Dee Jay…. what can I say, that’s possibly the best response I could’ve ever asked for.

You do sound like you’re super happy with the Starlink which is a real weight off my mind as you’ve definitely addressed all my concerns.

I am unable to get any kind of broadband through a phone line or FTTP where I live, and if you look on any of the mobile broadband websites, it also states that 5G is not available either inside or out. I considered myself hugely lucky at as I managed to get a router and a Sim and have fantastic speed. Its been this way for quite some time , probably two years now and then this last month it’s dropped to where there is pretty much enough to run the fire stick and that’s all. I am hoping it comes back.

Starlink, seems like a fantastic option, although I’m sure my other half would not be happy about the electricity consumption. As for the cost I don’t really mind as I’ve looked at satellite broadband, many many times in the past and it was hugely expensive so I never did bite the bullet. I just suffered with no Internet connection at all. The fact that it’s £75 is a relative bargain to what prices I’ve seen it at.

I do love to game and the ping on my Sim card (when working correctly) is about 35 to 42. However, when I’m on my games it shows differently, it usually shows on there at about 21 to 29. If the Starlink did a similar thing, I think it would be offering me a similar service to what I had when the Sim card was performing correctly. I would definitely be happy about that.

Thank you so much for your fabulous response once again, I really do appreciate it. If I can win my other half round re-electricity usage, I think I’d be a winner.
you checked with https://bidb.uk to see what you can actually get? or even https://one.ntwork to see if anything is happening nearby?
 
Hi, Newbie here... (Gerry)
Having had enough of BT now I decided to move on. It's pretty remote where I live, near Lands end. I've been doing the research on Star linik and am quite surprised by it? BT currently charge me £75 a month for 28mbps download and about 7mbps upload. The area I live is currently over subscribed and nothing has improved in 10 years since I got the half fibre optic and rest wired. BT promised in 2019 that full fibre was coming but to date I'm told it's still 2 years away?
My speed was over 55mbps in 2012 but steadily the speed has come down and the price keeps going up. I put in a complaint to BT before christmas 2023 about my service, losing connection, outage, slow speed, lagging on streaming movies on Amazon Prime or Youtube. They (BT) rang today and told me I had too much connected to my hub and that was the problem?
That broke the camels back. I've looked at the deals with Starlink and as I can see the equipment is currently half price?
My problem is that my contract doesn't end with BT until end September 2024 this year so still 190 days to go. If I were to act now and buy starlink at the offer price would I need to connect right away or can I delay connecting it until September?
I've looked everywhere for the answer and haven't found it?
Does anyone know?
Thank you in anticipation.
Gerry.
 
You can buy the kit now, activate it for a month - see if you like it - send it back if you don't. If you do like it, cancel it after a month, keep the kit, reactivate in September, no problemo.
 
With regards to power consumption - do the dishy's still heat up to melt snow off them? This presumably accounts for what the power consumption can look quite high on the max end of the range?

It's called snow melt in the app, but in reality it's a higher power mode that is turned on in more adverse weather conditions. Remember that your dish has to send signals through clouds and rain.

It has now used 10.422 kWh in 9.5 days, which again @ 24.85p a unit works out at £8.29 a month. When you are forking out £75 a month for Starlink, I think another £9 a month is not that much on top. Again, all depends on how much you want decent speed! It's that, or wait for FTTP, or FTTPoD?

My quote for FTTPoD only 12 months ago was 6 figures... But I had access to 60Mbps/120Mbps depending on if I wanted to keep running 2 x VDSL modems. There are many swings and roundabouts in this!

Just checked Starlink pricing for our very rural but 5G covered family home back in Ireland and it’s barely more expensive than an unlimited 5G sim and router… when did it get so cheap?
 
Might be useful for people deciding if they should pull the trigger or not, there aren't usually many deals on starlink so I thought we might have a thread like the mobile ones.

Anyway, Costco have an offer at the moment. For the residential kit

£224.99 (claiming this is 50% off)
The deal also includes 2 months subscription too.

sorry, i didn't realise.

Its back!

No reason why not that I can think of?
 
Yes, you just have to let them know where your current address is.

Whether they put you back to the UK rate though after 30 days is anyone guess?
 
I wonder if Costco was an extension of the Starlink refurbished units, that they didn't sell and offer a 2 months service to get rid of them.

Still poor play, but that's the only reason I can think off to sent you a unit like that.

I would like to think it's not, and I just got a return. But who knows. They've blocked me from buying another one now, if I do, it says i've reached the maximum amount of units I can purchase. Who knows, but yeah the official refurb ones direct from starlink are cheaper, but then you don't get 2 months free. :rolleyes:
