This 6 minute video took less then a minute to upload with the speeds I showed in the video!! Amazing.

We got Starlink Yesterday, got it set up, and while the position isn't ideal for the time being, because we don't have the mount to mount it, and there's trees in the way, that we have to wait to have cut down, there's huge obstructions, But We are getting much better Internet than with Windstream. Windstream was HORRIBLE!!! With Windstream We'd get around 10 to 15 Download speed, and between 0.40 and 0.90 Upload speed. With Starlink, even with the Obstructions we're getting around 120 for Download speeds, and around 5 to 6 for Upload Speeds. I've seen these speeds jump up quite a bit, and I LOVE IT!

We just got 4 inches of wet, heavy, sticky snow that the heater in the dish couldn’t keep up with. Put it into stow mode and brushed it off (gently). Working great again. Not ideal but easy enough to get my wife working from home again. They still get 5 stars from us!

Heavy raining or snowing will absolutely stop starlink from working. Like while it's falling. Thick airborne precipitation can and will interrupt the signal. I know this to be true. Because it is happening to me as I type these words. Usually it's awesome though. Takes HEAVY precip to temporarily stop it. It's not the snow on the dish. It's the scattering of the radio signal in the air.
@usuin9829Ай бұрын
This is also called attenuation of the signal from space due to raindrops, and snowfall.

All winter, the Starlink dish can consume up to 150 Watts of electricity, 24 hours a day. You will see the difference on your electricity bill

My experience is snow is no problem, although it does slow it down a bit. A real blizzard with a foot of snow and high winds can cause some quick interruptions. Possibly due to wind shaking the dish more than anything. When the snow drifts up over the edges and freezes it in place you have to shovel the snow away.

In my area we don’t typically see blizzard conditions regularly, but they do happen. I think starlink will only get better with time!

I LIVE IN COLORADO AND MY DISH RECEIVED ABOUT AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW LAST NIGHT. TOOK AWHILE THIS MORNING TO ACCESS THE SIGNAL. I USE SOLAR PANELS-GENERATOR BACK-UP, SO THUS THE DELAY ON MELTING THE SNOW FROM THE DISH. I DO NOT KEEP POWER TO THE MODEM WHEN NOT IN USE- THUS THE SNOW PROBLEM! CAN NOT BITCH- WHEN ITIS ON -IT IS GREAT... THANKS, JOHN.....CAN YOU MANUALLY REMOVE THE SNOW FROM THE DISH?
@joemartinez76302 жыл бұрын
I am not sure if you can sweep the snow off the dish. I see on the news Colorado received quite a bit of snow with this latest storm. I have the dish set to the default heat option. So I assume it’s using power even when not in use.

Does the Gen 2 dish detect if there is snow on it and turn the heating only then. Or is it heating as soon the tempeture drop
@joemartinez76302 жыл бұрын
Q. I live in an area with heavy rain, snow, or wind-can I still use Starlink? A. Your Starlink will detect and melt snow that falls directly on it, however accumulating snow around your Starlink may block the field of view. We recommend installing Starlink in a location that avoids snow build-up and other obstructions from blocking the field of view. Heavy rain or wind can also affect your satellite internet connection, potentially leading to slower speeds or a rare outage.
