They emailed me the other day. I didn't realize that it was able to order and I clicked on the link. I figured that I would complete the purchase when I got home as I was in a really poor service area. I realized once I got home that the purchase must be made within 15 minutes of opening the link. I was annoyed that the information was at the bottom of the email which I couldn't see unless I scrolled down but I had already clicked the link in the upper part of the email. Persistence paid off and I checked availability in my area at least a dozen times that evening and it finally let me order.

Starlink isn't 5g, it uses a 10ghz range band known as "5b", 5g is a much shorter range and used for cell phones

[@LaidBackLiving]

My apologies. I was wrong.

[@el9551]

Actually 5g doesnt have anything to do with frequency, it can be on sub 6 ghz to mm wave, it can also be used for fixed home broadband (5G FWA) or industrial, hence not only cell phone.

[@joemoment-o1275]

*Actually*

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@el9551 For the highest speeds, it requires using the highest frequency band. There are low(about the same as traditional 3g,4g frequency bands), mid(seems a bit higher than highest of previous versions) and high frequency bands(new band). The highest frequency band is well over 10GHz. True it's not just for phones, but the same thing is already done with 4g and 3g. 5G FWA doesn't seem to be any different other than the gear installed at the fixed location, and still seems to be relatively short range for high frequency/high speed.

I live in a rural town in New England. A few years ago I noticed houses going on the market and they would not sell. Some were beautiful custom homes with beautiful property. I spoke to someone at our townhall and they said it was lack of internet. You could not give your home away. People were walking away from very nice homes. People would not rent them either..I was fortunate and had DSL. Only a few houses had DSL. Two years ago our town worked a deal with a small provider and we now have high speed internet. It has completely changed everything. My home price has increased by at least 70 grand and homes sell in days. All the abandoned homes have been purchased and fixed up. Trying to sell a home without high speed internet is like trying to sell a house without electricity. I am happy to see you resolved your issue. Take care

Small correction. Starlink is not 5G. It has nothing to do with 5G. Its just normal Wifi.5G only matters for dense cities.

[@Daltonleach11]

Yes to the 5G, but it has nothing to do with Wi-Fi. That's the short distance 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz signal your phone, laptop, "insert applicable device here" uses. I don't know the exact frequency the satellites from starling use, but typical internet satellite, and many other satellite communications such as in my state highway patrolman use them for their satellite radios, fall somewhere into the very broad range of the Ku or Ka bands. 12G hz up to 40 Ghz.

[@the-papaw]

So what happens to speeds when each satellite reaches max users? Will speeds drop as the bandwidth is split between users? I see this being like cell carriers when they got into providing internet data. Eventually the servers (cell towers/satellites) will fill to capacity and data will be split. Cell data was 100% unlimited in the beginning as well, then data caps appeared, then what they called unlimited (but prioritized after certain limits reach, etc..). How many satellites can be deployed before other issues arise, like THE SUN??? I see no one asking these type of questions. Thx for the video.

What’s unique about Starlink is it’s a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation that’s at ~340 miles above the Earth’s surface rather than a Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite that’s at ~22,500 miles above the Earth’s surface, so your data packets only have to travel 1.5% the distance.

@@LaidBackLiving thanks. That is a bit disappointing, but I guess still better than no internet at all.

[@kayleighdrouin6378]

Just signed up for beta 😍😍😍😍 we get like 2mbps right now. Cant wait

[@delwell2_yt455]

Do you know if it’s good for ps4 gaming

[@daniel_960_]

Yes. But the occasional drop outs could be annoying. But that’s only for now, in a year or so won’t happen anymore.

@@daniel_960_ ok so if I was playing Fortnite would it just kick me out of the game

[@daniel_960_]

@@delwell2_yt455 depends. With only 10s out probably not. You’ll just freeze for that time

Is it good with gaming? Console

[@Eye02]

once this is developed more, the latency will get lower in a lot of areas so yes it is better than dsl or any slower connections for gaming. Its in beta phase so like he says in the video it may drop the connection for about 10 seconds and then come back on which is not good for gaming but otherwise this is a soluble solution for rural areas and gaming. I live in a somewhat rural area and our cable company stopped supporting our area so the best we can get now is dsl, so I will be ordering starlink as soon as I can. If you have a fiber or cable company that's in your area and reliable those will be better for now

[@Vigilant_Guardian]

I pay 200.00 month and only have 25mb.verizon. so glad your liking your starlink,, see ya next time,

[@takeit6530]

Sounds better then cable…. I’m always skeptical of glowing 100% perfect reviews, which dominate KZbin.

[@CognizantPotato]

Ordered mine today!

[@MarkLatimerRussell]

By the end of the year this will probably be downtime free so this is pretty much a game changer.

[@FranklySpeaking73]

Thanks for the video. No reason to have it up that high. plus the instability of the pole in windy conditions will not help the dish any at all. Put it on top of a stable building instead. Just some ideas to help you make it more robust.

[@jade_ugc_creator]

With all the trees i heard the only option we have is to put it on a huge pole? Help me out! We definitely can’t put it on our roof, I feel we still won’t get good connections that way! What do you recommend?

[@equinoxonline]

Awesome! This is what this was meant for. But your facts on speed and usage are off. This is not broadband. And definitely not "5G" but the fact you have internet at all is incredible. Pair that to a cell transmitter and you will be set!

[@raywesolowski4258]

No need for the pole. You can have it on the ground just make sure you have a clear line of sight in the direction it needs to point.

[@onlyoneofhiskind]

He might need it because of the mountain slope we can see in background.
