Someone I work with has it in South Africa and is very impressed with it. Hopefully the service is consistent everywhere?

Good to hear. Hopefully it is the same in Bulgaria.The main reason I want to get it is my VPN does not work with the Bulgarian Internet providers.( I checked with Starlink and they told me that my VPN will work just fine). I have some remote business to do and this is of utter importance to me. Also I have noticed that outside of Sofia internet can be sketchy  at times. So this is reason number 2.

What vpn do you use? I've got surfshark and only recently signed up to a 2 year package so  hopefully that works out there.

The internet where our village house is situated is a rock-solid 100meg; faster is available but of no use/interest to us. Even pretty remote villages in BG usually offer a decent connection and a good speed....

There's a young British couple in Bulgaria with a YouTube channel 'Off Grid with the Udens'. They are in a rural village location in the Haskovo region and use starlink, they did an un-boxing video about it. They seemed quite impressed with the setup.

@porridgeandprunes

will check it out. I am always impressed by super adventurous people that move to another country, fix houses, start totally anew, do not speak English. I am not anything close to that. I like my comforts anywhere I live in the world.

I am moving to Bulgaria simply because  I love the country, the people, my wife is Bulgarian and we find life in Bulgaria to be  of better quality compared to the US. United States lost it...

@JimJ

I was in  a hotel in Bulgaria ( Sofia!) in December  and the WIFI barely allowed to use  WIFI calling. Missed some calls due to the above.I was in Lozenetz last year- internet was very poor. Very. This is my experience all over Bulgaria ( especially in hotels). You may have good connection and that is great. If i have to do business , it is imperative the internet to be super fast and reliable. I do not need any frustration; it is not worthy to me.

THANKS  THATS INTERESTIG TO KNOW ,I WONT NEED MUCH INTERNET ,THANKS AGAIN

@TonyFF

I can well believe that some hotels offer seriously cr*ppy Wi-Fi - anything to save a few stotinki. However, all our local malls, supermarkets, DIY sheds, hospitals etc offer excellent coverage and speeds.

@TonyFF Hello do you know if there is accommodation in radovets ,or will  I  have to go to a city ,I want to be local as possible to view the property ,many thanks I just need help.Thanks .

@terryburns1

Sorry Terry I have no idea where Radovets is. There are usually some bed and breakfast places  in most good size villages. Please check internet.

@mickeyhart

Sorry, I can't work out how to paste the link on my phone, and the PC is not available at the moment.

The video is called:  'We got STARLINK! | Internet and FIRE in BULGARIA #4'  it was posted September 2023.  I hope that helps you find it.

Here is the link to their channel,

I have watched them for a while, they are doing well, they have recently moved over full-time, here is a video of their star link setup

@CarlS1986 thanks mate the Udens put in a lot of hard work. Warms the cockles to see them make a go of it.

Those people are very talented. They have my respect.
