I got the 100 Mbps residential for £35. I was going to upgrade my fibre to 1Gb from 540Mb, but for an extra tenner I could get Starlink 100Mbps so decided to have that as well as the fibre. Installation was fairly easy. The worst part was getting on the roof and running the cable into the loft. I will probably add the mini router just to get a better Wi-Fi signal in parts of the house.

I have a few devices connected to it and non have complained about it. I did stream the usual Youtube, Amazon etc with it for a little while and it was fine. No buffering, 4K etc. I haven't monitored it that much, its always there when needed.

There is only one socket that is required for the router.

Its there as another tinternet connection for me.

Between 200-250 Mbps. It's more than enough for streaming and online gaming for a house of four.

I have the adapter that gives a network socket which I then plug in to a switch. The mesh plugs in to the switch as well. I rarely run anything on the starlink wifi so can't give you any details about that. The tv and my work computers run off a hard link but the rest of the family stream off the mesh wifi and they never complain about the performance.
