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 🙏
