At unWired, we talk to customers everyday who are overwhelmed by all of the Internet options out there. When making a decision about your Internet provider, it’s essential to consider factors like reliability, speed, cost, and support. But don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve put together a helpful overview of how our service stacks up to Starlink.<\/p>\n
At the time of publication, Starlink offers speeds up to 150 Mbps with no guarantee of the speed you will actually receive.<\/p>\n
unWired can deliver speeds up to 400 Mbps within our NextGen coverage area. We also offer guaranteed speeds, meaning we can guarantee you will receive a minimum of 75% of your plan speed at all times.<\/p>\n
Starlink does not provide any live support. If you have an issue with your service, your only option is to read online support articles or submit a ticket and wait for someone to email you.<\/p>\n
unWired, however, is a local company, with teams based in Central and Northern California. We provide both in-person support and 24\/7 phone support, so we\u2019re only a phone call away!<\/p>\n
Starlink relies on space-based satellites that are more than 300 miles away. This technology can be affected by factors like heavy rain, extreme heat and fog, which can lead to service disruptions.<\/p>\n
unWired utilizes a robust ground-based network, with local towers based no more than 10 miles away from your location. This technology provides a more stable and consistent connection, especially during inclement weather.<\/p>\n
Due to the distance data must travel, Starlink typically has higher latency compared to ground-based networks, which can impact online gaming and video conferencing experiences.<\/p>\n
Thanks to our local towers, unWired offers lower latency, making it ideal for online gaming, video conferencing, and streaming.<\/p>\n
Starlink does not offer any professional installation. Your only options are to climb onto your roof yourself or hire a third-party installer, for an even higher added cost. You are also required to pay for your satellite upfront, which can range anywhere from $350 to $599.<\/p>\n
At unWired, your radio is included in your monthly cost and every unWired connection is installed by our award-winning installation technicians. When your Internet is installed, our technicians won’t leave until you understand how to use your connection.<\/p>\n
While Starlink has gained popularity, when it comes to reliable, high-speed Internet, the choice is clear. unWired offers a superior Internet experience for Central and Northern CA residents, providing a reliable, high-speed connection with excellent customer service.<\/p>\n
