I have a Gen 2 and Gen 1 load sharing on a common network. They both perform the same when tested together at the same time.

[@michaelholliday100]

The flaw in his testing is that he did NOT do the tests simultaneously. You can have 3 Starlink dishes beside each other, and they each could be connected to a different satellite, and each satellite can be a different generation and have a different throughput....

[@jermwerty]

Gen 1 & Gen 2 never see above 400mbps, while Gen3 has multiple examples of people posting >400mbps speed test. This video is somewhat invalid because he didn't test peak speeds @ 3AM to compare raw hardware capabilities. Any individual dishy will test completely different second-to-second/moment-to-moment so you need repeated tests back to back over a large time period to really get averages, and then you are still testing the average capacity in your own starlink cell not dishy itsself!

[@TheMarine664]

Interesting, We have a gen 2 dish in Australia. Speeds can easily reach 380mbps down and 20-30up. Had it since the start of last year, speeds were 200-300 normally and peak 330ish. But last few months speeds are consistently higher. Might suggest increased network capacity.

[@AM-dn4lk]

Thank you for this video. I like the higher upload speed of the Gen3. 100Mbps+ download is good enough for many families.

You are absolutely correct. I can run over 20 devices simultaneously, including an online game server, on 150mbps speeds with ZERO issues.

[@charlieodom9107]

@IroonieLA I have noticed zero difference in latency between Starlink and several other ISPs in general. The only thing I have noticed is a lower latency when connecting to UK or farther servers from the USA. When I play Space Engineers, I can play more servers farther away from me most times with lower latency.

I have gen 1 round dish, in rural Maine. Wondering if gen 3 worth an upgrade regarding internet calling. My service typically drops calls after 3-10 minutes. Good comparison.

[@StarlinkHardware]

Are you seeing those drops in the app in the statistics menu? I would check for obstructions in the app as well. Could be something unrelated. Could be worth it to upgrade just due to the router alone. It would improve your Wi-Fi speeds and range which could also be the cause.

I have a generation 1 dish, just did a speed test about a half hour ago, speed was 203 Mbps down and 38 Mbps up. I live in Eastern Canada. Also I have been told the dishes should be running at least 12 hours to acclimate to the satellites for best speeds.

[@StarlinkHardware]

Good performance, especially the upload! The previous 12 hour recommendation was because the obstruction map took about 12 hours to generate. Now it generates in real time. But as long as the mounting location is obstruction free (I knew it was) the connection is optimal about 15 minutes from the initial boot up.

[@X5493-c7p]

I have a gen 1 and it rarely drops below 100 download and the upload is usually in the mid 10s which is adequate for my current usage. It’ll be interesting to re-run the tests when SpaceX gets their Starship in service deploying their latest Starlink satellites. I suspect the gap in performance might be more noticeable with improved satellite technology.

[@iWinnipeg]

Same here. Back in the beta days, we'd see speeds of over 500 down and 75 up. The hardware is capable, but it's being crippled for some reason. Edit: just did a quick test. 157.83 down while someone was watching netflix. Have to call bs on the gen 1 results.

Have you tried the Enterprise version? Do you think the Enterprise Kit's increased "HP" power supply with the Gen 3 dish would be comparable (or better) than the High Performance models that have "better attennas" with wider FOV?

[@StarlinkHardware]

I haven’t tried it and won’t since it’s the same dish, just an external power supply. I would guess you could see small improvements in performance with more power, but mainly in rain/snow. Not worth the extra cost IMO.

[@Ranger-Al]

Just received my Starlink Standard kit with a wall mount to install on our roof peak facia. The Standard to Standard actuator kit hasn’t arrived yet.

[@StarlinkHardware]

Yes, my town has several thousand people and it's a lot of farmland. Starlink should work fine with online gaming. The biggest issue isn't speeds, it's latency and packet loss. I don't play FPS but I've done other fast paced online gaming like Rocket League and sim racing (iRacing) which both require reliability and low packet loss to work properly.

[@draytx183]

[@webluke]

I was wondering how well Gen 1 still worked. My Gen 1 regularly got over 150Mbps in Western Colorado. But I now have had 1Gbps fiber for over a year and a half, so my Gen 1 has been unpowered up on the roof for that time.

[@StreamingNomad]

To me the important thing is latencies - did you capture those in your tests?

[@johneverett3947]

I live in the mountains of northern California, where at times we get heavy snow. I’ve had a gen 2 for a couple years and it works awfully well. The only fault I can find is the heater in the antenna can only handle up to 4 cm an hour of snow. if it can’t keep up with the snow, and or there’s too much snow in the air. The dish will lose signal and go into search mode. If it can’t locate a signal, then it defaults into park mode. Park mode places the antenna horizontally which only add to snow load on the antenna. I wish the program would default to a vertical park mode when it lost the signal and then periodically go back to search mode. That would help keep the antenna, free of snow, and allow it to begin working again on its own. Otherwise I have to brush off the antenna with a long poled broom. Beyond that, it works fairly flawlessly.

[@CARMONA61904]

Have you tried using the Gen 2 dish with the Gen 3 router and would that make a difference?

[@DanHeming]

Putting the Gen 3 router with the Gen 2 dish really isn't a great solution as you still need the Gen 2 router for power, you need the ethernet adapter and then you add in the Gen 3 router. At that point you could add in any 3rd party Wi-Fi 6 router. The Gen 3 router having Wi-Fi 6 might get you some more range from the router, but it's not going to increase your speeds from the dish to the satellite.

[@debandpete]

Nice video! Have you considered adding results for the new "mini"?

[@neuro82h]

My best measurement so far is 450/45 with gen3 (Hungary). But it is between 200 and 300 Mbps mostly, which is still plenty.

[@AlpineTheHusky]

[@neuro82h]

@@AlpineTheHusky Yeah, that is pretty bad. I can relate, because my previous connection was even worse than that in a rural area of Hungary. My only other option was Starlink, which is a salvation.

[@philipgrice1026]

What is missing is the mixing of routers and antennae. We still use our Dishy McFlatface G1 antenna but have it connected via the G3 router. Here in a town in rural Oregon we see better performance that that achieved with your G1 antenna. In fact, it's better than you report with your newest configuration. The antennae appear not to be the limiting factor. It's the routers. So, how about a retest using Dishy McFlatface and your G3 router?

[@StarlinkHardware]

Routers would affect the Wifi performance, i.e transfer speeds on the local network, and the internet speed over Wifi from the router to devices. However, for this test, I didn't test over Wifi. All testing was done from the "Advanced Speed Test" which runs a speed test on the router itself. There really isn't any different in throughput or performance going from the Starlink dish to the router in any generation, so Wifi speed/range/etc. was not a factor in this test. As mentioned in the conclusion, your physical location on Earth and time of day has a much bigger impact on overall speed than anything else.

[@dalepellerin]

I'm really hoping my obstructions will improve. I recently bought the gen 3 and I've tried placing it on numerous locations at my cabin. I ignorantly assumed I would be able to point it to the South (why should it matter I thought) as I have a huge amount of sky view to the south, southeast and southwest. The problem: the cabin is built into the side of a mountain and the cabin sits on the south side of the mountain. What I failed to realize is that Starlink must be pointed mainly in northern directions and thus, half of my sky view is obstructed. I still get amazing speeds, 200+ down and 15+ up but I'm disconnected every minute. While streaming can compensate for this with little noticeable effect, web based conference calls such as zoom and teams are nearly impossible. During a 30 minute call, I will be disconnected on average 20+ times. I've ordered the ridgeline roof mount to get the dish higher on top of the cabin and that will give me a little bit more angle but I'll still have a mountain of solid rock on my North. Should I expect my connections to improve with Starlink auto-calibrating to the number of obstructions or is that simply a pipe dream and I should return it?

[@StarlinkHardware]

Performance could improve slightly, but the problem is much of the southern sky (if you live north of the equator) is off limits to prevent interference with Clarke Belt satellite systems. So dishy has to rely on its view to the north. Higher and/or farther away are how you fix obstructions. Plenty of people are forced to install 30-40 ft towers to avoid trees, but I’m not sure about a mountain. Might have to return it if you don’t have some kind of fallback internet, like 5G cellular, for work calls.

[@arispoli1269]

I’m in same boat. Unobstructed southern view and mountains to north. Disconnects every couple of minutes. Fine for streaming. No go for zoom calls. Will the eventual increase in satellites or obstruction compensation improve my situation over time?

[@dalepellerin]

I ended up having to return mine. I spoke with a really great support person from Starlink and after they reviewed my obstruction map, they suggested that it likely will never work in that location due to the northern obstruction. They weren’t too hopeful that future satellites in lower orbits would fix it.

[@flightcub]

I am thinking about purchasing a Gen 2 used. Can I do this with a new plan and use on our property in our 5th wheel trailer? Would you recommend a used system and do they still support Gen 2? Thanks.

[@StarlinkHardware]

Yes, you could use a used dish with a new plan. With the newest dish at just $349, it would have to be a pretty good deal on a used Gen 2 for me to recommend it. Gen 2 is still supported as far as replacement cables, routers, and accessories.

I’ve looked into this before, but couldn’t come up with a good solution that didn’t involve some business grade network components. I can do some more research to see if things have changed since I last looked a few years ago. It would be interesting to see 600 Mbps from Starlink!

[@ramosel]

@@StarlinkHardware Have you looked at running pfSense... either on an old PC or one of their appliances? As I mentioned in the other comment, I was an early tester and have always run through a NetGate/pfSense appliance.

Early morning tests were regularly at or over 400Mbs down.

What about stability though? It's not all about speed. I've noticed far more stability after moving from gen 2 to gen 3, which makes sense due to the increased field of view.

So I just got the $299 special Standard (kick stand) Gen 3 and I'm now looking at mounts. My main use will be communications while camping in areas with out cell coverage and we do not Stream movies or shows... Email, Wifi calling and the occasional look up on the internet for information. We went with the 50gb plan as we only needed the roam for a few days out camping. Our first trip is going to the Smokey Mountains new Gatlinburg Tn an there are no service like cell at all. I thought it would idea, but I'm concerned about trees of course. Usually RV sites are pretty clear above the RV parking area. I've seen folks saying that flat mount on the rv may be better than the kickstand that comes with it. This not for in motion but at the campsite. (not trying to get above the 100 +ft trees but more optimal position for the campsite. I bought the Standard dish vs the mini.. I figure more surface area of the Standard would help out. I've thought a tripod type mount with an adjustable pipe mount. Would love to get feed back from those have tried flat mounts vs angle mount in a camping situation.

[@bobbrown8661]

When I had Gen 2 dish with service I found the run to run variations so wild with each speed test, 50-450mbits apart within minutes. Speed varies so wildly I dont even bother testing as it wont hold a consistent speed, more concerned about a stable connection.

Well, I have the gen 2 actuated and was thinking seriously of diisabling the motors. Now the gen 3 has no motors and I think it is cheaper too. I want to mount the dish in a 130 foot tree and not have it reset its direction. So the gen 3 is looking good to me.

It's also more difficult from a practical perspective, having 4 mobile devices handy to run the Starlink app. Never considered the rain test, but I can tell you the dishes with the beefier power supplies would most likely win on that one.

Here is why I am stating this, at any moment I can do a speed test and the speed can vary greatly as the dish uses different satellites that come in and out of range. There are still many satellites of different generations which will vary greatly in speed. For example, I just did four Speed tests, 1. 168 down, 16 up, 31 ping - 2. 131 down, 25 up, 39 ping - 3. 137 down, 18 up, 36 ping, 4. 134 down, 29 up, 29 ping. Ten minutes from now depending on which satellite that I connect to my download speed could up or down 40 to 50 points and my ping could very greatly. I absolutely love Starling, but because it is a satellite signal you cannot you cannot run one test after the other and expect to get comparable numbers.

I interviewed Starlink dishes in the video lol. I thought it was pretty clear this was more for the entertainment value, not so much a controlled scientific test. In the end I basically explain what you just said. There are so many variables outside of which hardware model you have, that it makes every Starlink generation pretty much equal at the end of the day.

@@StarlinkHardware I understand that it is for entertainment. But many individuals don't even let that register in their brains. It still would not be scientific if they were run simultaneously, but it would have given a much better overall perspective..

Anything over 200 Mbps is solid.

Can you bypass them and put WiFi 6 gaming routers?

[@jackwhitlock1]

Yes

[@pangerancinta3500]

Saya pakai Gen 2.

[@116thcrazy]

I believe you should have included latency in this test.

[@bobeasy9554]

Price of each dish would be helpful.

[@StarlinkHardware]

Standard dishes are generally $599 and the High Performance is $2500. Depends on your specific country though. Gen 3 and HP are really the only ones being sold today in most markets, Gen 2 Standard Actuated is being phased out.

Gen2 Jamaica .... Starlink has seen a significant decline in speed ...

Greg from Twitter? 😂

Where is mini

[@StarlinkHardware]

It wasn’t out yet when I did this video, but I did do a review with speed tests: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHLMhJVqmdaYfJI

Considering the price comparison, HP is not a winner
