenna ('Dishy'); router/power unit; and mounting hardware. The antenna needs clear sky view, roof mounting typical. Business can add: ethernet adapter for wired connections; and mesh units for larger coverage. Initial equipment cost: £450+ residential, more for business.

How does Starlink pricing work?

Residential: ~£75/month + ~£450 equipment. Business (priority): ~£165/month + ~£2,000+ equipment. Business gets: priority data during congestion; better support; and portability options. Pricing may change, Starlink has adjusted frequently. No long-term contracts typically required.
