Congratulations. It's difficult to think a company in the UK was operating on less than 1mb. If you're network switch is old, it might be worth changing it out for a fresh new fast one. Greetings from Ireland 1GB to the house. 🇮🇪.

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Thank you, yes it certainly was difficult. The switch is only a couple years old, but I will certainly look in to this. Thank you 👍🏼

[@richarddcrossley]

Great news. Game changer for your work. I’ve bought one more for the odd time we go away somewhere remote and using it to watch this video 😂 £150 on offer at the moment!

[@mattdell]

Nice video! Did your speed to the PC ever get higher than 30Mbps? I was very surprised that WiFi was 181Mbps but then the PC was down to 30Mbps. Was any of your existing network equipment limiting it?

[@DJC995]

Nice One James never heard of starlink Looked a simple installed Thanks again

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Yeah it is certainly simple to install, thanks Darren 👍🏼

[@Cablesmith]

That’s awesome 👏🏼

[@alanjrobertson]

An improvement for sure but I think there's something wrong with your wired network! Given the speeds you're getting on Wifi you should be getting the same or better on the wired LAN. Initially I'd try plugging directly into the Starlink router and retest, then into the switch via a short Cat 5E cable then try different ports in your existing wiring to try and work out where the bottleneck is! Would be interesting to see a follow up once you find the problem!

Im am moving to a rural location and there is NO internet in the village (only 60 people live here). I am praying that i can get this to work!!

[@projects-px6sn]

Great video, not looked on your other videos yet but id be interested you hear your review and maybe show more speed test but if you all ready done a review then ignore me

[@finditfixitfarmit]

We’ve since moved property and it’s still working fine 👍🏼

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Good one James 👍

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Thank you Nev 👍🏼

[@peterbaldwin4150]

What length of cable did you get in the box. I expected 75’ but only got 50’. Not enough to reach my router site from outbuilding roof. Had to order 150’ to even test. More waiting unfortunately

[@catchacow1927]

Good job James! How much does it cost?

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Too much haha! About £80 per month and £500 ish to set up. Hope all is well Catcha 👍🏼

[@pjohnwilliams6941]

It's too expensive

[@stepho9999]

Rubbish ..you would be better on EE with a receiver ..

[@banjomir519]

I think his speed was limited to 30Mb/s because he is using the additional ethernet cable. Wifi speeds should hit around 200Mb/s. So no, it's not rubbish. And he has the added advantage of not having to rely on Openreach, who can at times be absolutely crap.

[@stepho9999]

@@banjomir519 So from 200mb/s to 30mb/s because he plugged in an Ethernet cable ....that is absolute rubbish ...simple as .

[@Justin-yt8zv]

@@stepho9999 you have an ee signal then? You do realise the coverage isn't the same around the country right? So again how do you know specifically what this guys 4g coverage is like?

[@SirZanZa]

you need a better network switch, seems to be limiting you badly

[@leemarsh5258]

Exactly - you should be getting way more than 30mbps from your PC's - so either it's the NIC's in the PC's, the cabling between PC's and switch or the switch itself. Might be worth chatting to you IT provider but either way, great video and great to see this make such a big difference to a rural business.

Isn’t starlink Elon Musks business? I think they are the satellites you can see one after the other in the sky at night (they look like moving stars)

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Yeah that’s the one. Hope all is well Luke 👍🏼

I am in Yorkshire and I get 1GB but I also have Starlink for my travels :)

[@tommoore3292]

Are you still using it ? Im thinking of getting starlink it looks very good if your options are poor

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Yes the whole business is run on it now. I’ve still got 4g set up in case there is ever an outage 👍🏼
