The East Cantons — the German-speaking Community of Belgium — are distinctly rural and wooded. Between Eupen, Kelmis and Raeren in the north and Sankt Vith, Büllingen, Bütgenbach, Amel and Burg-Reuland in the Eifel lie vast forests, high plateaus and scattered villages. Around the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes) and in the valleys of the Eifel you notice it quickly: 4G stutters, a fixed internet line often isn't there, and yet you need to be online. With a rented Starlink kit you bring stable internet to exactly those spots where the traditional providers fall short.
You decide how long you need it: a weekend in a holiday home near Bütgenbach, a project week on a remote site, or a full month of remote work in an Eifel village. All you need is a clear view of the sky and you're connected within minutes — with unlimited data and no long-term contract. Our pickup point in Wetteren is a fair distance from here (± 190 km), which is why home delivery and our installation service are often the most convenient choice in this region.
Why internet in the East Cantons sometimes falls short
The East Cantons are sparsely populated and predominantly rural. Around the High Fens and in the Eifel, villages lie far apart, cell towers are scarce, and dense forests and high ground dampen the 4G signal. Fixed fibre or cable doesn't reach every remote address either, out in the hamlets around Amel, Burg-Reuland or Büllingen. For anyone living, staying temporarily or running an event here, that's a real obstacle. Starlink bypasses ground infrastructure entirely: the connection comes straight from the sky, no matter how thin the local mobile network is.
Delivery and installation instead of a long drive
The East Cantons sit roughly 190 km from our pickup point in Wetteren — about 140 minutes' drive. For most customers here, driving back and forth to collect a kit holds little appeal. That's why home delivery is often the logical choice in this region: we bring the kit to you, wherever you are in Ostbelgien. For a completely worry-free setup, add our installation service (€75 per unit): we position the dish with a clear view of the sky and make sure you're online right away, with nothing to figure out yourself.
We deliver throughout Ostbelgien; pickup is possible in Wetteren, but that's a fair way from here (± 190 km).
Frequently asked questions
- Does Starlink work in the High Fens and the Eifel forests?
- Yes, as long as the antenna has a clear view of the sky. Trees directly above the dish can block the signal, so an open spot, meadow or roof works best. In the wooded areas of Ostbelgien where 4G drops out, Starlink is often the only stable alternative.
- Do I need to come to Wetteren or can I have it delivered?
- Delivery is usually the most convenient option here. Our pickup point in Wetteren is about 190 km away (roughly 140 minutes' drive), so we'd rather bring the kit to you in Ostbelgien. On-site installation is optional at €75 per unit, so there's nothing for you to sort out.
