Starlink vs Fiber: The Solution for White Zones in 06 and 83

The End of the Digital Divide?

In the Alpes-Maritimes and Var, the rugged terrain makes deploying fiber optics complex and costly. Many households remain "forgotten," with end-of-life ADSL (copper network soon to be dismantled) or saturated 4G in summer.

Starlink: Performance Comparable to Fiber

With SpaceX's low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, Starlink changes the game.

Speed: We regularly observe between 150 and 300 Mbps download speeds. That's 10 to 50 times better than end-of-line ADSL!
Latency: Around 30-50 ms, allowing for video conferencing (Zoom, Teams) and online gaming without noticeable lag.

Independence from Terrestrial Networks

In case of bad weather or roadworks cutting cables in the street, your Starlink connection remains active (as long as you have electricity). It's a very robust backup (failover) or main solution.

For Who?

Isolated Villas in the Nice or Var hinterland.
Provençal Mas with thick walls (we also install Mesh WiFi networks to cover the interior).
Professionals needing a guaranteed critical connection.

Cost and ROI

The Starlink subscription has become very competitive (often around €50/month for residential). The initial investment in hardware is quickly paid off by the gain in productivity and comfort.
