Be prepared to spend more time and money for optimal performance though.
But does it deliver everything it promises?
Or is it pie-in-the-sky stuff?
We put Starlink to the test.
If youre looking for thebest small business routerand ISP, Starlink for Businesses offers separate subscription plans.
The other caveat when signing up for Starlink is hardware costs.
Traditionally, this has required you to pay for sign up but Starlink has clearly responded to customer feedback.
There are special promotions in place.
For instance, users in rural Canada can currently benefit from over 70% off hardware prices.
Customers in certain countries can also choose to rent the hardware instead of buying.
When placing your order, you could also choose to purchase an Ethernet adapter for an extra $40.
This is because the supplied Starlink Router has no Ethernet port of its own.
Starlink subscriptions come with a 30-day free trial.
you’re free to cancel your subscription at any time.
Still, there’s a catch.
Putting the cable and dish on the ground also exposes the hardware to the elements.
Ideally the dish should be fixed permanently in a location with an unobstructed view of the sky.
The Starlink website can come to the rescue here.
The other issue of course is that of the router.
The ‘Starlink Speed’ for downloads was 71 Mbps and the upload was 15 Mbps.
In many cases it works out to be more cost effective than using mobile broadband.
