What is Starlink?

Created by SpaceX, Starlink satellite internet is a system that takes your connection to new heights. Using a growing network of advanced satellites in low Earth orbit, it delivers high-speed internet to parts of Australia where mobile towers and landlines often fall short.

In large or multi-storey homes, a mesh Wi-Fi system is a clever companion to your Starlink, helping the signal travel further.

See how Starlink outshines the competition:

  • Fixed-Line - Unlike NBN fibre or copper connections that rely on ground infrastructure, Starlink beams internet straight from the sky.
  • Mobile Broadband - In areas where towers drop out or struggle to keep up, Starlink offers more stable speeds and broader coverage.

How does Starlink work?

The sky’s no longer the limit! Starlink connects you to thousands of satellites orbiting much closer to Earth than traditional satellite providers. With satellites orbiting closer to Earth, Starlink reduces the distance data needs to travel, delivering faster and more reliable internet.

Each kit includes a Starlink dish that communicates with overhead satellites and a router that broadcasts the Wi-Fi signal throughout your space. The Starlink App makes setup a breeze, guiding you through aligning your dish, checking for obstructions, and monitoring signal strength.

Is Starlink really worth it?

Whether you’re in a suburb with unreliable coverage or off the beaten track, Starlink is your lifeline to staying connected. Here’s why it’s making waves:

  • Faster Speeds - Enjoy high-speed, low-latency internet that’s fast enough to stream, game, and video call without interruption.
  • More Reliable Connection - Sick of patchy mobile coverage or sluggish fixed-line services? Starlink keeps you online, even where others drop out.
  • Wider Reach - From outback paddocks and off-grid cabins to suburban dead zones, Starlink’s coverage stretches further than you might expect.
  • Growing Network - With more satellites launching into orbit, coverage is expanding fast – and only getting stronger.

Starlink offers Standard and Mini hardware kits with a one-time setup fee, plus flexible monthly plans that come with no lock-in contracts. Before making the switch, think about how satellite internet fits into your day-to-day. Think location, usage, speed, reliability during peak times, and how this stacks up against your current plan.

Where can I use satellite internet?

Starlink satellite internet can work almost anywhere – as long as there’s a clear view of the sky! From rural properties to campsites, caravans and coastlines, it’s a reliable way to stay connected wherever the road (or dirt track) takes you.

Want your connection to stay strong? Here are a few ground rules to follow:

  • Power - Whether you're remote or on the road, your dish still needs electricity to operate, so make sure you have a power setup in place.
  • Setup Time - Satellite alignment can take up to an hour, so if you’re on a tight schedule or moving frequently, allow extra time to get it up and running.
  • Clear View - For the best signal, your dish needs an unobstructed view of the sky. Tall trees, buildings, or uneven terrain can interfere with the signal and affect performance.

What’s the difference between Starlink and Starlink Mini?

Deciding between them depends on your internet needs and lifestyle. Both options come with a Starlink dish, but while the Standard includes a separate router for broader coverage and higher performance, the Mini features an integrated router for a compact solution.
