    For anyone struggling with slow or unreliable internet in rural areas like ours (I’m based in rural Limerick).

    I got Starlink has been a game changer. The speeds I’m getting right now:

    • Download: ~189 Mbps
    • Upload: ~27 Mbps
    • Ping: ~34 ms

    It's way better than what I was getting with Eir or other providers I tried. I’m using a TP-Link Deco M4 mesh system inside the house, and it spreads the connection brilliantly across all rooms.

    Starlink just launched a referral system in Ireland. If anyone’s thinking about signing up, you can get 1 month free (and for transparency, I do too) using this link:

    They must be losing Irish customers hand over fist at this point. Our monthly rates have held quite low and they're throwing out offers now like referrals.

    The NBP is kicking in hard.

    I'm back on Starlink now … My Digiweb connection dropped around 3:00pm today, with Power light on the Fritzbox flashing. All 3 lights on the ONT were on, but the data light not really flashing. Got through to support fairly quickly and did the usual troubleshooting with them (remove and re-insert the cable from the ONT, reboot the Fritzbox). Then he said it looks like a network issue, so he was passing it to them, as it was probably storm related.

    I waited until 8:00pm and nothing had changed, so I powered up Dishy and activated the Residential Lite plan for €35 (up to 200Mbps) … 2 minutes later, everything came up and my speedtest … 😁
