The Challenge: Slow Broadband in Rural Area
In rural areas, slow broadband speeds can be a major challenge, especially for those working from home. This was the case for a homeowner in Thornby, Northampton who struggled with speeds of just 2 Mbps on an aging BT connection. With limited infrastructure and a £15,000 upgrade quoted by BT, they needed a better solution – fast! The challenges the homeowner faced were:
- Located in a rural area with only six properties on the road
- Stuck with an outdated BT connection providing just 1.8-2Mbps
- Advised that upgrading infrastructure would cost £15,000
- Home office setup made fast, reliable internet a necessity
The Solution: Starlink Installation
To bypass the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades, our team installed a Starlink Gen 3 Dish, a next-generation satellite broadband solution. Unlike traditional satellite internet, Starlink delivers low-latency, high-speed connectivity by using a network of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
The Results: Significantly Faster Broadband Speeds
- Broadband speeds jumped from 1.8Mbps to 242Mbps
- The client now enjoys seamless video calls, faster downloads, and reliable connectivity for home office work
- The upgrade was described as “life-changing”
- The client rated our service as the best they’ve ever received
The Investment:
- Starlink Gen 3 Dish installation: £300
- Starlink equipment purchase: £300
- Ongoing monthly service fee: £75
