Frequently Asked Questions
How does Starlink internet work?
Starlink provides internet through a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites operated by SpaceX. The system uses a satellite dish (commonly referred to as “Dishy”), a Wi-Fi router, and a power supply to deliver broadband internet to homes and businesses, especially in remote or rural areas.
What equipment do I need for Starlink?
When you order Starlink, you receive a hardware kit that includes a satellite dish, mounting base, power cable, router, and wifi modem. We supply all necessary mounting hardware—including cyclone-rated options—so there's no need to order anything online. Depending on your property layout, optional mounting accessories are available for roof, wall, or pole installations.
How fast is Starlink internet?
Speeds vary by location and network congestion, but most users experience download speeds between 50 Mbps and 250 Mbps, with upload speeds ranging from 10 to 40 Mbps. Latency is generally between 20 and 50 milliseconds, fast enough for video calls, gaming, streaming, and everyday internet use.
