Running a business from home is hard enough – but when your internet speed tops out at 8Mbps, it becomes almost impossible. That was the reality for one of our customers, a small business owner working from his home at the end of an unadopted lane, where traditional broadband providers wouldn’t commit to infrastructure upgrades.
He was told by BT to wait. And he did – for two years. After all that time, they came back with a final answer: “We’re not digging up the road.”
He contacted Sure Business Systems. After a quick site visit, we recommended and installed a Starlink system, mounting the dish securely to the roof.
Within hours, his download speed jumped from 8Mbps to over 200Mbps. No waiting. No digging. No disruption. Just fast, reliable internet—finally.
He was able to get back to running his business efficiently, hosting video calls, uploading files, and using cloud-based systems without constant buffering or dropped connections. And the best part? He’s now paying next to nothing compared to the years of delays and frustration from larger providers.
“I wish I’d called you two years ago.”
A student accommodation block in Liverpool city centre had no access to fibre and poor 5G coverage, leaving students struggling with unreliable, slow internet. Sure Business Systems installed a Starlink satellite system alongside Unifi enterprise-grade Wi-Fi to get the building fully connected.
The result was fast, stable internet throughout the property—perfect for studying, streaming and staying in touch. Students saw a huge improvement straight away, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Another great example of Starlink helping solve real-world connectivity issues quickly.
