I want to move to a rental property where the broadband internet is very poor. I'm looking to buy a starlink dish to resolve the problem but the only outdoor location I can place it is on the far end of a roof terrace - the property is a penthouse appartment. The property wall sits to the west of where the dish would be and is about 10 foot high. There's a completely clear view to the North, East and South. The property is in Brighton, UK. Is there any way of checking if the location would be suitable before renting the property and buying the dish?
Any help would be appreciated
You’re welcome!
Yes, it’s very handy 👍
Our system is in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. We average about 80+ download and 10+ upload.
It leaves something to be desired that’s for sure.. I am one of the developers of this website and filling in the customer service gaps is one of the main reasons we created it. They haven’t really improved the service unfortunately. Although if you are in a good location there seems to be very little maintenance needed compared to some providers.
Hi Chris, welcome to the Forum!
Is there any chance you can go on site to check the place before you rent and buy the dish? If you can go on site and are able to be in the location your dish would go you can have the Starlink app downloaded on your phone, on the main page you will find something labelled “Obstructions” you will select that and then push “check for obstructions” on the next page. It will then get you to select what dish you have or will have which in most cases will be the rectangle one on the top left of my screen (stands taller in the picture). Once you have selected a dish icon it will then walk you through the rest of the process to scan the sky for obstructions. This should give you a good idea whether or not that location will work for you System.
