Starling would be great and I love it, but in this case it would be a much worse solution with the same distribution issues, unless your suggesting I get 5 dishes and set them up independently in the various sections of the house and outbuildings?

I've just checked speeds, Starlink runs at between 25 - 220 Mb/s

That could be worse than we have with FTTC

I'm looking to get the roaming option for the boat, only £50 a month and only 50GB, but more than adequate for my current needs. But yeah, I though the speeds were higher.

50GB of data transfer?

I do that in a day, I'm not joking 🥺

I'm seriously thinking of getting Starlink for when we go cruising.

I've seen photos of cruisers with a Starlink dish sitting on their balcony 😂

Yeah there's a starlink for boats group on FB, quite a lot of people with experience which vary. I think the available plans have been adjusted a few tines now to take account of the various ways people want to use it.

Mike - CAT5 cable could also quitely be cat5E. Check for that.

That's 4 twisted pair inside, and mucho faster than regular cat5.

Theoretically 1GB depending on local interference. Cat6 is same wiring (4xTP), but with more/better shielding.

Yes I’m having a similar discussion in another part of this thread.

I’m going to do some tests in the coming days.

Thank you 🙏
