Starlink Business is SpaceX's commercial satellite internet service — delivering 100–300Mbps download speeds via a small dish on your roof. No exchange, no cable trenches, no waiting for infrastructure. It works anywhere you can see the sky.
Works via satellite dish — available anywhere in the UK, rural or urban.
Enough bandwidth for 20+ simultaneous VoIP calls and cloud applications.
Use as your main connection or as automatic backup to your fibre line.
We supply, install and configure the Starlink dish and router.
Essential for VoIP, remote desktop and business applications.
Starlink's latency (25–50ms) is low enough for high-quality business calls.
Everything you need to know
Starlink Business delivers typical speeds of 100–300Mbps download and 20–40Mbps upload, with latency of 25–50ms — perfectly adequate for VoIP, video calls and cloud software.
Yes. Telexico's VoIP systems work reliably over Starlink. We configure QoS on the router to prioritise voice traffic.
Absolutely — and this is one of its best use cases. Our failover routers automatically switch to Starlink if your primary fibre line drops, keeping your phones and internet live.
Starlink is rated for heavy rain, snow and wind. Brief interruptions can occur in extreme storms but typical uptime is over 99%.
Once the Starlink hardware arrives (typically 3–7 days), installation takes half a day. No civil works needed.
Everything your business needs — one provider, one invoice
Starlink Business is SpaceX's commercial-grade satellite broadband service, delivering 100–350Mbps internet access via a network of low-earth orbit satellites. Unlike traditional geostationary satellite internet (which suffers from 600ms+ latency), Starlink's LEO network achieves 20–60ms latency — fast enough for VoIP calls, video conferencing and cloud-based business software. The service requires a motorised dish (Starlink calls it a "Dishy") mounted with clear sky view, a router, and a power source. That's it — no phone line, no civil works, no waiting months for Openreach.
Starlink Business is ideal for UK businesses that cannot access fast fixed-line broadband. This includes: rural businesses in Staffordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire where fibre rollout is still years away; businesses on industrial estates where Openreach duct capacity is exhausted; temporary sites, construction offices and agricultural businesses where a permanent fixed line isn't viable; and businesses that need a primary broadband connection immediately while a leased line or full fibre installation is in progress.
Standard Starlink (Residential) is cheaper but has limited priority access during congested periods. Starlink Business provides priority network access, meaning your speeds are maintained even when the network is busy — critical for business-critical applications. Compared to fixed-line broadband, Starlink Business delivers comparable speeds but with higher latency than full fibre and no SLA. It's best used as a primary connection where fibre isn't available, or as failover broadband behind a fixed-line primary connection.
Despite the West Midlands' urban character, many commercial premises face genuine connectivity challenges. Industrial units on older estates often find Openreach duct capacity exhausted. Businesses in the green belt between Wolverhampton, Cannock and Lichfield may face long waits for full fibre. Agricultural businesses across Staffordshire and Shropshire have historically been underserved. Telexico provides Starlink Business installation and configuration across all of these scenarios — and can have a business connected and operational the same day equipment arrives.
Telexico handles the entire Starlink Business process: equipment procurement, site survey (confirming sky view clearance), professional dish installation and mounting, router configuration and network integration. We configure Starlink within your existing network setup — whether that's a standalone primary connection or failover behind a fixed line. Our engineers position the dish optimally to minimise obstruction and maximise signal quality, and provide a full handover including remote access configuration for monitoring.
One of the most popular uses for Starlink Business is as an automatic failover for existing broadband. If your primary leased line or full fibre connection fails, a secondary router configured with Starlink takes over automatically — often within seconds. For Wolverhampton and West Midlands businesses where broadband downtime has a direct operational cost, Starlink failover provides a second independent path to the internet that doesn't depend on the same physical infrastructure as your primary connection.
Honest answers from the Telexico team
Starlink Business hardware (the dish and router) costs approximately £460 including VAT. The monthly service fee is approximately £140 per month for Business priority access. Total first-year cost is approximately £2,140. Telexico charges additionally for professional installation. Compare this against the cost of a leased line installation (£2,000–£5,000 civils) or months of lost productivity on an unreliable connection.
Starlink Business delivers 100–350Mbps download and 20–40Mbps upload in the UK under typical conditions. Speeds vary by time of day and local satellite capacity. Latency is typically 20–60ms — sufficient for VoIP, video conferencing and real-time cloud applications. Telexico monitors Starlink performance at customer sites and can advise if a fixed-line alternative has become available.
Yes — Starlink Business's latency (20–60ms) is within the acceptable range for VoIP call quality. Telexico configures QoS settings on the network to prioritise VoIP traffic, ensuring call quality remains consistent even during periods of heavier data use on the same connection.
Starlink is affected by heavy rain, snow and ice on the dish. The Starlink Business dish includes a heating element that prevents snow and ice build-up automatically. Heavy rainfall can cause temporary signal degradation. For business-critical applications, Telexico recommends pairing Starlink with a 4G failover router to provide a terrestrial backup during severe weather events.
Yes — Telexico provides Starlink Business installation across Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Walsall, Dudley, Telford, Cannock and the wider West Midlands and Staffordshire region. Our engineers conduct a site visit to confirm sky view clearance, mount the dish professionally and configure it within your network. Installation typically takes 2–4 hours.
