WOW -that is exactly our situation, but Open reach cut off the copper line 18 months ago and offered Full fibre having installed the cables etc. We chose not to go with them and have ended up with Starlink - very pleased we did to be honest.

In addition to my comments above, here is an image of the tree concerned and its proximity to the dish, situated on the chimney.- hope it helps.

Here is an image of a screen shot that I have just ran, using the app -

@Temp I believe trees aren't an issue provided you are not in a woodland environment. The dish itself can be rotated and the installation can be assisted by the use of the App. It actually shows you where to swivel the dish accordingly, to get the correct alignement. We have a large Oak tree 10 metres from the house and the location of the dish. Although a section of this appears to fall within the "obstructions" picked up by the App there is no real impact on performance. I think the main thing to avoid is solid structures.

That's good to hear - sadly I didn't have the faith at the time, so opted for an alternative which although works very well, isn't as aesthetically pleasing on the eye😁

Here you go - Starlink Gen 3 Mount, Ybervont Starlink Mounting Kit Gen 3, Heavy Duty Starlink Long Wall Mount for Starlink Internet Kit Satellite, Starlink Pole Mount with Starlink Gen 3 Pipe Adapter. Copy and paste the above into Google and it will show up in AMAZON for just under £70. 👍

@Iceverge not sure if this is a question to me specifically, but all I can say is - I was paying £18 per month for our internet via a mobile network - Although it worked, we found it to be sluggiish and very tempermental at best. These frustrations led me to research Starlink. I now pay £35 p m with Starlink and the performance is so much better.

Just an update to this thread since I asked about others experiences etc. I have now installed a Starlink system myself - I purchsaed the Standard Kit / Set up for £75 - it arrived within 10 days from the USA. Due to the high winds we experience here, I just felt the wall mounted brackets they provide, didn't seem strong enough - to few points of contact for my liking. So I purchased a more robust one for £65 and fitted it to the chimney. All set up and working and a much improved experience from the system which I had before - which was a SIM card relying on a mobile network coverage. Using their App, the system is performing very well with 100 mbs being recorded - whatever that means😁

I don't think the line of sight will be an issue alongside the gable wall of the house. The reason I'm considering it is because we are currently using this type of router with a SIM from Smarty for £18 pm - Unfortunately the signal has been dropping more often than not - hence the search for a more stable connection.

Guys, I am on the verge of investing in a Starlink system but attaching the thing to the house is something I would like to aviod if at all possible. Are your systems still at ground level and if so, do you suffer any issues as as a result. The "ground" set up would be ideal for me providing there is little or no impact on perfromance. I'd welcome your thoughts.

Something like the above would do the trick but if you have a free standing structure like we have - you may wish to consider housing in there. Ours is in the corner of an open fronted Oak Framed structure. see image.

wow - what a project this appears to be - Welcome to the forum. Advice and support always available, just ask / share and away you go. Good luck.

Hi @chilliMin welcome to the forum. The project sounds exciting and interesting. We will no doubt look forward to you sharing your experiences as well as offering support and guidance, mixed with some honesty on ocassions.

Ask yourself what has given you the confidence to get to this stage of the project? If you have just "jumped in" and are going to take the "lets hope it works out" approach, then yes, you are justified in feeling the way you are. In which case, have a serious chat with yourself and perhaps re-consider before you get into real trouble and get to a stage whereby you can't keep your head above water, so to speak. However, if you have done the background work and believed what you are planning, can be done, then take that confindence forward and use that "approach" to overcome all the hurdles which will come your way before you reach the finish line. In addidtion to that "research" and the re-assurances that brings, utilise this forum to assist you further. If you haven't "costed" out the project in a sensible manner, then perhaps the time has come to do so and if it results in a re-avaluation, then so be it. You won't be the first person to come to that decision. Either way good luck but be aware of self-fulfilling prophecies.

Like this I guess.
