For many businesses, fibre broadband is the ideal choice. It delivers low latency, reliable speeds, and stability that support video conferencing, cloud apps, and VoIP without issue. But fibre isn’t always available—especially in rural areas or on new sites.
This is where Starlink, the satellite-based internet service, is changing the game. It provides high download speeds with rapid deployment almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky. For construction sites, temporary offices, or rural facilities, Starlink can bridge the gap.
However, there are trade-offs. Starlink’s performance can dip during bad weather, and latency is higher than fibre, which makes real-time communication less consistent.
Some businesses now use both: fibre as their main connection and Starlink as backup. This hybrid approach reduces downtime and ensures continuity.
The right choice depends on your business needs. Fibre is best where available, but Starlink is a valuable alternative or backup in locations with poor infrastructure.
