Starlink or DIGI: Which Is Better in Portugal? (2026)
The short answer
Starlink is the answer only where no fixed network reaches; wherever DIGI (or any fibre) exists, it is faster, five times cheaper and contract-light. Check GEO.ANACOM before buying the dish.

The criteria are fixed
Every comparison on this site uses the same 6 rows in the same order, so two pages can be read against each other. We do not add a row because one side happens to win it.
A win is a stated threshold
A row is won on the published number or capability, not on judgement. Ties are declared rather than broken. Figures come from provider price lists and official sources.
How we get paid
Both links earn a commission at the same rate, so the winner of a row is never the higher-paying one. Fees come from each provider's own published price list, not a comparison feed.
