Virgin Media O2 Tests Starlink in Wales
6 min read
Virgin Media O2 demonstrates a Starlink direct-to-device satellite backup service in remote Wales for an extra £3 monthly fee. The demo shows connectivity in not-spots where terrestrial signals fail, offering speeds of about 4 Mbit/s via 650 current satellites. Future plans include a 2020s rollout to 15,000 satellites for 100 times capacity, though indoor coverage remains impossible.
