🛰️ Starlink Broadband: High-Speed Internet Anywhere You Live

 

Starlink broadband, developed by SpaceX, is revolutionizing internet connectivity, especially for rural and remote areas. Utilizing a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to areas where traditional broadband is unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable.

🚀 What is Starlink?

 

Starlink is a satellite internet service that leverages a network of over 5,000 satellites orbiting at approximately 550 km above Earth. Unlike traditional satellite providers that operate in higher geostationary orbits (over 35,000 km), Starlink’s low-orbit satellites dramatically reduce latency and improve connection quality.

⚡ Starlink Internet Speeds and Performance

 

Starlink users can expect:

  • Download speeds: 150 Mbps to 300 Mbps (with some users experiencing up to 300 Mbps)

  • Upload speeds: 10 Mbps to 40 Mbps

  • Latency: As low as 20 ms in optimal conditions

These performance metrics rival or even surpass many DSL and fixed wireless options in underserved regions.

Starlink is continuously upgrading its infrastructure, and speeds are expected to improve with the deployment of more satellites and the implementation of laser inter-satellite links (also known as space lasers), which enhance data routing and reduce dependency on ground stations.

Why do I need a clear “field of view” to use Starlink Broadband?

If you could see the connection between a Starlink satellite and your Starlink, it would look like a single beam between the two objects. As the satellite moves, the beam also moves.

The area within which this beam moves is the “field of view”. If any object such as a tree, chimney, pole, etc. interrupts the path of the beam, even briefly, your internet service will be interrupted which is why we recommend a roof installation for your satellite dish giving you the best line of sight with no obstructions.

In early service, the required clear field of view is a 100-degree cone around the centre of the dish (after tilting) with a 25 degree elevation minimum. Some obstructions are worse than others. Obstructions low in the sky will cause more outages because satellites are in this area of the sky more frequently.

The best guidance we can give is to install your Starlink at the highest elevation possible, with a clear view of the sky. Users who live in areas with lots of tall trees, buildings, would benefit from a professional roof installation by the team at The AV Guys. However as more satellites are launched, the field of view constraints will decrease, enabling a wider variety of users.

The AV Guys would recommend installing your Starlink dish at height whether that is on the chimney stack or attached to the apex of the building. This will give your starlink dish the best possible signal away form any obstructions.

I live in an apartment building – can I use Starlink?

Yes, there are Starlink customers that live in apartment buildings, town houses and other multi-family buildings that successfully use Starlink (e.g. side of building, balcony, roof, lawn, etc.). Prior to ordering Starlink, we recommend coordinating with your landlord and The AV Guys to find a suitable outdoor installation location that has a clear field of view, which is important to maintain connection between satellites and your Starlink. You can download the Starlink App to check that you do not have any obstructions blocking Starlink’s view of the sky. Note that Starlink will typically point north in the northern hemisphere & south in the southern hemisphere.
