FAQ
Common questions about rural internet.
Can't see your question below? Drop us a line — we answer real questions, not just FAQ pages.
- Can Starlink work on my farm?
- In almost all cases, yes — Starlink needs only a clear view of the sky in roughly a 100° cone. During the site survey we identify the best mounting position on a roof, gable end or dedicated pole, away from trees and obstructions.
- Can you connect my barn to my house network?
- Yes. We use weatherproof point-to-point wireless bridges to link buildings together, sharing the same internet connection and network. Distances from 20m up to several kilometres are routinely achievable with clear line of sight.
- How far can wireless links reach?
- With clear line of sight, modern wireless bridges comfortably cover 5–10km, and longer links are possible with the right equipment. We size the kit precisely to your distance and conditions.
- Do I need planning permission?
- For most domestic installations, planning permission is not required. We flag anything that might need consideration during the site survey — including listed buildings, conservation areas and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
- Can you improve my existing WiFi?
- Yes — this is one of our most common jobs. We audit your existing setup, identify weak spots and replace or supplement it with professional access points and switches so coverage is fast and reliable everywhere.
- Can you install CCTV networking?
- Yes. We don't sell or fit cameras themselves, but we provide the network — structured cabling, PoE switches, wireless backhauls and reliable internet — that CCTV systems depend on. We work alongside your installer or fit in with an existing system.
- How long does installation take?
- Most rural WiFi and Starlink installations are completed in one day. Larger estate-wide projects with multiple wireless bridges and CCTV integration typically take two to three days.
- What happens if something goes wrong later?
- Every installation is documented and handed over with a clear network diagram. We're a phone call away and can usually diagnose and resolve issues remotely. Optional ongoing monitoring is available for business customers.
- Will Starlink be reliable in bad weather?
- Modern Starlink hardware copes well with rain, snow and wind. Heavy snowfall on the dish is the most common cause of brief outages — the dish self-heats but in deep snow may need a brush.
- Do you work outside your four counties?
- Our day-to-day patch is Oxfordshire, Northants, Bucks and Warwickshire. We occasionally take on larger projects further afield — get in touch and we'll be straight with you about whether we're the right fit.
