Starlink UK Landing Page

Prior to escaping the rat race to run our holiday letting business at Chale Bay Farm on the Isle of Wight we had long careers in technology and especially the Internet, so have all the skills to make things work well for us and our guests and provide advice and consulting to people with internet and wifi issues.

Across our our holiday lets and own house at Chale Bay Farm we currently use Starlink as our primary internet provider, backed up by mobile coverage from EE.  We use Unifi WiFi from Ubiquiti.  We are not affiliated with Starlink or Ubiquiti in any way other than being a user of their technologies.

We realised that over the years we've experienced and solved many of the issues being repeatedly raised on the Starlink UK Facebook page and so have written a series of blogs in as layperson's terms as possible to try to be a free help resource to those with rural properties in similar circumstances. 

Many people without a technical background often don't fully appreciate the difference between the Internet and their WiFi.  This probably comes about because traditionally Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have bundled three things together in one box commonly known as a "router".  The three things are the Internet connection, the "local area network" (LAN) and the gateway that links them together (this is the bit that is actually the router).  The LAN normally comes as WiFi, plus a handful of physical network ethernet ports may also be provided.

We've blogged and cross-linked each area seperately:

• Rural Internet using Starlink
• Fixing Poor WiFi
• What is a Gateway?
• Starlink and Sky Q
