I have been running Starlink since Nov-2020 as a beta, speeds continually increase as does reliability.... I love it....but then my only other option was CenturyLink DSL. My question is, why do you find it necessary to use the Starlink router? I have never (other than for a moment during set up) used the Starlink router. Their router just doesn't provide the functionality of my ASUS AI Mesh.

I am in rural area in an oppressive country. My experience with starlink has been: 1. Life-changing. We had nothing previously. 2. 1-minute connection loss, for every like 2 hours. (that means no FPS online games) 3. 300ms latency, 20-80Mbps speed (this is because starlink had to move my service ground station to a much further country for my unit to work, because the one in my country is being manipulated by the government) 4. Unit i'm using is regional roaming, on a country that's not officially available.

Hy and greetings from Germany! Nothing to add, I am completely satisfied with Starlink. Though I am living 30 kilometers away from the headquarter of Telekom, they are not able to bring cable fast internet to our small village here. So I bought the dishy last year in October and tata, it’s works great. Measuring the download and upload speed definitely depends inside the house from the WiFi technology. When using your phone or iPad it’s okay to have less speed, when I use my computer it’s cable connected with full speed. I can only confirm your ideas and experiences. I recommended Starlink to 4 friends since and they are happy, too. Thanks for your videos and the time you put into creating them. Have a nice evening and keep on going (I love the launches of the SpaceX rockets 🚀) 😘😘🍀🌞

I have gen 1 Starlink. I just ran the advanced speed tests per your suggestion. Turns out that even though I have good speed dish to router, the speed wifi to router far exceeds it, so I guess I'll leave it as-is. I use the Starlink built in wifi and it reaches, not only the entire 4k sq ft. of the house, but about 100 feet in all directions around the house in my yard. I have a cheap switch sending wired ethernet to the TVs and where laptops are frequently used, but regularly 8 to 10 wifi devices. No speed issues.

I, a few months ago moved from my farm house in southern Tennessee. I am a network gru and was measuring my speed constantly with WiFi eithernet and from dish to router. The most speed I ever got from dish to router was 160 down and 15 up. Now this was ages better than the att dsl which was garbage (like 3 down and up didn’t exist). We had the best effort starlink and it was pretty good, the only time we lost our service was when it was a complete down poor and flash flooding was in effect. We now have Comcast and love it.

As a remote location user this is the information I was looking for. I work IT and am using DSL currently which is no longer workable. Living in a remote location I don't have any other option for ISPs. Into the forums I went for info on Starlink. As you stated it seemed most people complaining had poor network setup, or the speeds were limited to their personal devices and not the service itself. and your video has confirmed this. We do get lots of snow where I live in the upper Midwest and i was concerned about that. Only other thing I am concerned about is performance in extreme cold. Sometimes we get up to -30 degrees. I was not sure if this has any effect on the hardware or if running the heater would impact the satellite longevity. Thanks again for the video!

A year ago I moved to a remote location in Florida, first time I’ve lived with no cable available. I paid my deposit to get on the Starlink wait list, and after a couple of months I was offered the service center than I expected. They shipped me a box with the components and for some reason I was so intimidated by the thought of having to figure it out and get it up and running that I procrastinated almost a month. Once I committed to doing it, I was truly😅 amazed at how simple set up was and how quickly I had it working. Performance is good and I’ve had no problems. It was so simple.

Great video! I have had Starlink for more than a year for my RV. I originally bought residential service and later switched to RV (month by month). I’m told it’s deprioritized but we traveled coast-to-coast and back this summer and fall and saw consistently great performance wherever we had a reasonable view of the sky. I have my Starlink attached to a 25 ft. telescoping pole. From there I eliminated the Starlink router altogether for a POE injector and plugged Starlink directly into a PepWave mobile router via grounded ethernet. The PepWave has multiple LTE sims so I can fall back to Verizon or ATT automatically. Keep up the great videos !

I am an IT guy who does networking, and corporate IT support for the Portland Oregon area. I too have conducted the correct tests that measures the speed at the dish and not the rest of the network. In our area it is not uncommon to get the lower 80 Mbps download speeds. I do not work for Starlink but from what we have gathered it is related to network congestion at the base stations. Since our dishes point north our signals often go the satellites above Canada and beamed to Seattle. Although we have closer base stations just a few miles up the road, that's not how there telemetry works. My final conclusion, the Starlink network is not complete, its still being built, and Starlink is very popular in our rural landscape, In time the Starlink Network will get larger and better.

Much like the Hyper loop, Starlink will be a rotting corpse also. It’s capabilities aren’t even half their stated claims. Thousands of people can’t get customer service to help. The cracks are leaking already and the dam will fail. Is it better than absolutely nothing at all? Yes, of course it is. If you don’t mind constant signal loss, buffering , slow speed and throttling. The more people who use the service, the slower and less reliable it will become. Buy a cheap T-Mobile phone and get their unlimited data plan for 50 bucks per month. Bluetooth or cast off of it for your other devices.

When I first set up starlink for testing it was on my kitchen table, my other router was on the opposite end of the house, getting full bars in the kitchen, but for starlink it was around 1 bar and auto switched to 2.4ghz at the tplinks location.

All of the points that you made are common sense. I've had mine for 7 months and love it. Last month when they turned the dish, unfortunately, mine ended up facing the side of my roof. I had it raised on a pole and everything is fine. Starlink re-pointed the dish from north to northeast to better balance the load. In the southeast, they pointed us toward the satellites that are over the Atlantic that had lower usage thereby reducing the loads over the continental U.S. I was a little upset; when I put my ticket in, Starlink reminded me that users are responsible for no obstructions on a 360 degree basis. Just because the initial setup was to the north, created no obligation to keep it that way. I have a mesh router system and it's fine. By the way, be careful keeping your heater on too long. It can actually melt the cable at the dish end. You're probably better off monitoring the snow and turn it off and on periodically.

When I first got it, I didn't realise it didn't come with an ethernet port, so was using the internet wifi. The best speeds I could get was around 150. I purchased the ethernet adatpor, disabled the wifi in the Starlink router, and then purchased a TP Link Deco X40 mesh wifi which now gives me pretty much consisten 200-250mbps downloads over wifi (and better over ethernet). Mesh is definitely the way to go if you live in a large house or a house with mutiple storeys.

My brother got Starlink since fiber wasn't available in his area. It worked great with quicker/faster than cable. Earlier this year, we had lots of rolling blackouts in our city since power company had shut down some plants for maintenance and grid would get overloaded quickly (they sent out emails warning customers before hand). After the first blackout, the Starlink antenna died. It was unresponsive when the power came back on. He read about Starlink antenna issues with power outtages in forums, so he had a dedicated power supply/surge protector for the antenna and modem/router. Even with that, the antenna still died. They did send him a new antenna after a few weeks, but since hasn't encountered a black out yet.

I live on the Oregon coast. I was part of the Starlink Beta release. Was on the list for a year before they shipped the first systems. Took me 20 mins to install it and turn it on. I was constrained about where I could put the antenna and had to put it on the ground at first. Had about 20% obstructions from tree tops. Still got 150 to 300 mbps down. Best I've had is 401 mbps. But had frequent obstruction-based outages that lasted 1 to 15 seconds. Nonetheless, streaming was not impacted enough to piss me off. Live calls and video conferencing was a bit of a problem. Recently raised the antenna and have no obstructions and that problem evaporated. I'd gnaw my feet off before I gave up my Starlink.

The biggest thing that caught my attention, in this vid is the monthly service cost. I was under the impression StarLink was 150 usd a month? The other thing is people mentioning t-mobile internet monthly cost...its 40 dollars a month where I live, at promo/auto pay, but like 60usd normally with a promise to "managespeeds if excessive usage occurs"... then Spectrum , and Windstream also have deals of around the same amount.... I noticed shortly after Starlink stepped in, prices started to drop, even though I live in a city..heh That all being said, its so awesome to see more rural homes have options

Here in Florida we have blackouts from bad weather and serious speed reductions. We notice the streaming TV picture degrade and then run a speed test, it is often 3-8Mbs. This has gotten better over time but for a year our top speeds were often in the 80Mbs range. It seems like the more northern locations are doing better than Florida.

Thanks for your info, was on a waiting list here in WV. I look forward to anything going up at more that 700kbs and 6mbs down. I will take your advice and try the ethernet adapter and use my existing distribution system. At my home only DSL or cell is an option and it sucks. The cable company will not run our street because at the time they were installing the density was too low. 15 years and 40 houses later they still say for cable access we need to pay $70,000. Hard to complain to a state sponsored monopoly, but that's what WV did to us.

I've had Starlink since March 2021. After having to suffer using my cellphone's hotspot for the year prior due to our office shutting down for Covid, Starlink couldn't have come at a better time. Took me all of 90 minutes from unpacking the box to connecting to the service. Since then, other than the few times there have been major network outages, I have had no issues. My kids could stream and game on their computers, while my wife and I watched movies in the living room. I know some haven't had the "success" I've had, but I can't imagine what life would've been like if this didn't come along when it did. Traditional satellite internet is all we had before, with their ridiculous data caps that would max out in the first week of the cycle and slow speeds.

This was a great insight to this Starling newbie.

Excellent video... we're off the grid and use a phone Hotspot to access internet on our laptop ... yes, it's Dark Ages. We're switching to Starlink. You said you would post a video in a "couple of weeks" on connecting up the Starlink Dish system but didn't find it among your videos. This is what I was able to follow: Starlink Dish to Starlink Router to separately purchased Starlink Ethernet Adaptor ($25) for the purpose of bypassing WiFi issues and finally to a separately purchased TP-Link Router. Do I have this right? If you could do the video, I'm sure many of us would like to see it. Please let us know what TP-Link Router model you are using and why. Just tested speeds DL: 4.60 MBps and 3.02 MBps; UP: 0.00 MBps and 0.12 MBPS Thats it, we're done with the Hotspot and getting Starlink. Looking forward to seeing your follow-up video on Starlink.

@SilverCymbal, I believe the true internet speed test would be measured using something like Okla Speedtest where it measures between you and the source of the internet. The SL App is measuring between you and the Satellite. But doesn’t take into account their ground station, and furthermore their connection to an ISP.

I would say ping and jitter is more important than bandwidth (speed). Of course everyone wants the fastest speeds to download everything faster or so many people can say stream different things at once without noticing an impact. However for real time tasks, gaming and video calls being the big one these days, ping is everything. While actually playing an online game, very little data is actually being transferred, something around 100-300kbps is typical. Having huge spikes in latency however can be noticeable and more impactful then slow speeds. Stable steady ping (low jitter) is key.

I have just ordered mine here in the UK so I shall test the system and report however, since I will probably mount the receiver on the roof of my solar shed, I am in doubt wether to connect the Ethernet adaptor to the house and live my Victron system relying on the StarLink WiFi since they both live in the same building or instead do the reverse and hard connect to the solar shed where may Micro Grid is and use another access point in the house. Obviously option one would be the easiest one so I'll have to try that first unless I receive better ideas from this channel. Just for the records I have a land line with Sky but it's providing me with a ridiculously 10Mb/s when I'm lucky and they are charging me £55.00 a month so I've decided to give them the elbow. 🙏Thanks for sharing your discoveries that will certainly help us all obtaining a better performance of the StarLink System

There is no dedicated heater inside the dishes. Videos dismantling the dish have shown this. The heat comes from the antenna (s) and how much power they use which is variable based on need. The dish will never point entirely the other way as mentioned in the video that some people reported that, which from this video where the dish is now (north) and where the tall trees are (assuming that is this the dish's south) because starlink services cannot interfere with other providers sending their signal from that angle. They will always point somewhat north in North America.

That is a very interesting video, thanks for taking so much trouble. One question, any idea of the latency speed of your set up please? I live in North West France in a very rural area. The internet reception is CR*P so hence I am looking at Starlink. Like many people who have similar connection problems I also make how to videos for KZbin. The last 18 minute video I made took me over 5 hours to upload!!!! So I need to do something about this. Plus I have a stone built house and some 25 meters away a stone built office and I need internet connection in both. From my research so far I have come up with a pole mounted antenna on the office outer wall above roof height then a feed into the office and from the office via an existing underground ethernet cable (via an ethernet adapter) into the house. Does that sound like it might work? Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Ok - Great Video and Content. So like you I live in the woods, run a video conferencing reseller and have tried every darn way to maximize internet access without wireline service available in any way (fiber, dsl-copper, coax, carrier pigeon). I like you have evolved from every dish provider to the 4LTE/5G guys and their resellers in the past 30 years. First - thanks for telling people they need to get the network behind the router right. I use Ubiquiti behind both our properties and at family where somehow I have been deemed IT support, even if I only signed up to love and take care of their daughter (my in-laws). Ubiquiti has been fantastic! I digress. I too have t-mobile for $70 as backup - but I use a second cellular radio (MOFI) with a T-mo sim because there is/was no way to get a reliable ethernet connection out of that box and avoid double NAT issues etc. Has this changed? How do you guys integrate the t-mobile can as an automatic failover or second internet service to the house network? One guy says dream machine will do that - I agree, but not without a ethernet port - unless he hacked the box (trash can unit) he got from them right?

I put my deposit for Starlink and on the wait list for 2023 due to it being at capacity. I have a choice of 3 traditional wireline and 3 cellular carriers. I totally agree that if you have access to get better speeds and price on traditional wireline or cellular, you're definitely better off doing that. With that being said, why Starlink? The reason is for redundancy since I live in a subtropical zone and is prone to tropical cyclones annually. Mobile carriers systems here are fairly hardened from damages that tropical cyclones can throw at them, but they're still linked together by some wireline link to each site. With their fairly low latency, I can still have my remote video conferences and general communications when my primary services goes down.

This. I'm in the boonies, no fiber optic, the only ISP was centurylink (now britespeed, but they havent been able to fix centurylink's nightmare of 10 years outdated and unmaintained lines yet). Mobile hotspots got better speed and latency than the cabled internet. Starlink got better speeds than the hotspots. Although, something like the Caylix Institute's uncapped T-mobile hotspot, if you're near one of the major highways/roads where T-mobile is most active, you can reach speeds far an above starlink at almost no ping. But that is location dependent, opposed to starlink which is effectively plug and play so long as you have a clear horizon somewhere on the property.

@@krel7160 T-mobile definitely has a few good things going. I've seen speeds upward of 1 Gbps down and 350 Mbps up in 5G Ultra Capacity mode if the tower has the available bandwidth, but averages out to 300/100 Mbps. I really have no complaints. For a city that is only 60 sq land miles, some parts have access to fiber. Several companies including Google talked about bringing more fiber in, but its been almost 12 years. Frontier who took over the former Ma Bell system is restarting their fiber to home again, but who know when that will be. TBH, I really don't really want to deal with Ma Bell just from the crappy experience in the past. As for Starlink, I finally got it in mid April and been fairly happy with the service so far. I take it with me to the cabin in the swamp since there is absolutely no cell service once I get about 3 miles off of the main road.
