Starlink Driving, RV camping, Off Grid High Speed Internet

Starlink is a revolutionary way to get internet all around the world through a vast network of low orbit satellites ⬇️More INFO below⬇️
I use a solar generator to power Starlink and my laptop off grid. Here is one that is similar to the model I use: amzn.to/3Tk5IwD
You can get Starlink here: www.starlink.com/
Elon Musk, who is the founder of Starlink plus a few other successful ventures such as Tesla car company and SpaceX, came up with an idea of using thousands of tiny satellites that create a grid like network. His satellites surrounds the whole planet, so they can beam down high speed internet anywhere in the world. I've had a chance to use it over the last 2 months and test it out all over north America. In this video I will share my results and also show you how I set my my Starlink internet.

Love the insight!

[@lightspawn4204]

That's 🔥 Tom, thanks.

[@Taia-school]

Thank you for this video 👌🏿

[@FORGHANIMUSIC]

Great review

[@alanniven4053]

How well does Starlink work for long form live streaming? That is 30 minute to 2 hour livestream. I have tried the Netgear 5G hotspot with T-Mobile and even in an urban setting with good coverage it does on provide reliable 5mbps livestream. Speedtest can show 10-20mbps upload rates, but the latency is all over the place, even greater than 99ms as shown on the newer version of Speedtest. I glad to see you are still doning interesting stuff with film, I ran into your KZbin channel more than two years ago.

[@TomMakesThings]

I definitely wouldn't be able to work on my off-grid remote property without Starlink

[@acamilop]

Great review! Glad you showed the moving speeds.

[@TomAntos]

Thanks! 👍

[@Savior967]

Fantastic!🎥👍🏻

[@TomAntos]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@galgatv]

I approve this message!

[@KarrGalaxyStudios]

Hey Tom great video! This is really cool for internet mobility and speeds still seem reasonable even for uploads in a pinch. Hope you and Lukas and family are well!

[@TomAntos]

We are doing great, how are you buddy? Maybe we can do some more live streams.

[@KarrGalaxyStudios]

@@TomAntos I'm Okay. Yeah we should catch up soon!

[@magneticgrid7998]

so its not horrible but not yet there maybe with time it can replace most internet providers but only if they lower the price of the equipment

[@user-sh8op2ku3c]

It's not bad to have such a compact device remotely, I'm watching the development of starlink and Tesla

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Congrats on the new 'crib'. I see water in the background. Here's a suggestion for a site appropriate project: 'How to record an alligator wrestling video' 🤣

[@TomAntos]

Haha already did that one. Seriously we actually have a regular here that shows up in the morning at the shore and relaxes next to my canoe... he's about 10-12 feet long. Beautiful sight everytime I see him.

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

@@TomAntos megga cool.

[@timm2020]

Better signal than I get now in the wilds of Michigan

[@danbbrawner]

Maybe you could do a video on your solar golf cart.

[@circlethewagons]

It's hard to find a negative review on starlink, I have watched a few including yours, and ordered it Monday.I live in the backwoods of the remote part of NH there is no broadband available. I tried to order it last month, but kept getting an error message saying that my email was invalid, after checking and double checking (it was NOT invalid, I have had the same email address for years). There were 3 starlink internet pending charges on my bank account, because I clicked order now three times. The 3 charges never went through, I forgot about it and then tried again Monday. It went through and they deducted the 649.00 from my account. They must have fixed the glitch on the app. I should get it any day, hopefully I don't have to many trees.

Hey Tom

[@OutdoorCountryLiving]

Careful with driving while using it, against their TOS (even with RVs)

[@s1opp]

From the Starlink RV official page "The new Flat High Performance Starlink allows users to enjoy high-speed, low-latency internet while in-motion."

[@Abdullahs_World]

I'm watching on 8Mbps connection, I got 800Kbps speed all the time. I'm paying 15-16$ per month.

[@TomAntos]

Who is your internet provider? Also where are you located? In a city or remote location?

[@Sneaky-Sneaky]

This is very cool tech….but it’s expensive….

[@TomAntos]

yup

[@lak3d]

I was hoping for some vfx stupp🙄🙄

[@TomAntos]

That's coming in another video. Sorry

[@drtracking]

I did some test driving on a Tesla and it works ok, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXOylKSgl7NrmcU Just testing , the service is slower now.

[@TomAntos]

Thanks for your video. So you don't think the glass rooftop impedes the signal at all?

[@drtracking]

@@TomAntos It should have a small attenuation in the Ku band ( RX 12Ghz Tx 14GHz) but in the test, based on the results, driving and stationary the results are basically the same. I can send you some results for you to share ( I wanted to make nice videos but I'm not that good editing ). I designed a fixture to put in the Tesla glass ) . In your pickup, with the cover on , it should work if it's not metal. But please note, Starlink at this point does not want that to be ... done. I've done some test down in the island driving around and staying in places. Basic Ping test, comparing it to local service providers ( Claro, Altice and Starlink ) . Starlink is not bad, amazing technology is applied in the Phase Array , demonstrated while driving and while the antena is stationary following the satellite. For me that's the most impressive part.
