The update

Planning the installation around the property

The Murphy home is surrounded by mature trees, with the dish positioned above the roof edge. The wide view shows the setting and mounting location; the close-up shows the bracket and the cable secured along the wood trim.

At a wooded property, the dish location and cable route need to be considered together. We plan around the available sky view, the building, access to the mounting point, and where the connection needs to enter the home. The right installation approach depends on the property.

Bringing the cable inside

Inside the Murphy home, the Starlink cable passes through a white brush wall plate. This gives the cable entry a finished edge and a defined route into the room. The indoor connection is part of the installation plan alongside the equipment outdoors.

Alignment confirmed and connection tested

The supplied Starlink app screenshot confirms that the dish was aligned and pointed in the correct direction when checked. The recorded speed test showed 343 Mbps download, 43 Mbps upload, and 23 ms latency.

These are actual results captured at this Murphy installation, rather than an advertised speed promise. Speeds and latency vary with location, service plan, network demand, equipment, and conditions. The alignment check confirms pointing direction; it is not an obstruction report.
