Finally you’ve learnt the difference between megabits and megabytes.

[@skillerbg]

6:11 That's x25 speed. Change it to 0 so the satellites stop moving and you'll get constant speed for your internet.

[@filipivan5125]

U are correct its x25 speed on the website BUT *u cant control the actual satellites speed* 🤣🤣🤣 only the animation.

[@jordi512]

[@Wilko101]

​@@LemonTekkin did you not read what he said?!

[@kingkea3451]

Where I live (in NZ) we're about 2km away from a fibre point but the people who lay fibre have no plans to extend it from there. So our options are ADSL (maximum 15Mbps up, ~1Mbps down) or Starlink (which currently is about 50 bucks more expensive at minimum)

[@LeJimster]

Starlink is really meant for people out in remote areas. If you live in an area that has access to fibre, it's a no brainer... I think eventually (many years from now) there will be servers floating in space and gaming on a starlink type system will probably be very good.

[@VengFPV]

I have "fibre" but my location means I actually only get 5 down/1 up (on a good day..) so Starlink is my only hope. Only issue is I do play online games sometimes, so may hook up my desktop to both connections and only enable the fibre one when needed.

[@landgrenade]

Do you see Starlink being a problem when it comes to your business?

[@MasseyLee]

Good question

[@sven5666]

It is way more expensive. Not only the monthly fee, but also the power costs. Reliability also will be worse and much higher latency.

[@samuelgoodwin2960]

I think you were at x25 speed on that satellite monitor xx

[@Alex-un5tl]

[@earth5865]

i haven't watched this guy for like 3 years but im happy to see him improving and improving even tho he was perfect and had perfect vids

[@oligi2002]

With FTTH, you would be getting 200ms if you are connecting to a server in Japan from the US. A speed test by default will connect you to the closest server hence the low latency while a starlink connection will have much better advantage with intercontinental coverage. A starlink connection from US to Japan will be less than 100ms because of lesser physical routing as opposed to FTTH which would have to follow more complex routes. I think a more I depth explanation will help in choice based on requirements

[@gatismarusens615]

[@Flunkz]

80watts is just like a powerful light

[@mrsoftbanana9197]

Oh I hope your joking

[@HoustonPillay]

@@mrsoftbanana9197 Nope... Else there would be a million different injectors to choose from.

[@oligi2002]

Take my situation for example: I line in Nigeria and I have good FTTH with about 100mbps with IPNX. If I do a steep test, I get an average of 2 - 8ms latency, which is good right? In reality, when I'm gaming online, the closet server is in the middle East for both Apex legends and COD. This increases my latency to 108ms minimum and 100ms on a very good day. The same is applied to alot of gamers that are limited by geographic locations because if I was to switch to starlink, my latency will reduce significantly to the lower 50s because of the lesser distance to the server. This is where starlink completely outshines any other form of Internet connectivity.

[@jamadi5048]

Are u on xbox or playstation ?

[@tylersalisbury872]

[@mattwhite995]

Seems there are def use cases for Starlink. Would be good if you could do a video on the race between FTTP and Starlink over the next 5 years. Openreach say 25mil properties will have access to FTTP by the end of 2026 (think that's about 80%). do you think FTTP will win out over the launch of 12000 satellites in that timescale? do you think latency will ever match FTTP (I get 3-5ms consistently on FTTP). also there's lots of talk about symmetric speeds but what are your thoughts on that, does it really matter or is asymmetric perfectly fine when its ultrafast speeds?

[@maximusg88]

I think 5g is a bigger competitor for starlink

[@Scrub.v1]

[@steveanderson1779]

Top review, but when your outside, you don't need the SL router, you can connect your laptop straight to the POE adapter.

[@markaz2kk]

just remember, the satlink is only in beta(18,000 at the moment upto 200,000+ of these satellites). go check out how its connecting people in total remote areas. its not going to be the beezkneez in its ability to get better internet, its rather than none or extremly slow. They are going to also have plans to also run in Teslas and also a paid service via a mobile option too... its still in the works...

I’ve got like five satellites visible at night surrounding my house

[@commanderoof4578]

Your not ment to be driving around it uses constructive and destructive waves to direct it to your dish And once more satellite’s go up the latency goes down depending on how far away you are from where you are sending and or receiving data from Its for fixed positional dish’s otherwise Tesla would use it for there own cars which they dont For moving vehicles they would need hundreds of thousands of satellite’s with multiple trying to send you the data, just remember its hundreds of miles away trying to send you data while moving a thousands of miles an hour along with you moving at random speed’s even a 1 meter offset of predicted placement could drop out the signal down

[@miguellopez3392]

The dishes are Mobile capable, the US airforce tested their system on a aircraft a couple months ago, it's more about regulation by the FCC that prevents it from being mobile for now, the dish is too large for a tesla, size is a limit right now.

[@johnmknox]

I didn't think it was meant to work away from your home location? Or was the outside area where you went to film quite close to where you live?

I would like to know this also. I don't expect 10ms ping but anything stable around 50-70 would be ideal for me.

[@T33K4Y]

you could get a 4g lte router, basically like your mobile phone's data you can get a sim card on a contract just for the router and get pretty good speeds (~100mbps down, ~15 up is what i usually get) with unlimited data. latency isn't the best but it's not too bad. the only issue i'm having with mine is that i have reset it often to not lag a lot when gaming online shooters and whatnot. general browsing and content consumption is brilliant though.

[@amgnico]

latency wise the copper should be way better than starlink. what about 4/5G?

[@Justin-yt8zv]

@@amgnico currently using 4g in an area of excellent signal... The speeds are great, the ping is ok but just not quite ideal for gaming. On uk servers mines fluctuates between 50-90, ok to gamr on if your desperate but ideally need something bit better.

[@malcolmblack717]

Excellent video and content Alex. This setup is suitable for the 5 million rural households and all the boat owners in the UK that currently do not have any fast broadband access and that can afford this. You should also mention that the download speeds you are getting is currently with only a few users on the system and that this will definitely change with more users vs more satellites going on-line. Best of luck on your KZbin channel.

@@chelseafootballc For 5G u need 5G antenas on your phone and for that u need latest phones. Also distance from the tower makes all the difference.

[@filipivan5125]

In London (the most dense city) u get up to 80mbps occasionally. Usually no problem to be around 40mbps. In small towns due to lack of signal towers and low bandwidth of 4G network u can be as low as 1mbps in some bad spots (when theres lot of hills around, something coastal towns suffer from). But in general UK's infrastructure is years behind EU. Just now they are working hard on upgrading the centuries old copper lines with fiber cables. Majority of UK is limited to 80mbps at home due to those copper lines....Only Virgin Media managed to push the copper up to 300mbps in some parts with combination of copper and fibre. Bigger cities do have gigabit available but only in some parts. Until recently there was only few choices for ISP provider (BT, VM, SKY, EE....). Now theres lot of gigabit companies popping up everywhere. *TLDR; UK is placed 21st in Mobile netwrok speeds and 47th in Broadband speeds on world ranking on Speedtest.*

[@NotHimJim]

I disagree with the last section. Lots of people with ADSL have latency of about 40ms and game fine.

[@BartKrap]

That is correct, the issue with starlink at the moment isn't the latency, it's the inconsistency of the connection. That's why it's bad for gaming.

[@itsapocs]

There are also ADSL connections on the slower side that, under idle conditions, have great latency, but in the case of multiple people sharing the connection at once, horrible jitter becomes evident due to bufferbloat. The fastest ADSL2+ connections will continue to work fine for the most part in casual web browsing. I definitely disagree with Alex's take on 5 Mbps at 10ms being better than 100 Mbps at 50 ms though. I had a 5 Mbps ADSL2+ connection with otherwise low latency until 2018, shared with 4-5 other people in the household and it was not a great experience at that point. 100 Mbps is going to fare far better in this case. Ultimately, jitter is what really matters when it comes to latency. High jitter will kill any real-time, interactive applications like VOIP or gaming very quickly.

[@BenderBendingRodriguezOFFICIAL]

The only people who should have access to this are people in rural areas, and this is coming from someone with a fiber connection. My only reason for this is because of network congestion combined with their limitation of having a single dish in any given space, meaning once you have one nobody on the block can order it. Most people don't have fiber to the home because it's limited and very very expensive. Your speeds would be in multiple gigabits assuming you have a 10 gigabit NIC, but my point is that your connection was or is fiber to the node/curb which is converted to copper before it reaches the pole on the top of your house. It's the same as my own and everyone else who hasn't had a direct fiber line installed, which you only do if you're looking for a connection with multiple gigabits.
