I told you in my last blog about the very slow internet connection in our house. With a speed of around 5 MB we had enough for streaming, e-mailing and surfing on the web. But during the summer, with a whole lot of tourists in the neighbourhood, the speed was a lot slower. On average during the weekend, probably with a lot of (family) visitors in the neighbourhood, the speed usually also is a lot slower, which often means no streaming at all…. And with winter and Christmas a few months away and still no news about fibre optics we´ve decided we´ve had enough. We first went to the telephone store to see if we could upgrade our 4G subscription (with no permanency) to give us more speed. Yes, that was possible, no problem. But…the speed turned out to be even slower then before.
Since I always read the blog “ToGalicia” I took the plunge and wrote Rob van den Wijngaart an email to inquire about his new Starlink connection. Just wanted to find out if it would be an option for us... and we were easily convinced. It was a piece of cake to install the dish and Starlink connected immediately.
This is our avarage speed now. We are very exited with the result. What a difference, we still can´t believe it! I have cancelled our 4G provider, and we hope we never have to see this hour-glass again...
