In rural areas, the quest for high-speed internet has become increasingly vital, yet often fraught with challenges due to limited infrastructure. As pioneers in enhancing connectivity in North Wales, Phantom Communications offers a compelling alternative with our Fixed Access 4G Broadband. In this article, we'll compare this innovative solution with Elon Musks innovative Starlink to help you determine the best fit for your connectivity needs.
Price
Starlink may appeal to those seeking rapid internet speeds, but it comes at a premium cost. With a kit priced at £460 and a monthly fee of £75, it presents a significant investment and expensive monthly fees for users prioritizing speed over cost.
In contrast, Phantom Communication Ltd's Fixed Access LTE broadband provides an affordable alternative. In most cases installation costs are covered using the Access Broadband Cymru grant scheme, and if you opt in one of our 4G unlimited data sims, the monthly costs start at £42 a month. This offers competitive pricing without compromising on performance.
Installation
Starlink boasts flexibility, with the ability to be installed anywhere with a clear view of the sky. This makes it ideal for remote areas where traditional options falter and 4G does not cover. However, the self-installation process might be daunting for some users lacking technical expertise.
Phantom Communication Ltd's Fixed Access LTE broadband offers a plug-and-play solution, with installation carried out by experienced technicians. This user-friendly approach ensures seamless setup, catering to those who prefer professional assistance. We also offer a service and maintenance package included into your monthly cost, to give you piece of mind that if anything goes wrong we have you covered.
Speed
Starlink promises speeds of up to 150Mbps, surpassing many rural broadband alternatives. However, performance may vary based on factors like location and network congestion.
Phantom Communication Ltd's Fixed Access LTE broadband delivers impressive download speeds of up to 300Mbps and upload speeds of up to 45Mbps depending on connecting to a 4G or 5G network. Notably, 4G is less affected by weather conditions, providing a more consistent performance regardless of external factors.

In conclusion, both Starlink and Phantom Communication Fixed Access LTE broadband offer unique advantages tailored to different user preferences.
Starlink appeals to users prioritizing speed and flexibility, albeit at a higher cost and with a self-installation process.
