South West WiFi are proud to announce that we are the first Authorised Starlink Installers in The South West and one of the first in the UK.

The South West was one of the first places in the world to have access to the new Starlink broadband internet service. The service was then expanded to cover the whole of the UK.

Starlink promises to revolutionise internet connectivity in rural areas, offering speeds of up to 400Mbps download and 20Mbps+ upload. Whether you’re running a business from home or working remotely, Starlink delivers high-speed internet even in the most remote parts of the South West. This includes key areas like Bournemouth, Bath, Bristol, Plymouth, Swindon, and Torbay. We also cover Exeter, Newton Abbot, Dawlish, Teignmouth, and Tiverton, ensuring reliable connectivity for both homes and businesses across the region.

Due to the low-latency of a Starlink connection it is suitable for video calling systems like Zoom and FaceTime. It also works with WhatsApp, mobile WiFi calling and Digital Voice/VoIP providers. We have now installed over 1000 Starlink systems and have had 100% positive customer satisfaction with the broadband connection.

2. Booking your installation – To book your installation please either call on 01278 614444 or fill in the ‘Request an appointment’ form on this page.

3. Installing your hardware – Starlink requires a clear view of the Northern sky, but depending on the orientation and location of your property, we generally find that there is a suitable place to install the equipment. Our installation service invoices all the brackets, poles and other hardware you need.

The Starlink Version 2 ‘V2’ hardware does not have an ethernet port on the router and comes supplied with a WiFi only connection. You may require an ethernet port to connect your hardware to other networking equipment in your home or business. If this is the case, let us know and we able to supply this for you.

The new Starlink Gen4 kit does have two ethernet ports on the Starlink WiFi router, but requires an extra adaptor to mount the dish that has to be purchased separately.

Depending on where your router is located, we may also need to help you install some additional networking equipment to get your internet connection to the right place.

The Starlink monthly service charge is £75.00 inc VAT – payable directly to Starlink. You are not tied into a long-term contract like many of the traditional telecoms providers. Once your new service is up and running you can cancel the broadband element of any existing fixed line services or your entire phone line rental agreement.

Depending on where the dish needs to be mounted a longer cable may be required – the standard cable is 50ft – upgraded 75ft, and 150ft cables are available. Subject to availability, we normally carry these on our vans and are chargeable upgrades

We also install 5G and 4G broadband. Visit southwestwifi.co.uk/4g-5g for more details.

Starlink Residential Lite

Starlink Residential Lite is set to launch soon across the South West, offering an affordable broadband solution for rural and hard-to-reach areas. With slightly lower speeds but unlimited data, it’s an ideal option for staying connected even in remote locations.

Starlink Lite will provide reliable internet connectivity, offering download speeds between 50-100 Mbps and upload speeds of 5-25 Mbps. Although speeds may decrease during peak times due to deprioritisation, the service remains unlimited and perfect for daily use.

With a lower monthly cost compared to the full Starlink service, Starlink Lite is an excellent option for those seeking a budget-friendly rural broadband solution. Plus, the absence of long-term contracts offers added flexibility to cancel whenever needed.

New Starlink Business packages now available

Starlink Business now offers an entry level pricing tier at £80.00+VAT (£96.00) per month. This level of service includes 40GB of priority data and then falls back to standard data once the 40GB runs out. A static IP address is now available with this service. The next level of service is £150.00+VAT (£180.00) per month and includes 1TB of priority data.

These services offer a significant discount on the original price of the service and is much better value than leased lines and dedicated ethernet circuits.

Once your hardware is purchased it belongs to you and you can cancel the service at anytime.

Wireless Connections / WiFi

Starlink is so fast that the connection can be shared with multiple buildings or neighbours as long as you have a line-of-sight to the other location. This means that you can share the connection with other buildings at your location or share the initial Starlink hardware purchase and monthly charge with someone else.

Starlink delivers fantastic broadband speeds. However, as with all broadband connections, they tend to only include an entry level wireless access point with the included router. Ask us about our mesh wireless access points and UniFi network options if you want the very best WiFi connection available – you can also visit our website for more information – https://southwestwifi.co.uk/wifi-installation/

Digital Voice (VoIP) Telephone

If you want to cut the cord completely and retain your landline number, we are able to offer you our Digital Voice (VoIP) service. This service includes unlimited calls to UK landline and mobile phones.

Digital Voice service works with a free smartphone app which allows you to make and receive phone calls using a landline number from your mobile phone whenever it has an active internet connection (4G/5G or WiFi) or a from a physical corded or cordless phone system connected to your Starlink router (with ethernet adapter). A voicemail service can be configured to email messages from unanswered phone calls.

Can I use Starlink for online gaming and video streaming?2024-08-09T15:48:50+00:00

Yes, many users have reported that Starlink is suitable for online gaming and high-quality video streaming. The low latency and relatively high speeds make it well-suited for real-time applications like gaming and video conferencing.

How does Starlink achieve high speeds?2024-08-09T15:48:55+00:00

Starlink’s high speeds are attributed to several factors:

  • Low Earth Orbit (LEO): Starlink satellites operate in low Earth orbit, reducing the distance that data signals need to travel, which leads to lower latency and faster speeds.
  • Frequent Satellite Passes: With many satellites in the constellation, there’s a higher chance of a satellite being in range at any given time, resulting in more consistent and reliable speeds.
  • Advanced Technology: Starlink satellites use advanced phased-array antennas and laser communication to optimize data transmission, enabling faster and more efficient communication.
Is Starlink faster than traditional satellite internet?2024-08-09T15:49:01+00:00

Yes, Starlink is faster than traditional satellite internet. Traditional satellite internet has been known for high latency and relatively slow speeds due to the signal having to travel great distances between the Earth and geostationary satellites. Starlink’s low Earth orbit satellites significantly reduce this latency and provide faster speeds.

How fast is Starlink?2024-08-09T15:49:08+00:00

Starlink promises internet download speeds that can range from 75 Mbps to 400 Mbps or more. Upload is normally around 20Mbps+ with their standard hardware. Starlink aims to continually improve and upgrade its system to enhance the speed and overall performance.

What is Starlink?2024-08-09T15:49:14+00:00

Starlink is a satellite internet constellation being developed by SpaceX to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access to underserved and remote areas around the world. It consists of a network of thousands of small satellites orbiting the Earth.

What are the advantages of Starlink over traditional broadband?2024-08-09T15:49:23+00:00
  1. Blazing-Fast Speeds: Starlink’s low Earth orbit satellites reduce latency, delivering speeds comparable to or even exceeding traditional wired broadband connections. This is a game-changer for activities like video streaming, online gaming, and data-intensive work tasks.
  2. Reliability: Traditional internet services in rural areas are susceptible to outages due to weather conditions or infrastructure issues. Starlink’s satellite network is designed to provide a consistent connection, unaffected by terrestrial challenges.
  3. Total coverage: Whether you’re nestled in the heart of the rural South Hams or perched on a hillside above Slapton, Starlink’s satellites can reach you. This global coverage ensures that you’re never limited by your geographic location.
