Stunning data shows what Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink has done to both HughesNet and ViaSat. SpaceX Starlink has helped HughesNet and ViaSat move on.

As a former ViaSat customer Starlink has been a game changer for me. It's nice to not to be reduced to dial-up speeds for half of each month. I now can even watch KZbin without reducing the speed to 144p. I also pay $50 less a month then did with ViaSat so the equipment has paid for itself. I was also able drop dish network saving another $130 a month and stream my TVs . It's nice paying less and getting much more.

I moved to Maine just below the Canadian border about 4 years ago. It's a small town in the mountains with almost no good internet options. When we moved in we had Hughes and realized within the first month it wasn't going to work. Even uncapped it was slow and after hitting their caps in the first week it felt like I'd gone back to dial-up. We tried to compliment that with 4G wireless data options from both AT&T and Verizon but neither provided enough bandwidth for a household let alone a simple work conference solution. We got our Starlink about a year and a half ago, around the same time as I think you did. It has changed our situation up here and I REALLY want to thank you for all the amazing information you've provided. We too dealt with faulty dongles, lackluster support and tons of questions that were left unanswered and if it wasn't for your due diligence I wouldn't have some explanations as to why things as are as they are. Your hard work is greatly appreciated by those of us in these situations Joseph, keep up the good fight ;)

I'm like you...very rural with crappy Telcom DSL service. About 3 years ago I got Viasat as a faster option. Fall of 2023 I switched to Starlink shortly after it became available in my half of Texas. I lovel it. It even works in rainstorms. Viasat would usually go down, and the latency was originally about 700ms but eventually became around 3500ms...way to long. Starlink is giving me 30-60ms...with much faster speads. Great service.

Wow you had them since they started as wild blue. I started installing them when they were exede then later changed to their corporate name viasat. I loved doing the job, meeting different people going all over different places towns and doing the install. I was always honest with my customers before the install was started on the performance of the satellite service the speed, ping etc.. to avoid customer frustration and pissed off calls in the afternoon after data allowance. Hate that viasat never really took the latency, data & price issue seriously and now will suffer for it with starlink and massive co-op fiber rollout. Made good memories though.

Elon has done so so much good things improving the quality of human living not just in US but all over the World. Ukraine wouldnt have the slightest chance of standing up to Russia if it wasnt for Starlink. Its just super crazy how Americans hate Elon for no reasons at all. If it wasnt for Elon US would still be dependent on Russia for space travel and rocket engines, to name just a few good deeds Elon has done to US. Americans should respect Elon and be grateful that he's on US side. What if he suddenly changes side to China??

Yes to both questions. I had Wild Blue satellite service ten years ago. It felt like everyone was sharing the same satellite. My DSL was better, but ran at 5% of the speed folks in town can get. By comparison, Starlink rocks and is only getting better. It's 1/3 to 1/6 the speeds you are getting, but it still beats anything I've ever gotten before.

I asked around people in my area which internet providers they were using before Starlink became available. There were only two providers back then; HugesNet and ViaSat. People were just NOT happy with those two providers. These people were also getting charged for over-usages every month. So, I waited for the Starlink and am happy I did. People generally don't like to be tie-down with contracts. Great video!!

Was a Hughes Net customer for 9 years prior to Starlink. For 9 years we paid $160/month with a 50gbit data cap (which we seldom used because the speeds where to slow to stream video). Until 2 yrs ago that was our only option. Starlink has been a true blessing! Hughes Net at best was never better then 40Mps down and 3Mps up with an average latency of 700 to 800ms. Starlink 2yrs ago wasn't always the best in Prescott, Az. Seldom saw 100Mps up and 10Mps down with latencies around 40-100ms. BUT, never complained because Starlink on it's worst day was a far cry better than Hughes Net. Presently, with Starlink, consistently see between 100 to 250Mbps down. Upload speeds are still not much better than 10 to 15Mbps but acceptable for us. For us in rural Arizona, Starlink has been a game changer......might even have to give up Direct TV! Thank you, Joe, for the Starlink playlist! You helped better our Starlink experience and truly appreciate your efforts!!!

Moved to Starlink from DSL (after a 1-1/2 year wait!) and love it. Only outages have been: 1 national outage, 2 "storm" outages and one "router brain dead" requiring a couple of reboots. Speeds from 50Mb/s down and 6Mb/s up to well over 100Mb/s down and 20+Mb/s up. So far I'm happy to have it. Only alternative here is DSL. (Charlotte Hall, MD)

To comment on the dish being straight up….I have our Gen 2 flat mounted in a Star-Mount base on our van. Depending on how “level” we are it’s straight up. Works flawlessly. However, we do have a lot more sub second micro outages than if it’s oriented properly. I work in IT and absolutely need a fast reliable connection. I expect it’s only going to get better from here. We have the advantage of being close to 10’ off the ground as well which helps getting around obstacles that may interfere if your Gen 3 in on the ground. Love the channel and all your content. ❤

Years ago as rural customers, we were stuck with either, high latency satellite providers or little to no bandwidth DSL providers. We chose to suffer with 4-7 Mb DSL due to latency requirements. Twenty months ago [May 22] we finally got our Starlink and life has never been better. Rest in peace, Model T internet provides. :)

Not needing to point the dish is why v3 doesn't have a motor drive, heck, many people are already deleting or disabling their servos now and mounting them flat. I have been on StarLink 15 months with a 300GB/mo terrestrial RV hotspot as a backup (for same price as StarLink) as sometimes the StarLink TP-Link made router goes on the freak. I am going to replace it with a power supply and another router when it really takes a dump. I have replaced cable, that is not the problem and disabled the heater (which we don't need in the southern hemisphere), it just connects at 100mb and complains and then sometimes doesn't connect at all when the online dish status is fine when checked with a working Internet connection. The phone company failed to replace our underground line for 9 months (subcontractor failure) and we are rather remote and there is no cable Internet here either as an option.

J....you are 100% correct on every point anout Hughesnet. As a former technician doing Hughesnet repairs, I can review the company's history and point out where it began to fail, and was bound to fail. When HN changed to a cheap-labor model, laying off many competent American engineers, and insourced foreign workers, HN jumped off the cliff. I witnessed the downsides often, and it began a cancer growing throughout its way of operating. For years they knew their system was broken, but told no one. We technicians were trying to figure out what to fix, but unbeknownst to us, almost never was the problem hardware related. The field technicians were effectively consigned to convincing the customer nothing was wrong with their equipment. Guess how? Needlessly replace every bit of equipment at their residence... every single time. How this situation for HN ended up the way it did could be written as a textbook of bad management decisions, where companies go wrong. They are numerous for Hughesnet, and the biggest loser was, of course, the customer.

I was on a WISP connection since the early naughties and stumbled along with less than 7 mbs down. At the start of the pandemic, we went to a "28 mbs" connection that actually worked fairly well, but cost us $120 CAD a month. Then a year ago, there was an advertisement for Starlink for $199 and $130 a month. Haven't looked back since.

I myself use Starlink as a backup of my Xfinity connection, I have to switch to Starlink on average 3-4 times a month for more than 5hrs at a time. I like the security of being able to rely on Starlink in an emergency such as an earthquake or other natural disaster that may knock out ground-based infrastructure. Aside from that I also take it with me when going on road trips or camping as a means of connecting to the world at remote locations where cellular coverage is nonexistent or spotty, movies in the trailer at night streamed from Netflix for example and the kids love it.

I will add to great comments. We had Viasat eventually because all we had was phone line and almost NO cell service. Went on Starlink waiting list for over 1 1/2 year before we got it. Amazing!!! Love it. This last year fiber went thru on the next road over. Did NOT come down our road because of not many people and not worth it to them. Because of Starlink we dropped our land line of over 50 years. Also dropped " Dish". HUGE saving all the way around. I am an old fart and love gaming . Am an Admin to one sight. I LOVE Starlink!

We moved to the mountains of Colorado in 2023. No services are available, and zero cell reception. My wife works remotely all day, and requires good phone and internet. We only bought the property AFTER we verified Starlink was available. We have a gen 2, and bypassed into a TPLink AX3000 Mesh network with 5 nodes. We're absolutely happy with this setup, and would not have been able to move here without it! The only issue I have had is trying to access Reolink security camera system NVR from the internet. Port forwarding doesn't work and I'm not finding a work around.

During my time as a Hughesnet customer, I was asked to respond to surveys (after many struggles with their so called technical support) asking how I rated Hughesnet service. Each time, my response was "Better than nothing, but not by much." When I was finally able to escape their clutches, the nice gal on the phone asked me what they could do to keep my business. Really? I guess those surveys are about as worthwhile as any of those large corporations' values. You are so right - 🤬AT&T, Sprint, TWN, and Hughesnet were all so disappointing in my rural environment. All over promised and under delivered 🤬. SpaceX Starlink is the first to come through as expected (and improving).

We had terrible DSL from Century Link and after watching a bunch of your videos we ponied up for Starlink. We're in the mountains and had "clear skies" for the set-up in September but now in January we've been having a lot more latency and jitter. (Just watched that last video about jitter...) So tonight we have "expect interruptions every 6 minutes". Is this perhaps because the satellites are behind our mountains? We haven't disconnected the DSL yet but probably will soon.

If these companies were smart, they would be in talks to merge with Starlink while they still have something to offer. Imagine if Starlink could either retrofit the existing HughesNet satellites with laser datalinks or replace the HughesNet satellites in their geosynchronous orbit locations using that one idea that was discussed where the low orbit satellites communicate with an outer orbit satellite with lasers to reduce the number of hops (and possibly some distance) before beaming to a local satellite and then beamed to the final destination. If Starlink could get those rights for such a modification, they could potentially be spending significantly less just to add a module onto the existing satellites and that would also potentially allow for the HughesNet service to remain operational for the customers who might be have better signal through them or just don't want to switch yet.

In Mexico ViaSat Offers: 10Mbps plan for $69.66 Dollars per month, with a fair use policy of 35GB that once they have been consumed, the download speed will be 256Kbps, and it is with a minimum contract duration of 12 months. They say they have plans of up to 50Mbps for home use. so funny hahah

This is off topic, have you ever tried gaming on T-Mobile vs Starlink? or did a comparison of prolonged ping times? We was looking looking for a backup to the backup and was wondering how T-Mobile would hold up. Tried gaming on Huge it was a GD joke with 600+ ping. We have Starlink- its ok gaming but fast ping is usually always the best. Love all the work you do and the videos! Pec! out!

@user-sf5wl4sc3k That sounds terrible. We get 30-35 ping on Starlink but Starlink can drop you from time to time. We was wondering if it T-Mobile with a fixed antenna was better. When JC dropped his video- "SpaceX Starlink Is Refocusing" it got us to thinking about T-M. Thanks for the info friend!

I worry if the satellite Internet companies goes out of business and everybody moves to starlink that it is going to overwhelm the system. It happened with centuryLink where I live, it was a lot more reliable when it was new after they installed a new cable in my area. Overtime, it has slowed down and now have constant outages. Only kept CenturyLink as a back up, sometimes it's not Worth it.

So this isn't relevant to the topic being discussed other then to say my experience has been pretty damn decent I've been able to play games, stream movies. I haven't uploaded content yet but I hwve downloaded some games and that's been a whole day process for video games but it's still fantastic over Viasat and Hughs. Anyway way what I eanted to say was I recently just had a BAD storm and sad to say my Starlink didn't survive I thought Starlink wouldn't cover it but I decided to ask anyway and GREAT NEWS! They credited my account for the month and their sending me a replacement kit free of charge and providing a return label. This was a very unexpected and pleasant surprise! I've had my dishy for 9 months now so not very long but I'm very happy with it still. It's not perfect yet but it's damn close.

Starlink doesn't have to deliver 100 up, 20 down to everyone connected to Starlink. All they have to do is insure those speeds to the Rural Broadband service areas. Starlink can do that right now by simply prioritizing service of 100 up, 20 down for those customers. Of course getting everyone's service above that threshold is preferable, but complete compliance with the mandate is doable right now, never mind 2025.

I don't see ViaSat going away, only their commercial internet side. As someone that spent 20 in Air Force communications, what many people don't realize is that ViaSat is a HUGE defense contractor and makes most of the network encryption devices used in DoD data centers among others. They also own many military data link protocols and the military is heavily invested in their SATCOM systems (for now). But yes, I do agree the commercial side will die a slow death for them, but honestly they make most of their money from DoD anyway.

Why are there still holes in the coverage in the USA? I'm right in the middle of a no service hole in far west Texas, near Fort Davis, there are no government installations (that I know of) nearby, I know that many of my neighbors got residential when it first came out then they locked us out with no explanation. If you look, it's a tiny little spot with no coverage, why???????

@@brucecardwell5809 I would accept that, except for the fact that my neighbors (including across the street from me) are using Starlink residential (from the first time around) and if you look at the coverage map, basically everywhere except where my neighborhood is, has coverage, including where the observatory is located. Fort Davis which is closer to the observatory has open coverage, just not the tiny dot where I live. I'm just trying to find out why. Thanks for your reply though :)

The funniest thing I saw the other day was about a new Geo satellite company called Astranis, and the video was titled “Starlink vs. Astranis” as if there was any competition. Why in the hell would any company waste the time and money, and they talk about it like it’s some new innovation. All of the comments were just bashing it because of the latency. In the video they even said that you would never want to do any gaming, or anything like that. The only advantage is that they said that it would be cheap. What good is cheap internet, if it’s not good for anything 😂

As long as VS and HN remain in a high geo-stationary orbit they will never be able to compete with the mature version of SL. The end. However, for the remaining and dwindling user bases the speeds should improve so...partial win, right? I was able to get out of my HN contract 9-10 years ago by berating their Germantown office directly with some data facts and they canceled the contract. Back then the FAP limit (haha) was a paltry 140 Mb/day! We've since dropped Dish, 6 months ago and stream everything. Our data usage is usually around 1.6 to 2 TB each month. I was even offered the chance to get 1Gb down/1Gb up fibre here and turned it down. I like being able to have access to the internet, wifi calling, etc...even when we're on generator. Can't do that with fibre or cable. /happy SL user for 3 years now.

I had the Liberty Pass Viasat account where you got 12 gigs of high speed data and then were slowed down for an unlimited data amount. This worked for me and the price was low. I did mainly file downloads and not streaming, so this worked well. I blew through the 12 gigs in one or two days lol I don't think the Liberty Pass plan is available anymore. I was lucky to have the cheaper non-wireless router account as well. I don't think they offer that anymore either. I used Viasat for heavy file downloads and my 3G for browsing. I am so glad to have Starlink. I am paying less for more now.

I agree these two satellite ISP's are grasping at straws and slapping lipstick on a pig. We had Viasat for several years at 12 down and 120 a month. It went out all the time in bad weather and data capped at 250 gb. Getting Starlink allowed us to finally watch 4k, automate our home and bring us into the modern age. Day and night between services at the same cost. Elon constantly innovates and improves his service while other companies stagnate. In my opinion Starlink is a no BS service, reliable, trustworthy and constantly improving. We live in rural Oklahoma with huge trees all around. No problems with the service. More than happy customers.

GEO Satellites are fine for streaming or browsing the internet but not much else; and the data caps imposed by Hughes and the other provider just seal the coffin and make them a non-viable alternative to Starlink. 🤷‍♂️ Edit: And those damn contracts 👎 Never again will I deal with ANY company that forces me into a contract with cancellation fee bs.
