Starlink vs leased line which is right?
Satellite versus dedicated fibre. Telexico supplies both — here’s an honest comparison of when each makes sense.
Satellite vs dedicated fibre.
Starlink
Fast to deploy anywhere; ideal where fibre can’t reach or as failover.
Leased line
Dedicated, uncontended, SLA-backed — the gold standard for always-on sites.
We supply both
Right tool for the site.
How we decide.
Location
No fibre? Starlink. Critical city HQ? Leased line.
SLA needs
Leased lines guarantee speed and fix times; Starlink doesn’t.
Resilience
Starlink also makes excellent failover for a leased line.
Frequently asked questions
Is Starlink as good as a leased line?
For guaranteed performance, no — but for hard-to-reach sites or failover it’s excellent. We’ll advise honestly.
Can I use both?
Yes — a leased line with Starlink failover is a strong, resilient setup.
Which is cheaper?
Starlink has low install cost; leased lines cost more but guarantee performance.
