This month, we’re delighted to shine the spotlight on Hertford TV Service Ltd, a trusted local business that has been serving our community for over four decades.

One of their standout services is professional Starlink installation. For those living in rural areas or parts of town where broadband can be slow or unreliable, satellite internet is proving to be a game-changer.

We asked Hertford TV Service Ltd to tell us more…

High-speed internet, wherever you are. Yes, even Great Amwell!

Starlink is an excellent broadband internet option via a satellite dish should you live in an area that suffers from slow broadband speeds and connectivity without the option of getting a Fibre internet connection direct to the home from the likes of Gigaclear, Sky & BT Openreach.

Starlink brings fast and consistent internet connection to even the most remote places. You may be in town but in a place where your phone service and broadband is in a rough patch, or you could be in a more rural area like Great Amwell, St Margarets, Stanstead Abbots & Wareside.

Where internet connection is practically non-existent. You could even be living on a boat and on the move. Either way, Starlink can not only help, but bring you some of the fastest internet speeds available.

Starlink is brought to you & engineered by SpaceX, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to users all over the world. As the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using a Low Earth Orbit, Starlink delivers broadband internet capable of supporting HD Streaming, Online Gaming, Video Calls and more.  As the world’s leading provider of launch services, SpaceX is leveraging its deep experience with both spacecraft and on-orbit operations to deploy the world’s most advanced broadband internet system.

Starlink satellites are over 60 times closer to Earth than traditional satellites, resulting in much better lower latency and the ability to support services typically not possible with other traditional older satellite internet services like Tooway & SES.

Users can expect to see data download speeds typically from 50Mb/s to 220Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms in most locations across the UK, Upload Speeds are Typically between 5 & 20 Mb/s. Latency is the time it takes to send data from one point to the next. When satellites are far from Earth, latency is high, resulting in poor performance for activities like Video Calls, Facetime, Zoom, HD Streaming/Catchup and Online Gaming.

Hertford TV Service has been installing and setting up Starlink Broadband Systems on a range of local properties since 2021. We work to ensure that you have the best set up, taking advantage of the positions of the satellites above, to give you the best internet connection, while ensuring the integrity of your property with discreet bespoke installations and hidden cables where possible. The Starlink dish installation  position will require a clear North West view of the sky, with no big over hanging trees or tall buildings nearby in that direction.

Free site surveys are available on request. Starlink Equipment & The Monthly Data Subscriptions has to bought directly from Starlink themselves via their website (www.starlink.com), but we will handle the full Installation and all connectivity thereafter.

Weighing in excess of 5kg, Starlink dishes need to be installed correctly, with the right equipment and bracketry to support the dish in even the most extreme weather conditions. Hertford TV has the experience and access to the correct equipment for you to get the best possible Starlink signal today and in the future. 

We can also help with improving WiFi coverage over your property by adding WiFi access points to improve signals to blackspots that the main broadband router does not reach, this is very common with larger older style properties that have thick stone solid walls. Or we can even hard wire your internet devices with Cat5e/Cat6 Network Ethernet Cables to get the best possible and most reliable fixed direct connections.
