You’d think internet installation is just plug and play, right? Wrong. Working with Aerial & Sky Services as a Starlink installer is basically the James Bond of broadband jobs, climbing rooftops, dodging angry pigeons, and bringing lightning-fast internet to the most off-grid corners of the UK.
Take last week, for example. We were out in the wilds of North Wales, where even mobile signal dares not venture. The client’s old internet was running on two rusted telephone lines and a praye, offering speeds so slow it made dial-up look futuristic.
Armed with our trusty Starlink Gen 3 dish, a solid 18-inch galvanised bracket, and about three cups of coffee each, we got to work. The wind was howling in between blue skies (as it always does in Wales), and the roof was steeper than my energy bill but we soldiered on.
After some impressive rooftop yoga and a moment where I thought I might fly off into the valleys, the install was in place. We powered it up… and boom amazing speeds immediately. Everyone cheered like we’d just delivered them Netflix for the first time (which, technically, we had).
The job satisfaction? 10/10. The view from that rooftop? Even better. And let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like watching someone go from buffering hell to ultra-speed bliss in seconds.
Every day is different in this job. One minute we’re in a luxury home in Saddleworth, the next we’re attaching brackets to a stone barn with sheep watching suspiciously. But one thing stays the same, we bring the future of internet to places that never thought they’d get connected.
So if you see a van with Aerial & Sky on the side, a ladder on the roof, and someone humming the Top Gun theme while bolting down a Starlink dish, it’s probably us, chasing blue skies and blazing speeds.
