Starlink Internet Service Review, Install and Test of System

[@BevinsBuilds]

Link to my Amazon page www.amazon.com/shop/bevinsbricks I do make a small commision on sales from these links.

Comes with 100 feet cable. If you have an old satellite dish mount from Dish Network, DirecTV, Bell TV, Shaw Direct TV, you can install the Starlink dish on a roof using the old satellite pole. Also, FYI, the dish rotates on the horizontal axis before it goes up/down while searching for satellite

[@Mapdotnowhere]

Stoked about the pre order and I think demand is underestimated judging by all the comments everywhere on multiple reviews

[@timothyweakly2496]

Got my $99 pre order in. Just waiting for the service. Says it will be available in mid to late 2021. Mid Missouri!

[@BevinsBuilds]

Congrats, I know they launch more satellites all the time so hopefully you get it sooner than you think.

[@83Yankee]

Same here in upstate SC. I’m beyond ready to get rid of ViaShat.

[@theeaglesend3963]

I'm a ready to get rid of Excede. Its the modern equivalent of dail up. They could give much better service for what is charged. Pre ordered my starlink so looking foward to decent internet speeds.

[@shuriken4852]

Great video, but a couple of corrections; the cable is 100ft long, not 50 and the speed test is in Megabits, not Megabytes. Also Elon said that by the end of the year, he expects to double the speeds and get the latency constantly under 20ms. 😀

[@nathanfender5747]

I pre-ordered it I’m super excited!

[@tedlahm5740]

Self adjust to find the satellite. Unbelievable. Good report.

[@BevinsBuilds]

Thanks

[@jwstolk]

The motors are only used to put the dish in an optimal orientation. it does not find a single specific satellite. Instead it tracks the satellites electronically using a phase-array antenna. As each satellite flies over every couple of minutes, you don't see the dish move since it's done by electronically steering the signal beam instead of physically moving anything. (Despite the curved plastic cover, the antenna is not curved and does not work like a traditional dish antenna.)

[@VNV67]

I agree ViaSat sucks in a lot of ways. Average ping times were 600ms plus. BTW you can also mount the Starlink on a vertical pole like the one you have for ViaSat or any pole. I am still waiting on my system to get here in Florida. SOON I HOPE.

[@thorakvideos2495]

That's fantastic! Now, I just has to make it's way to where I live :)

[@BevinsBuilds]

Hopefully it does soon for you.

[@tesla1.21gigawatts7]

Please more videos form starlink👌

[@rjhornsby]

34ms latency is quite good, excellent even, considering the medium.

[@josephd27]

Oh look, that building Daryl guy Is back. Sounds like it will be a good system

[@BevinsBuilds]

Lol

[@cesarango01]

Great! I live in Colombia. It will be here next year. Question. When you connected it, it was ready to go on your WiFi? Thank you.

[@stevepotts4273]

Good video - when did you place your order and how long did it take to get shipping notice?

[@BevinsBuilds]

I signed up for the beta in November 2020, but I got notified 3 weeks ago they had openings and I made my payment and recieved the hardware about a week after I payed.

[@stephenhiggins4689]

Good Job, nice easily explained video Don't live out in the sticks but looking for a better internet. Have Boost just because my phones are boost. Seems pretty slow, only $50 a month verses this at $99 But you get what you pay for UH? Will be checking into this. Thanks

[@BevinsBuilds]

Depending on where you live and how close you are to cell phone towers having a mobile hotspot is also a very good option.

Would it be wise to use at like a retail store to run a point of sale system in an area that isn’t serviced by traditional providers?

Absolutely it has proven to me to be a very dependable service.

[@johnfulcher559]

Can you hook up a phone like with Viasat? How many devices can you run of it? Can you check for a clear sky on your phone with a app before you buy Starlink?

[@BevinsBuilds]

You should be able to download the starlink app in the Play Store for free and click on the check for obstruction buttons once you open the program up

[@tedlahm5740]

Believe that says mega bits. not bytes. Sorry to say.

[@digitalalchemy6414]

Any chance you could plug your starlink into a kill-o-watt meter to see how much power it draws in general use? Its a 90w adapter, likely to power the motor for repositioning and the heater to keep ice/snow off the panels... but I'm wondering what the average typical use power draw is on these. I"m off grid solar... so 90w continuous would be about 2kw a day so I'm hoping its less than that. Just got my email to 'reserve' my service for sometime later this year but the power really is a big concern.

[@BevinsBuilds]

I will have to purchase one but yes. I will look into doing just that and even make videos on it. As I have seen people ask that same question in many locations.

[@JohnSmith-dd1bl]

8:08 that's mega-bit not mega-byte. so 144mbps is 18mb/s

[@slamdangles]

big B. Mb is megabit, MB is megabyte.

[@supergamer3186]

How long is the cable in meter?

[@timyarrow8844]

100 feet so about 30 meters

[@dennislyon5412]

Hey Daryl - what about that next snowstorm? Is the receiver - way up on that roof - self-cleaning?

[@BevinsBuilds]

Believe it or not yes it is it is heated I keep hoping for a snow storm so I can show how it melts anything that gets on it

[@dennislyon5412]

@@BevinsBuilds - last week was your chance, but you probably didn’t have it yet. Hopefully we’ll get another one (snowstorm). Looking forward to your reports. 👍🏽

[@BevinsBuilds]

Not sure if we will get anymore snow here or not. Gonna be 50s shockingly enough this weekend. But if we do I will male a video to show how well it works.

[@timyarrow8844]

Here in northern New England the dish melts snow just fine. We've had 2+ feet since our dish went up 3 weeks ago. We used our own tall-roof mount system because of typical snow-depths. Could not be more delighted by performance. Game-changer.

Well by saying deposit, your not accepted yet would be my guess. I waited about a month to be accepted and once accepted and paid for the satelite I got it about 8 days later.

@@BevinsBuilds Well I signed up for the beta last year, got a notification that service will be available in my area soon and they made be pay a $99 deposit and will charge me the remaining balance once the kit is shipped out.

I'm so sad. I was invited to get the beta program via email. As I was trying to set up the account my internet went out and i lost my slot....

[@BevinsBuilds]

Oh man Im sorry that sucks.

[@timyarrow8844]

No no. Keep re-applying. I think we missed a slot as well. I simply re-applied a few times and during one reapplication a day later the "application accepted" notice appeared and we immediately jumped with both feet. Done deal. Equipment arrived about two weeks later, installed the system and dropped Huhes Net like a rotten, stinking hot potato. Starlink is an absolute game changer.

Hello, I'm Shin Sung Hoon. Satellite Wi-Fi. I want to go there, too. I don't know what to do with the order.

Im not sure where all it is available yet. But the starlink website to find out is. www.starlink.com/

[@PhantomPanic]

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has promised that the company’s satellite-based internet service Starlink will see a huge boost to its speeds “later this year,” - encouraging news for anyone who’s put down a deposit on a Starlink beta kit after the company recently opened pre-orders to the public. Musk made the claim in a tweet, replying to a user who posted their internet speeds following initial setup of the dish and router, saying: “Speed will double to ~300Mb/s & latency will drop to ~20ms later this year.”

[@BevinsBuilds]

wow that will be totally amazing

[@jimmiexiong]

I live in the middle of a hustle & bustle city, my connection is still garbage. I’m fluent in current technology, been in the low voltage voice & data field for over two decades. The technology is good, it’s the connections the field technicians make that creates the crappy service. The technician that installed the cable from the main box to my house used a regular indoor coax cable? Yeah, I just went back inside and laughed. The in the know, knows any cable installed outside/ underground needs to be OSP. Out Side Plant. Osp cable has environmental protections, like from rain, dirt, even animals. It has special gel Protecting the copper pairs, & shielding to protect from lighting. I hope my kit has a shielded/OSP RJ45 cable, if not, I can just make my own. Cant wait to cancel my crappy internet provider.
