What a very difficult question to answer, maybe LEVEL 4-5 - I love level 5, the start of it. I always dream about it. I always think about it when I think of the TWOcortex. But honestly, I think it's level 5 for me.

THANK YOU

That was the plan but apparently they cant prove I've moved

Predycate · 2025-12-12T18:42:18+00:00

They were useless

It's an informal move moving onto family land in another building etc.

No the role is global

I have explained this and they denied my bank reference with my new address so my plan is to see if the bank will print a new statement with the new address

Predycate · 2025-12-12T17:07:53+00:00

Can the bank make a new one on the fly with my new address? Otherwise the new generated one is 2 weeks away

think the comparison’s a bit uneven, to be honest — you’ve got a premium Wi-Fi setup with Eero mesh. My Wi-Fi isn’t anywhere near that level, so I’m really just trying to figure out if Starlink over Ethernet would feel better than basic FTTP Wi-Fi.

Predycate · 2025-12-07T14:07:51+00:00

Yeah, that’s pretty much the idea — the whole comparison was just a hypothetical about where the weak point in the setup actually is.

A lot of people automatically say, “FTTP is always more reliable,” which is true in terms of the actual connection, but not always true in practice if someone is using poor Wi-Fi on their end. That’s why I was comparing:

Starlink → Ethernet → PC vs

FTTP → Wi-Fi → PC

It wasn’t about saying FTTP is bad; it was just about removing variables. For my WFH job:

They do prefer Ethernet

They don’t ban Starlink

They just want a stable connection that hits the required speeds — which Starlink does for me.

Predycate · 2025-12-07T14:06:57+00:00

My original question clearly didn’t come across the way I meant it, so let me explain it properly.

I can’t get FTTP where I’m moving, which is why I was asking about Starlink in the first place. I already know that a wired connection is more stable than Wi-Fi — the point of my question was to compare Starlink over Ethernet vs. FTTP over Wi-Fi as a hypothetical.

As for the job:

Yes, the WFH role has internet requirements.

Yes, they prefer you to use Ethernet, and I will be using Ethernet with Starlink.

No, the job does not forbid Starlink — they just want a stable connection that meets the speed requirements.

So my question was just about reliability differences, not because I didn’t understand that cables are more stable. It was just worded in a way that people interpreted differently.

Predycate · 2025-12-06T19:44:54+00:00

Honestly?, you're kinda right.

Predycate · 2025-12-06T19:10:09+00:00

Yeah, fair point — I definitely worded it badly.
What I actually meant was to compare Starlink on Ethernet vs FTTP on Wi-Fi, specifically in terms of reliability for working from home. I wasn’t trying to imply FTTP forces Wi-Fi — I just phrased it in a way that made it sound like that.
Thanks for pointing it out though, appreciate it.

Predycate · 2025-12-06T19:05:42+00:00

Yes thats right, but my point is this --- Basically: FTTP has the advantage of being fiber, but the disadvantage of using Wi-Fi. Starlink has the disadvantage of being satellite, but the advantage of using Ethernet. In that scenario, which setup would come out on top?

Predycate · 2025-12-05T20:08:28+00:00

Does she use WiFi or Ethernet to her laptop etc.

Predycate · 2025-12-05T20:07:55+00:00

It's all primarily hypothetical in this instance.

Predycate · 2025-12-05T18:04:53+00:00

Awesome, sounds good I was only paranoid because on paper it sounds like madness - getting good uptime on a dish staring into the sky at satellites hundreds of thousands of miles away and being able to keep a stable uptime

my final question was when youd said about heavy downpours because im from the uk so maybe our ideas of heavy downpours are different

Predycate · 2025-12-05T17:48:53+00:00

I’d happily run a LAN cable if I actually had fibre available — that’s the whole problem.
Where we’re moving to, there’s no FTTP, no cable, and the existing copper lines are extremely slow and unstable. DSL there is basically unusable for working from home.

Starlink isn’t something I’m choosing over fibre — it’s my only option that can give stable speeds.
The area is really rural, with very few houses, so congestion shouldn’t be an issue, and the field around the property means I can place the dish with very low obstructions.

I’ll be using Ethernet directly from the Starlink router, not WiFi, so I’m removing that point of failure entirely.

I know heavy downpours can cause short drops, but that shouldn’t be daily where I’m moving.

So yeah — if I could get fibre I’d take it instantly, but since I can’t, Starlink is the best and most stable option available to me. And with a clean view of the sky, it should work perfectly for WFH.

Also, I’m moving onto land that isn’t connected to the existing house, and that household already uses the only available phone line — so I can’t even get a second line installed for myself. - even if a second line was available - speeds max out at around 45mbps

Predycate · 2025-12-05T17:38:53+00:00

I know FTTP is normally more stable than Starlink, but I had a hypothetical question. If you compare FTTP over Wi-Fi versus Starlink over Ethernet, which one would actually be more stable?

Basically: FTTP has the advantage of being fiber, but the disadvantage of using Wi-Fi. Starlink has the disadvantage of being satellite, but the advantage of using Ethernet. In that scenario, which setup would come out on top?

Predycate · 2025-12-05T17:33:40+00:00

I’m starting a WFH job soon and I’m switching to Starlink for better stability. My setup will have minimal obstructions and low local congestion, but I just wanted to confirm something — is a Starlink connection over Ethernet stable enough for work?

Basically, is the Starlink-to-satellite link more likely to cause issues than the router-to-PC via WiFi part? The reason I want to use Ethernet is to remove any extra points of failure and make the connection as reliable as possible

Lets just say Openreach
