Will Starlink Fix my internet issues? - 3 MUST KNOW tips before ordering

[@judehetherington8319]

Hey there have you procured another conversion/travel plug yet? Looking forward to more vids now that your upload speed will be way above McDonald’s mbps. 😉

[@helenwheels4444]

@@judehetherington8319 I did get another plug, so I now have multiple conversion plugs for both My PowerPoints which is a relief. Yes I hope the speeds are better. I’ll be pretty grumpy if they aren’t.

[@MarcEnglaro]

So cool, but I have more questions! How fast is it? Is it better speeds than cellular? Will it be cheaper than paying top-up on the e-SIM data? Can you use it when it rains?

[@helenwheels4444]

@@MarcEnglaro great questions. Thanks for asking. I will test it for a couple of weeks and make a video to answer those. Please reach out if you think of anything else you want me to check out.

Good one. I looked at them for my motorhome, but travelling around gets more expensive. Little internet dongle it is.

[@helenwheels4444]

@@AFFMotorsport yes, in Australia hotspotting off my phone would suffice. It’s a shame it’s so complicated

Be careful Helen. I saw a movie once, where a bunch of people found a StarLink and it opened up a portal to an alien world !……No…, wait…..that was StarGATE…sorry…Hope the tech solves your problems for you..looks like it will…

[@helenwheels4444]

@@GraemeCorbett hahaha. I saw that too! My favourite bit was always when the scientist sees the brand new alien tech and says “if it works the way I think it does” and then rewires it to jump start a space ship or something. I don’t mind if European travel turns into inner space travel… wait Inner Space was another movie….

@@justinalyons5691 haha. That would be a hell of a starlink review wouldn’t it!

Not the mini?

[@helenwheels4444]

Hi! Thanks for commenting. No not the mini. If I remember correctly the mini was for infrequent use with lower speeds and data. More suited I think if you were going hiking or off on a camping trip every now and then. Because I’m travelling full time at the moment and using a lot of data I felt I had to step up to the one I got.

Not Starlinks fault. They supplied correct plug for correct country. Not a big deal neither, go to a local supermarket or IT shop. You will one easily.

[@helenwheels4444]

@@eddiestephen4353 yes you are right. My point is to just be conscious that you ask for what you need. In this case they provided plug for delivery street address although in this case their error was delivery address was Australia country but UK street and I got UK plug matching street not country. But neither of those suited my van, and I didn’t specify that at all. So error on both sides. But a good thing to be conscious of if you order.

Don't you guy's have LTE/5G unlimited Internet sim cards in the UK...? Here in my country I use my unlimited mobile Internet everywhere for around 17€/month... definitely much more cheaper than the "genius" extortion business model rates on his "space net"...! I'm now only waiting for the 5G internet routers to become cheaper and I'll have a much faster connection than the 40Mb/s I have now on 4G/LTE... Starlink is not for me... I'll never give my money to the libertarian egomaniac...!

[@helenwheels4444]

@@TheBigChill1 sadly I can’t buy a SIM card like you suggest. I need proof of address and because I live in Australia I can’t get one in UK. Which is why the e sim was a good idea. The second problem is I’m travelling, so every time I cross a border I would need a new sim. And in Europe that could happen more than once a day! A Europe wide e sim solves that problem but it still changes providers each time I cross a border. And different providers have different levels of service. It was much more complicated that I thought. So I think this is my only solution
