Starlink & rural internet

Rural internet at Highland Branch

Lots here are rural, and wired broadband may not reach your address. Check every option for your exact address before you build — availability is address-specific.

• Satellite (Starlink): low-earth-orbit satellite internet. Service and pricing depend on your address and plan; check availability on Starlink’s site.
• Fixed wireless & cellular home internet: check the major carriers and local providers by address.
• Wired: ask local providers whether fiber or cable is planned for your road.
• The FCC National Broadband Map lists providers that report service at your address.

Planning tips for a Starlink install

• The dish needs a clear view of the sky. Trees and structures can cause outages — Starlink’s app includes an obstruction checker you can use on site.
• Decide early where the dish and cable will go (roof, pole, or ground mount) so your builder can plan conduit or a cable entry point.
• Plan power and a spot for the router; many owners add a wired Ethernet run to the main network closet.
• Mounting may need HOA/ACC approval — check with the HOA before installing anything visible.
