Bringing Starlink to Life in St Andrews: A Deep Dive into Next-Gen Internet for Regional Homes
How Starlink Is Changing Connectivity in Regional Victoria
What Is Starlink and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
The internet gap is finally closing for regional homes — and Starlink is leading the charge.
For families, farms, and businesses in areas like St Andrews, access to fast, reliable internet used to be a distant dream. But thanks to Starlink, a satellite-based internet service from SpaceX, that dream is quickly becoming reality.
What Is Starlink and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
Starlink uses a constellation of low-orbit satellites to deliver high-speed internet to areas where traditional NBN and fibre networks struggle to reach. Unlike older satellite services, Starlink provides lightning-fast speeds and low latency — perfect for streaming, Zoom calls, and even gaming.
It’s especially popular in regional and semi-rural locations where options have been limited or unreliable. For homeowners, it’s a chance to stay connected without compromise.
Our Latest Starlink Installation in St Andrews
Our team recently completed a Starlink installation in St Andrews, bringing high-speed connectivity to a beautiful property surrounded by bushland.
We:
Mounted the Starlink dish securely on the roof and ran 45 metres of shielded cable through a dedicated conduit and under the floor to the main entertainment hub.
Installed and configured two new Wi-Fi access points (one in the home extension and one by the pool pump room) for complete coverage inside and out.
Set up a TV on an articulating wall bracket, relocated the TV antenna, and fitted Paradigm outdoor speakers around the pool for high-quality sound.
The result?
A home that’s now fully connected — from the lounge room to the poolside — all powered by Starlink’s cutting-edge satellite network.
Why Starlink Is a Game Changer for Rural Homes
Living in a regional area shouldn’t mean sacrificing speed or reliability. With Starlink, users are seeing:
Download speeds of 100–250 Mbps (depending on area and plan)
Low latency for real-time streaming and video calls

No dependence on ground-based fibre infrastructure
For remote workers, online learners, and families streaming from multiple devices, Starlink makes regional living more connected than ever.
