have to blame o2 for that one though Back to Starlink, have fitted modified one to the roof of my motorhome, its working as intended, off to Spain tomorrow so will see how it performs on a tour. Certainly saves messing around with SIM cards.
I have had Starlink at a property in France for the last 12 months and it has been rock solid with no outages or resets to the router needed, which is handy as I am not always there. Speed is good at around 200~250 MBs downlink and 25Mbs uplink and cost is €45 per month. The router is rubbish so I put it in bypass mode and use the LAN adaptor to go out to a WiFi Mesh with a wired backhaul which distributes all over the property. I have not had any restrictions or throttling on data usage and have been syncing a NAS in the UK to one in France and have consumed over 1TB of data in a couple of week period with no issues.
The option I was using before was a 4G router but the coverage was pretty poor and we were lucky to get 10Mbs and the cost for the Orange SIM was about the same as the Starling subscription.

Great to find these posts.
We have a very rural, Angus Scotland located property with very limited 4G and copper BT with intermittent connectivity.
Looking at Starlink for this property - is there an option to have one contract in use at two properties geographically 600 miles apart?
Are there any other satellite systems that may work in mid scotland ?

If you only do a temporary install at home, yo keep the kit mobile, then you can use it wherever you like. If you want two sets of kit then I'm afraid that is two subscriptions.
Over a year down the road I'm still happy with Starlink, although I've had the dish mounted permanently and high up.
So long as you don’t mind a lift and shift of the kit, you can take it with you and it’s not tied to an address.
It’s remarkably underwhelming when you first set it up; download app, put antenna outside with a clear view of sky, run the cable inside to the router, plug in router to mains power, power up the follow about 5mi s worth of set up on app. As you do this, the antenna orientates itself for best signal and then your set. Hook up laptops/ phones etc as per normal and you’re online.
If you move house, take it with you and repeat the above and your online again. It’s almost disappointingly easy.
Shock news, Starlink have just announced a price increase to £96 per month from £85. Effective as of 10th October 2025.
In return you now receive In Motion, Coastal & International access.
So it looks as though if I’m going to benefit from the additional services I need to buy myself a boat, take it into international waters and while I’m sailing singlehanded into those International waters I need to set my Starlink up on the deck to use the In Motion function and at the same time hope it doesn’t slide into the sea.
Fuk!
