Starlink satellite internet
Fast internet where the cables don’t reach
Kent has plenty of places where decent broadband still hasn’t arrived: farms, vineyards, rural business units, construction sites and marshland offices. Starlink delivers fast satellite internet anywhere with a clear view of the sky. We advise on whether it’s right, install it properly and plug it into your network so it just works.

Use cases
When Starlink makes sense
-
Rural premises
Farms, estates, vineyards and countryside units stuck on slow copper broadband.
-
Temporary sites
Construction sites, events and pop-up offices that need internet in days, not months.
-
Waiting for fibre
New premises where the leased line or FTTP install is still weeks away.
-
Backup connection
A completely separate path to the internet if your main line fails.
Resilience
The backup line that doesn’t share your cables
Most backup connections still rely on local infrastructure. A 4G mast can go down in the same power cut, and a second broadband line may run through the same duct as the first. Starlink takes a completely different route, via satellite, which makes it an excellent failover for businesses that can’t afford to go offline.
We connect it to your firewall so it takes over automatically when the main line drops.
Typical download speeds
Availability and speed depend on your exact address. We check before recommending anything.
Why use us
More than a dish on the roof
Starlink kit is easy to buy, but getting it to work well for a business takes more than plugging it in. We survey for a clear view of the sky, mount the dish securely, run proper cabling into the building, and integrate it with your firewall, Wi-Fi and phones, rather than leaving a separate router in the corner.
- Site survey for obstructions such as trees, buildings and roof lines
- Secure mounting and weatherproof cable routes
- Integration with your existing firewall and Wi-Fi
- Monitoring and support as part of your IT
FAQ
Starlink questions
Can’t see your question? Call 01843 482 279 or email hello@squareoneit.co.uk. You’ll get a straight answer from an engineer.
How fast is Starlink?
Speeds vary with location, plan and network load, but business users commonly see download speeds of 100 Mbps or more, with lower upload speeds. That’s a transformative upgrade for sites stuck on slow copper broadband.
Does Starlink work for Teams calls and VoIP?
Yes. Latency is low enough for video calls and VoIP to work well in most cases.
Does weather affect it?
Very heavy rain can briefly reduce performance, and the dish needs a clear view of the sky. Our survey checks the best mounting position for your site.
Can Starlink be a backup to our fibre?
Yes, and it’s an excellent one, because it doesn’t share any local cabling with your main line. We set it up to take over automatically.
