In Gainesville, most Starlink jobs are on the rural land outside the city.

Gainesville has cable internet almost everywhere and fiber in a good part of the city. The properties that need Starlink are out in rural Alachua County, on the county roads where cable and fiber run out. In town, the work is security cameras, Wi-Fi and smart home instead.

Gainesville sits well inside the service area.

Gainesville is close enough for smaller jobs

Gainesville is close enough that small jobs are worth the drive, as well as big ones that cover a whole property, several buildings or a business. For a small job at the far edge of Alachua County, bring up the distance at the start of the call.

Internet out in rural Alachua County, cameras and Wi-Fi in Gainesville

Out in rural Alachua County

Rural Alachua County is a lot like Columbia County around Lake City: plenty of land, long distances and often no cable internet. Gainesville itself mostly has cable.

In town, the work is cameras and Wi-Fi

Houses here are older, lots are closer together and the neighbors are near enough that camera placement takes more thought than on acreage. The internet is rarely the problem.

Donnie answers the phone Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm.

Do I need Starlink in Gainesville?

It depends on where in Alachua County you are. In the city, probably not. Out in the rural parts of the county, often yes. Before you buy a dish, put your address into the FCC’s National Broadband Map to see which cable and fiber providers report service there.

Do you come into Gainesville itself?

Yes, mostly for security cameras, Wi-Fi and smart home work.

Is there a travel charge?

If the drive adds any cost, it’s included in your quote.

Do you cover Newberry, Archer and Alachua?

All three are in Alachua County, and all of Alachua County sits well inside the service area. Give the address on the call.

Tell us about the property. We’ll give you a quote or explain what else we need.
