If you’re running a business in one of the more rural parts of Hampshire, such as the New Forest, you’ll know that whilst improvements have been made, there are still areas where connectivity has a long way to go. While full fibre coverage has improved, patchy speeds and limited availability are still a daily frustration for some. 

Get better connected 

We’ve mentioned Starlink before, but if you haven’t heard of it, it’s Elon Musk’s satellite broadband system that promises high-speed internet, even in the middle of nowhere. It’s incredibly accessible and practical.  

What you’ll get when Net Primates install Starlink 

You’ll receive high performance, better reliability, and priority support. That makes it a genuine option for SMEs which use cloud-based systems, want to make Teams calls, maximise VoIP opportunities, and cater for remote workers. 

Coverage and reliability in our area 

Signal strength is impressive in hard-to-reach parts of the New Forest and scattered pockets around other parts of Hampshire where fibre still isn’t available. 

Starlink Mini 

Ideal for home offices and mobile teams. It’s smaller, easier to install quickly, and perfect for businesses that don’t need full-scale coverage but want to stay connected. 

Portable and flexible setups 

If you operate mobile services (like pop-up hospitality, equestrian events, or building sites), Starlink’s roaming kits are proving to be incredibly useful. A clear view of the sky and a power source is often all you need. 

What businesses are using it for 

We’ve supported clients in rural areas using Starlink to: 

  • Run cloud-based systems like Microsoft 365 and Xero 
  • Host VoIP phone services without lag or dropout 
  • Keep Teams, Zoom and remote access stable during working hours 
  • Provide internet at temporary or seasonal business locations 

Should you consider Starlink? 

If your broadband feels like dial-up on a bad day, it might be time to visit the Starlink conversation. 

We can help you decide whether it’s a good fit for your setup, not just in theory, but based on local performance, installation needs, and your specific goals. 

We’ve already deployed Starlink for clients in places where other ISPs failed to deliver and the results have been transformative. 

Final thought 

You don’t need to wait for fibre to arrive or suffer through sub-par connections. For many rural businesses in Hampshire, it’s now the most practical way to get the speeds you need.

Fast internet isn’t just for cities anymore.
