Is Starlink reliable enough for business?
For most rural and remote businesses, yes. We see uptime above 99 percent at properly installed sites. Sites with trees, heavy weather, or unstable mounting are more variable.
How much does Starlink Business cost in Canada?
Hardware is roughly 3,000 to 4,000 Canadian dollars. Service plans range from around 175 dollars per month for Starlink Roam Business up to 800 plus dollars per month for high priority data tiers.
Can Starlink replace fibre or cable internet?
For many remote BC, Alberta, and Yukon sites, yes. For city offices with reliable fibre, fibre still wins on latency and price. Many sites use Starlink as a primary or failover link.
Does Northstar IT install and manage Starlink?
