@wixens, according to the aforementioned portal, resides in a mountainous area of the interior between the provinces of Barcelona and Tarragona.In that place, the only way to have an Internet connection is through a 4G mobile network with a maximum speed of 10 Mbps.Little enough bandwidth to, for example, see streaming content normally.That is why he decided to register in advance in the Starlink program, which has a reserve price of 99 euros.When the company announced the availability in Spain, it confirmed its subscription and acquired the pack that includes the antenna and the router.This, remember, costs 499 euros.

After receiving the equipment, the client installed the necessary antenna to receive the Internet signal on the roof of his house.He used, yes, a custom -made mast to give the dish a correct connection to satellites.Then, through the Starlink application, he carried out a speed test that concluded with expected results.
