Starlink on the roof, or up a pole.
New estates are usually easy. Acreage with big gums, or a two-storey place next door, can need a pole or a mast. We work out which before we turn up.
What the install covers
- The dish fixed to the roof, a pole or a mast, wherever it sees the most sky.
- The cable run inside neatly, not draped across the eaves.
- The router set up where it reaches the rooms you use.
- A signal check before we leave, so you know it's working.
Why the sky matters
The dish talks to satellites moving across the sky, so it needs a wide, open view. Trees, a second storey next door or a hill can block part of it, and that shows up as drop-outs.
Lifting the dish a few metres on a pole often clears the problem. Try it below.
What we'll ask you, and why
- What's around the house?
- Trees and tall neighbours decide whether the roof is enough or we bring a pole. It saves a second trip.
- Single or two storey, tin or tile?
- It tells us which ladder, which fixings and how long the job takes, so the quote is right.
- Where do you want the router?
- That sets the cable length and where it comes inside. Wi-Fi works best near the middle of the house.
- New build or existing home?
- If the walls are still open, the cable can go in before the plaster. Much neater, and often quicker.
Starlink questions
Do I still need NBN if I get Starlink?
No. Starlink is its own internet service, so it works without NBN. Some people keep both. The Starlink plan is set up with Starlink directly, and we install and set up the hardware.
Will Starlink work on my block around Toowoomba?
Most new estates have plenty of open sky. Big gums, a hill or a two-storey house next door can block part of the view. Try the sky check above, then we check the real sky on the day.
Does the dish go on the roof or on a pole?
On the roof if it can see enough sky. If trees or buildings get in the way, a pole or mast lifts it clear. We tell you which before we turn up, so there's no second trip.
Can you run the Starlink cable inside?
Yes. We run the cable inside neatly and set the router up where it reaches the rooms you use. In a new build with open walls, the cable can go in before the plaster.
