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: https://somersetcomms.co.uk/4g-5g/ for more details.
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.

FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Starlink promises internet speeds that can range from 75 Mbps to 350 Mbps or more. Starlink aims to continually improve and upgrade its system to enhance the speed and overall performance.
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.
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.
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 much does the Starlink installation cost? The cost of Starlink installation consists of two main components: the hardware cost and the cost of professional installation. Currently Starlink charge £299.00 for the standard Starlink dish and router. Installation cost depends on location of dish, bracketry required and the amount of time the Starlink kit takes to install. The monthly standard service charge is £62.50+VAT per month (£75.00).
