Growth is a good problem — until it becomes a bottleneck.
Over the past months, requests for Starlink installations across Cebu, Bohol, Iloilo, Leyte, and beyond have surged. More resorts. More remote homes. More businesses that finally found internet that actually reaches them.
We hit the point every service business dreads: more bookings than crews.
Here's how we solved it — and what it means for you if you're booking an installation with us right now.
Where We Are Today
The numbers behind this post, stated plainly:
- 50+ active installations in progress or completed across the Visayas
- Coverage stretching from Metro Cebu to island provinces most installers won't travel to
- A growing pipeline of residential, resort, and commercial sites booked weeks out
We're sharing this for one reason: when you book with us, you deserve to know the crew showing up has done this dozens of times this year — not once in a training video.
The Honest Bottleneck
We won't dress it up. For a stretch, our installation schedule was the constraint, not demand.
A two-person crew can only mount, cable, and align so many dishes per week. Every typhoon-season repair, every island job that eats a full day in ferry travel, pushed the next booking further out. Some customers waited longer than we were comfortable with.
We could have capped bookings and protected the schedule. Instead, we chose to scale.
The Partnership That Closed the Gap
Closing a manpower gap the right way takes more than warm bodies with a drill. Starlink installation demands alignment precision, roof-safe mounting, and weatherproofing that survives Visayas typhoon season.
That's why we're genuinely grateful for the help of OCD Smart Security. Their crews — already experienced Starlink and security installers in their own right — stepped in during our busiest stretch, letting us keep pace with appointments without cutting corners on quality.
This wasn't a handoff to strangers. OCD Smart Security crews work to the same mounting and cabling standards we hold on every job — and they've been on-site with us enough that the partnership is now part of how we operate.
The result: more crews on the road, shorter waits, same standard of work.
What This Means for Your Booking
If you've been hesitating to book because you assumed the wait was long — the picture has changed:
- More installation slots per week across Cebu and the wider Visayas
- Faster response on ocular visits, so your quote reflects your actual roof, not a guess
- Same quality bar, whether the crew is our core team or a partner team trained to our standards
Urgent jobs still get priority scheduling when crews are free — and with more crews, "free" happens more often.
