With Starlink, users can engage in activities that historically have not been possible with satellite internet.

Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency service is made possible via the world’s largest constellation of highly advanced satellites operating in a low orbit around the Earth.

EASY SELF-INSTALL
Your Starlink Kit arrives with everything you need to get online in minutes including your Starlink, WiFi router, cables and base.

NO CONTRACTS, 30-DAY TRIAL
Long term contracts prevent both parties from making sensible changes when necessary.

With Starlink, it’s a fair deal both ways. Starlink can adjust terms and pricing as needed, and customers can cancel at any time, for any reason.

Try any Starlink Service for 30 days and, if not satisfied, return the hardware for a full refund.

TRAVEL WITH STARLINK
With Starlink’s Mobile plans, you can take your high-speed, low-latency internet service with you wherever you go.

Pause and resume your plan based on your travel needs and stay connected in any location where Starlink is available.

MANAGE STARLINK ON THE MOBILE APP
The Starlink app helps you customize settings, receive updates, access Support, and see real time performance data like download speed, latency, and uptime.

Download the app to determine the best set up location before install. Starlink needs a clear view of the sky to connect to satellites.

What kind of real-life speeds are we talking about? I have some friends living on the west coast of Scotland, and to this day's BT struggles to deliver 6mb ADSL broadband to theirs homes
16th May 2023
I use it daily in lancs. 150-300 down, 10-30 up. Pretty stable. I use it for my job every day
16th May 2023
Is there anything stopping me from getting rural rather than roam? I live on a narrowboat and continually cruise (slowly)
16th May 2023
Yes. You are geolocked to a cell. You'll only be able to cruise something like 15 miles from your registered address.

That said, you could just get rural. If it doesn't work, just add roam. it's a click of a box on the admin console
16th May 2023
This seems like a great option, especially adding an ExpressVPN Router to the setup.

Before deciding on this; it's worth getting a few Pay As You Go SIMs from different networks to test their speeds at your home via a 4G/5G Router.

If that doesn't offer the speed you require, Amazon will accept your Return/Refund request for the router.

If it does work; you could get a Contract Unlimited Data SIM with the best network from your testing. (edited)
16th May 2023
Best thing we ever did was get Starlink. The only option we had was BT, less than 5 down and 0.5 up yet we’re 2 miles from a town. They said they had no intention of increasing our speeds and that was that! BT really are an awful company. We now get up to 200 down and 20 up.
16th May 2023
I have this at my home in the Highlands, we get about 90mbps there, which is unbelievable for the area. Allows me to spend lots more time there as I can work remotely. The future is exciting.
16th May 2023
I paid full price a couple months ago which is frustrating. Now they're bringing out all of these hardware deals, clearly getting rid of old stock ready for the next model of dish. They'll be expecting you to upgrade them every couple of years like what happens with mobile phones. The standard wifi router they send you is SHOCKINGLY poor; you will need to pay for the ethernet adaptor at a bare minimum (doesn't even come with a port!!). The wifi will not reach to the next room from the router and you will find yourself purchasing a 3rd party router to make up for it. And then don't expect to become a professional gamer because 300+ms latency certainly isn't low imo. Having said all that, I am still handing over my £75 a month because it is the best service where I live (also remember that the dish uses a lot more electricity so expect an extra £25 of the electricity bill lol)
16th May 2023
There’s a refund the difference program they’re running as long as you fall in the rural category you’ll be entitled to it back. Check the homepage out 🏻
16th May 2023
Starlink is going to flop. The company will probably still be around in 10 years providing... whatever, but the domestic ISP is just not sustainable. Starlink's commercial success is completely dependant on the Starship rocket that just failed, and that project already has a tonne massive problems and is years behind schedule. Yes, everyone knows spaceflight isn't easy, but if you compare Starship to the Saturn V rocket that went to the moon in 1967 (55 years ago) and had a 100% success rate with the technology of that ear, it's frankly shocking that Starship failed as badly as it did. I used to be a Musk fan, and he may have had success in the past, but his judgement nowadays is seriously lacking, and it's become clear he has taken the credit for the achievements of others while pretening to be a genius.
16th May 2023
Why is it dependent on Starship?? That's the Mars Mission rocket, Spacex is launching Falcon 9 rockets on a regular basis without any issues and reusing the boosters to save money. Yes, I agree its not cheap to us in the UK, compared to other providers, but it's not dependent on Starship being a success.
16th May 2023
I like the idea of starlink, but really cannot justify in my head the crazy cost
16th May 2023
if you are in some very rural areas of Scotland and Wales. Going from 0 internet, to 100+ MB/s brings life changing job opportunities in this day and age. (edited)
16th May 2023
Just watched a YT video and someone pointed out how power hungry these are…
16th May 2023
The above is based on 18.54p/kWh.

So double that now. Quick maths £320 in Leccy
16th May 2023
This is worth a separate post in addition to the post I have already made >

"The Government is providing up to £210m worth of voucher funding as immediate help for people experiencing slow broadband speeds in rural areas.

Vouchers worth up to £4,500 for homes and businesses help to cover the costs of installing gigabit broadband to people’s doorsteps.

Check below if you’re eligible for a voucher at your address."

gigabitvoucher.culture.gov.uk/

Using the Gigabit voucher scheme you can find out if an applicable voucher is available to fund your address for FTTP. If it is then you get a list of infrastructure partners you can contact for more information.

This is a genuine scheme. My address was applicable for a voucher I spoke with Airband about it who were listed as an infrastructure partner and now my address is part of an FTTP build and I've been told September / October 2023 is the planned install date of FTTP in my postcode/street.
16th May 2023
Apparently our address is urban but we have been battling so much with extremely poor broadband that won’t go above 10mb. So Starlink is sadly our only option if we want better speeds. It’s a shame they simply assume that if you are ‘urban’ then you automatically can receive acceptable broadband as it’s not true.

Thanks for sharing this though, hopefully it helps others.
16th May 2023
"NO CONTRACTS, 30-DAY TRIAL
Long term contracts prevent both parties from making sensible changes when necessary. "

Is this a way of telling we will increase the cost anytime we like and you can cancel us, and your £99 (or £400-ish) is gone?
16th May 2023
Honestly. Yes.

They essentially have no obligation to provide service, quality of service or price beyond the 30 day period.

That said, in my experience it's become cheaper and more reliable. But who knows what Elon will do when he's going full pacman at 3am in the morning
17th May 2023
Bizarre. If Sky or BT offered the same service for the same price this would be a freezing deal
17th May 2023
Sky and BT don't though. That's the point. They provide less than half the service for half the price - so worse value for rural homes in many cases.

Fibre roll-out is slow and this is available NOW.
17th May 2023
Once more people sign up the speeds will start to drop as more people saturate the system
17th May 2023
They launch 100s of satellites every year
26th May 2023
I have been up and running for 72 hours. My average speed down is between 180 and 200 mbps. So all good in that aspect. I have placed the Starlink router into bypass mode and am using a wifi6 router as this gives a stronger Wi-Fi signal. The downside is I have had a few minor outages I presume as one satellite passes to another. The longest was 15 secs. A total of 4 in the last 12 hours with the shortest 2 secs. Service wasn’t actually affected because I was streaming.
It’s a lot of money pcm but having had internet crawling along for years it’s a remarkable advance and I will give it my best shot until we finally get fro… so may be several years!
26th May 2023
Fttp
16th May 2023
Great deal for anyone who genuinely has no other option, i'm thinking Scottish Highlands and other remote places where 4g is probably not good / non existent and theirs no Fibre.
16th May 2023
Could a set of neighbours potentially get one, and then just run Ethernet wires between each others houses, so they can split the costs?
16th May 2023
I'd say this is viable ONLY if both homes are willing to buy routers and install ExpressVPN onto them.

(Can share an ExpressVPN Sub)

Route the main Starlink router into the ExpressVPN routers via Ethernet.

Turn off Wi-Fi functionality on the Starlink Router.

The households ONLY use the ExpressVPN routers, and never use the Starlink one.

This means that all internet usage is private and nobody can be held responsible for any type of internet usage.

Why? Read the other comments.

People do some "shady" stuff when they think they won't get caught. Tamest of all; piracy.

"Trust Me Bro" isn't a good plan.
16th May 2023
4g/5g modem with a directional antenna still provides cheaper and lower latency connectivity. I did toy around with Starlink but it's not cheap enough in the UK to consider it. Unless you are really really rural, I don't see the point.
16th May 2023
Really really rural is exactly the point of the product
16th May 2023
We all have to start somewhere OP but I suspect this will get rather chilly.

Don't be put off though
Author
16th May 2023
Ok.
16th May 2023
Speeds not advertised for 75/month?

And then to have internet at the behest of that nutjob Elon?

Crazy deal.
16th May 2023
Elon is a genius ✌️
16th May 2023
If you live in the middle of nowhere, I get this. £75 a month will bring jobs, Netflix and video calls.. And all at once. It'll feel life changing, for some. If you live in London.. Not so much. Good job OP
17th May 2023
I've lived in 4 different locations in Scotland, internet was always under 3mb/s download and 0.3mb/s upload. Unable to download large files, play games online, watch Netflix etc.
Would love to go for this but parents don't care enough to pay this, and I'm young and can't afford it
20th May 2023
How is life in 2005 treating you?
16th May 2023
I put in for this in advance, but by the time it has actually became available I am getting 90Mbps from cellphone based broadband, and they had brought fibre-to-the-premises to my remote house months ago (which I didn't bother hooking up as I was moving). So, too late and too expensive.
17th May 2023
The exact same thing with me, when I first signed up to get notifications I was on less than 10Mbps and basically no 3G/4G coverage (I'm not even that rural). Since then Openreach upgraded the local cabinet to do 80/20 then KCOM came sniffing with FTTP so Openreach matched them and now I have gigabit, 3G/4G coverage is still unusable but its come too late for Starlink...
16th May 2023
Do you want to pay 3 times more for your internet? ........ it has spaceX on it.
16th May 2023
It's not for you. It's for people in places with terrible access or nothing at all.
16th May 2023
Apparently my address in windsor is classed as rural
16th May 2023
I think they've taken any addresses that are unable to get the standard 40Mbps VDSL packages from openreach and classed those as rural.

My old address in Maidenhead could get a max of 20Mb and qualifies too lol
16th May 2023
I believe it is still region-blocked (satellite lock?).
"Internet anywhere" sounds great unless you plan to relocate often.
16th May 2023
Pretty sure this is done to prevent people buying the hardware at the Nigerian prices for instance, then taking it to Europe where it would've cost 10x the price. Entirely fair, really, but the regional pricing thing will evolve over time.
16th May 2023
This is just a fish to harvest interest
16th May 2023
sad day when a G7 country needs starlink because our infrastructure is diabolical. Estonia have top internet speeds and pay less tax. shocking
16th May 2023
Rural Estonia do not.
Remember the majority of there country is in one amazing city.

Which is really nice, ties top 2 in my former Soviet cities.
16th May 2023
literally placed an order yesterday with hardware rental at £15 a month. lets see if i'm able to cancel it and get this offer as my postcode is eligble!
16th May 2023
This is the link you'll need: starlink.typeform.com/to/…com
16th May 2023
Thanks for posting this! Starlink is the only option at one of our family homes where we can get broadband that’s over 10mb speed. We are sick of trying various providers who lie and promise high speeds when for some reason it’s just impossible at this particular house. Looks like we qualify for the rural offer so I think it’s time to sign up now that the eye watering setup fees are reduced!
16th May 2023
I have been thinking about this for a while and I live in a village with only low-ish speed broadband. I have been here for 7 years with the likes of Virgin 'thinking' of adding in high speed broadband. So with the price of the equipment coming down to a level that isn't massively offensive and improvements to latency, from when it was originally launched, I have decided to go for it. Yes the higher monthly cost is a thing, for sure, but then it comes down to exactly what you use it for and how much you value the speed.

If all else fails, at £99 for the equipment, I'm sure there will be punters on the second hand market for the equipment if it doesn't work out.
16th May 2023
I'm in exactly the same situation and have just placed my order. Currently use a 4G router which can only be classed as 'Ok', but with 4 adults in the house, often streaming or downloading it generally creaks along.
17th May 2023
Did anyone else wonder for a second why Reebok were charging £99 for hardware?
18th May 2023
I have purchased. I live in a semi rural location in a village in Yorkshire. 5g doesn’t exist here and 4g maxes out around 15mbps no matter which network. BT Openreach improved our broadband connection recently to 18mbps! Despite Virgin and City fibre being less than a mile away we aren’t even in consideration. I have tried a 4g aerial and my MP! Yes Starlink is expensive and power hungry BUT it will transform our on line experience! So I have gone and pulled the trigger. Will give it a go for 30 days and see where we go, so hot from me:)

Apparently i'm rural, living in the suburbs of Sheffield

How fortuitous !
16th May 2023
Thinking of buying one of these just for the hell of it (only at £99, not £300 so will need a willing hand). But not for the UK, instead I want to bring to Italy so can use at my parent's house in the mountains where internet is pitiful. My understanding is that I can simply turn on and off the data for one month when we go there for the summer?
16th May 2023
Correct
16th May 2023
Can you buy the equipment and take it anywhere in the world with you to connect?
16th May 2023
I was looking for the same and found out that there is different plan for Global Roam that you need to purchase. I am guessing the hardware remains same so hopefully should work. I am planning to buy the hardware and take it to Canada if it works.
16th May 2023
Once this has regulatory approval world wide the governments are going to go ape for this...
We pay about 20k for a 20gb data SIM, capped to 284Kbs via a Sailor 250 fleet broadband system...
Think of that prices and performance change.

I could actually push updates instead of flying out with usb sticks

And security isn't an issue, we even use Asian SIM card providers at times. It all goes through some rather insane encryption anyway.
17th May 2023
Not a bad deal for those who need it
17th May 2023
I think if you're on the fence about this, and it's not the price putting you off. I'd for go for it, the monthly charge will only come down with the years. And if per chance you do get fibre or decent enough internet to your location it's no problem cancling your monthly payments, and setting up a contracted wired connection again.
17th May 2023
Ordered thanks pitiful broadband in Scotland where I live. Pay the same per month as people in my local town which has 500mb Im lucky if I get 11mb

18th May 2023
Thanks OP. I'm rural enough that I may give this a go and see how it works.

I'm not clear on what it costs if I wanted to use either camping away from home in UK or travelling in the EU. I've tried reading the website and not 100% clear to me. Anyone help with those scenarios?
18th May 2023
Answering my own question - I think you just update to Roam in the app and pay the £85. Guess I'll find out...
