Thank you so much for watching my videos! - Наука та технологія
Im a starlink user and have been a month, and get 300+ and ping is 32ms, you need to wait a few days to settle down. and catch up with the firmware updates
When there are more satellites in lower orbits, and they have satellite to satellite links, the pings will be on par with, or surpass, those of wired or fibre connections. It's also worth noting that they're not thousands of miles away, they're in low earth orbit
Light travels slower in medium (optical fiber) than in vacuum. So eventually Starlink will in general have lower latency than fiber. However, Starlink's weakness is bandwidth whereas you can always lay more fiber cables to increase bandwidth.
You got to understand how this works, earth up to LEO (low earth orbit) satellite, back to earth relay station to you where ever you're going and back again. Currently there are no earth relay stations in the UK, nearest one is northern France. This all affects the latency. There will probably be multiple relays in the UK eventually and don't forget satellite to satellite communications via laser. Look at the wikipedia page for more info on altitude of the satellites, they are not that far up.
Insane video! Really wanted to check out the starlink thing 🔥🔥
i know Im kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released series online ?
I’ve owned Starlink for a couple of months now and it’s brilliant! Most of my neighbours have 1 download & 0.5 upload via a BT copper line which I ripped out my house the day I moved in.
We’ve been waiting for fibre to be installed for over 4 years now.
However I went from a 4G directional Ariel where the max download was 70 & 2 upload and now I’m getting similar speeds to in the video.
I live super rural so it’s worth every penny. Highly recommend it to anyone who lives rural
I love how honest Alex is in the reviews! I do miss the constant uploads!
With all do respect, you do not need this. A lot of us are still waiting who actually do.
@ 14:04 actually the distance to a starlink sat is about 280miles one way if course, this is why latency is alot less than a current sat services that are 10s of thousands of miles away at a geo orbit.
Great video btw 👍
this video is really funny considering his WISP plan is $ 89 / m for 60/60 and he's really shitting on 60ms ping
This was surprisingly informative, thanks for sharing your experience with this
Yes Alex! Please do more videos on testing Starlink. I’m doing my uni dissertation on orbit satellites vs fixed line broadband, so would be a great help for research purposes! 😁👍🏼
I know the latency isn't mind blowing but in comparison with old satellite internet that saw a ping of 200+ its definitely groundbreaking. ESPECIALLY as 4g latency is 60+ and that's from a mast a maximum of 10 miles away
Starlink is not meant to compete with cable internet. Its meant for people in remote areas that cant get cable.
Why is that so hard to understand lol
I think Alex is going to set up some sort of bonding with Starlink and his existing network. Probably to relieve a node and create redundancy.
You say that moving cars will never have this and you right using that thing. But if you have a satalite dish as a flat bed pointing in multiple directions, connecting to miltiple satalites at once then it becomes alot more likely
Starlink satellites orbit at 340 miles. Obviously, you won’t always be directly under the satellite, so the distance your data travels is longer than this As more satellites become active, you’ll be closer to being nearly underneath more of the time, so ping will decrease. I also expect that as Starlink opens more ground gateways, ping will improve.
@marzbarvlog, What service do you use to remotely access your office Mac from home?
Great video. What was the power strip that you bought for your car called?
Great vid. It's interesting to note that SpaceX was trialling a starlink connection on the latest Starship launch (SN15), downlinks to Tesla's may well be possible in the future
That’s amazing dude, loved the video 🚀
Alex starling is a blessing for people in the middle of nowhere who have had old school satellite internet. I agree, For city and suburban people it doesn’t make sense.
The important thing about starlink is its LONG DISTANCE latency. Ofcourse your fiber optic connection will be faster if you're pinging a server 1000km away, but if you try to ping somewhere across the planet your ping will go to 500
With starlink you will maintain under 100 ping across the planet.
Good point
It IS better than sliced bread. I get 1.5meg where I live. So Starlink is going to bring me into the 21st century.
Erm, even 56 baud modem is 21st century....
But yes, 1.5Mbps is pretty sad.
He's just trying to cover his internet business, because once starlink is out beta, he is out of business
Yep it's amazing for people in remote areas with no alternatives, but if you're in a city you're likely better with fibre. I just got FTTP - 300Mbps up AND down for £33/mo and
Starlink is eventually supposed to be able to be used while moving. This is because it is supposed to be supported on planes.
Him: Soo here’s the Rooooter !
😂
Great man! 😂 enjoyed that. Like you driving with it. Today, I did something crazy with my starlink router...... 😬
Great video. Like you said this is in beta. Space X has 3 more launches of Starlink to have 1500 satellites. There goal is 12,000 and Space X has requested permission for an additional 30,000. I think this has potential to be better than anything we have currently. Space X announced that a version for moving vehicles ( boats, planes, RV's, ect.) will be released soon.
A good point about the actual possible user cases for those living in non-urban settings. Most in the cities get higher speeds anyway with actual physical fibre cables (Hyperoptic) also my 5G get up to about 500Mbps.
I live in a rural area running off copper cables and get around 1mb/s down and 0.4mb/s up
On good days my ping can sit at 20-40 but can easily for several hours spike to 300+
I play mostly games on it and it's very Touch and go, I've heavily considered starlink but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
This video both makes me feel like it would improve as I wouldn't get these massive spikes that can last hours but it would still have a roughly 50% increase in latency. Would anyone happen to know what they would do in my situation if they could afford starlink would they get it?
What you said at 14:02 is incorrect. Starlink satellites are able to offer their advantage because of their extremely low orbit. They orbit at 550 km (340 miles) to be able to offer their high speeds and low latency compared to companies like HughesNet which orbit at ~39,000 km (24,000 miles). The disadvantage to this is that a lot more satellites are needed to cover the Earth's surface (much more expensive) while HughesNet only needs a single satellite. The ping will be fixed next year when SpaceX begins to launch their V2 satellites which will be equipped with light beam communicators. Because of how particles move in space, it will be even quicker than fiber optic cables on the ground. They just launched 10 test satellites in a polar orbit a couple months ago and the goal is to get the ping to ~10-15 ms with download speeds around 1 Gb/s.
I don't think anyone mean it by saying thousands of miles, but yup, technically it is less than a thousand miles up- and down- combined.

*DONT THINK ABOUT IT ... THEY DONT KNOW .. ABOUT THE STUFF..*
*(YOUNG PEOPLE ... THEY LEARN)*
How long did it take to arrive, and is it possible to use a mesh system with starlink?
150-200 mbs is insanely fast for normal internet?
Hey Alex, what’s the power inverter you use for your car?!
Had tried to fix worldspace satellite radio on my car 15 years back but no luck . Signal gets disconnected
The music sounds a lot brazilian like 🔥
Could you add this feed as a secondary WAN in your UDM Pro to provide a backup to your main ISP feed, possibly bonded to add its speed to what you already have?
Good Idea 💡
Yes its possible but UDMP doesn't yet support load balancing
assuming the black box acts as a POE unit, can the Starlink satellite be connected to an alternative router rather than that grey unit?
It actually can be used with a TP Link or Netgear knight hawk router downside is that you can your statistics using an off brand router than the one provided from Star Link
14:04 Starlink orbit height is 341 miles.
Made my day a new Marzbar vlog today’s gonna be a good day!
can you bypass the router and plug the dish straight into your computer?
You can't plug the dish directly in as it needs power from the PoE injector, but you don't need to use their router, you can use another one or plug the ethernet cable into a PC.
wounder if there is a way you could take the Geo lock-off??
They have one mounted on a Starship so I wonder how they're going to get it to work.
14:03 and also the sats are 340+ miles up but I get what you're saying
Thank you for this review. I was waiting for someone to focus on latency. Great video!
First off, fantastic video! I would be have really impressed with Starlink if it were not for the 5G speeds I get on my phone now (ave. 250 Mb/s, ping: 30ms) - also, I’m not convinced the number of additional satellites he’s going to throw into the upper atmosphere to make this reliable is such a great thing.
hows it work in bad weather ?
You're lucky, bro
My internet speed is 6Mb😂😂
And I am connected to the 4G network
True is so hard like in Brazil too some place have bad conection 😅😭😂
Satellite internet legal where you live?
I get like 900+ down and 500+ up with 2ms on Airtel fiber. But I will get starlink for my factory which doesn't have a fiber line nearby.
I'm in the market for a mesh system. Do your recommendations still hold from your older videos? If not, are you planning to do an update video?
The BT whole home mesh system AC1200 look on ebay they go for around £110 amazon sells em for double the price though but if ur got a better budget than the Google solution is great also Asus zenwifi but it's pricey
61ms is good for satellite internet granted using LEO. I get a latency of 600ms for Marine VSAT for a $8000 package.
For Moving you need a different Dish. These cost a little more then the 400 Pounds you paid for the Basic Version
in italy if you have fiber you can go up to 2.5gbs (25€/mo)
Can you get the same fibre in a remote village with 50 people in it?
You are completely missing the point of Starlink..
keep up the great work on all your content across all your channels
Hi Alex, love your vids, however i think you slightly missed the mark with this one. As far as i know the aim to to give reasonable speed, and reasonable ping across the globe. If you look at how much say the USA pays for its satellite internet, and compare the speeds and pricing, then starlink stacks up very well. Same goes for pretty much any country / location that doesn't have great infrastructure. It will one day transform the lives of people who live in remote villages where just 1 link, spread across the village will potentially bring "The Web" direct to them. I doubt it will ever compete with hard wired cabinet to house fibre, but pretty sure its not supposed to....
The satellite connection is NOT MEANT to replace fiber, you can't do comparisons between these two. It is meant to give some decent connectivity in the zones not reached by hardware infrastructures, where WAN, MAN and LANs are not available.
This is really Interesting in many areas of the UK the max speed you can get on an openreach line is about 60Mbps down on gfast obviously faster although gfast is crap if you're out of range which a lot of people will fall into and I would say is more of a tick box exercise by openreach where I live there isn't doxics 3 so I can only get fttc connection
Do you think the star link will get cheaper as it gets more advanced?
Me chilli’n at home with 500up 500down and 1 ms ping. UK fiber internet is wack if you compare it to Norway, here 100 mbps up and down is the lowest😂😂
Bulshit that's fibre
What borough do you live in and I can check if you can get that speed in that area
Nice test on the moving van ☺️
I've seen a review by a canadian living in the middle of nowhere and it was so much better than his lte antenna. Amazing tech.
Imagine Starlink broadband works in a moving vehicle near the future.
*NO NEED ... THE NORMAL "WIFI" WORKS ALSO IN "TRAINS"*
*...FOR "FREE" DONE MANY YEARS...*
*SO ..YOU ARE A BIT SLOW...*
Elon stated in not far future it will. Likely home on wheel will get it first.
Great vid. I had less than 8mbs down last week. Fibre has fixed it lol
Its gonna be 20ms in the end of the summer
I have had mine for a few months its decent loads of bugs but it will get better
My current internet was fine, except it had data caps. I switched to starlink solely for the data cap issue
pre ordered this mid march and am still awaiting availability in my area
@IswallowCum S its a "pre" order im well aware i have to wait
@IswallowCum S are u dumb, the whole point of starlink is to get Internet to places where they don't have those options!
I think, fiber optic cables are the best for transmitting data.
Starlink is mainly created for not city broadband its is for those who are in mountain area where fibre optic cable is not possible
Bravo Starlink !
Me that lives in morocco and almost always play on 60 ping be like: 👁️💧👄💧👁️
Hi Alex
Hope you weight the dish footing down due to hi wind's blowing dish away
Starlink will only get better....only around 1500 are in orbit out of a planned 12,000 so far. I think using it while on the move will be a reality.
They could make a version for cars etc as buses already have satellite internet and airplanes too
Alex it is meant to be getting unlocked soon for use anywhere and even on the move
MARZBAR KONSTANTIN SAID IN HIS LATEST VIDEO THAT HE WOULDNT MIND YOU DOING HIS GAMING SETUP OR SOMETHING MAYBE YOU COULD TURN THIS INTO A VIDEO? Just thought i would let you know mate
Maybe its worht it in a rural area... but not in if you live in a urban and populated city! I got 500mb in and out which is awesome, for 30 Euro per months i believe
0:04 "VODEO"
smh
For what it is I would say that it’s not too expensive
Starlink is not ment for people living in town. its made for people living in areas where internet connection ist really limited and or not available.
RN we have only a small net of starlink satellites which is increasing rapidly. With more sattelites there will be way greater latency. The satelites will communicate via lasers but like i said there a way too less in orbit rn.
well i live in a town and right now I got 8mps i need starlink and I'm willing to give up anything for it
Nice one Alex keep up the good work.
It is not 1000's of miles. Starlink's many small satellites orbit at about 340 miles above the Earth, while the satellites for HughesNet and Exede are up at 22,000 miles. So it takes much longer for a signal to get up to and back down from the older-model satellites.
Really really good that conection I would like to have but will be so expensive
While I'm out here struggling to hit 3mbs 😂
His passwords are like I pass tests at uni. Nice and secure with the absolute minimum requirement.
Hi Alex, will this be available in the Philippines?
Alex back with another banger! 🔥
I reserved one, I would like to take with me when I go in the zones without good internet connection or not at all ( Europe, Romania, Greece, Spain, etc.). I think it should work or change the assigned zone, like it is possible with too way(sky dsl) internet anntena.
@@ezicarus8216 I'm sure he has no idea how god the Internet in Romania is^^
I'd assume that the time it dropped out is where the starlink satellites had stopped passing over for a short period of time?
yes, it looked like a gap in the constellation. SpaceX is still working on filling all the gaps.
@@adamrak7560 thats what I thought too
“Heres da roota”
Hi Alex,
Some toughts about your video.
Starlink is still not working properly in UK/EU, as they as expanding the ground stations that feed the ground signal to the satellite constelation. Also, they were saying that moving vehicles are still in testing. As they expand the satellite constellation and ground stations, ping and velocity will be even better.. (US is getting 300mps and 20/30 ping with an update). Also, Geofencing is improving every update.
Check Starlink's Reddit for more things! Hope it helps!
Regards from Portugal
Starship SN 15 has starlink en it's works spacex is working on it for moving cars boots en other stof
I did a speed test at my home and some how my download speed was like 20mbps slower than my upload speed
Very interesting mate enjoyed this one
I'm no expert but I think starlink is more useful if you live somewhere without access to Internet but isn't a good replacement for normal Internet
Just found your channel and I dig it. Subbed
Actually the lag Will improve. Once the laser links between satellites is up and working, UK should see shorter lag time. That said it isn't meant to compete with cable in large towns and cities which are already well served by cable. Its for small towns in the sticks and mountains in the Himalayas, ships at sea, aircraft.
In a few years once their production costs on the dish will come down quite a bit and the laser interconnects eliminate much of the hand-off costs to other providers, should make it cheaper in addition to the lower latency.
In the last couple of weeks he launched another 120 Starlink satellites... They will take a few weeks for their ion thrusters to move them into their proper orbits, and they start functioning properly. That will make something like 1550 working Starlink satellites out of a planed 30,000(!!!)... Regular satellite internet uses satellites in a ~22,200 mile orbit and so have a horrible latency.
Starlink has much lower latency because they are MUCH lower, which means they move in the sky... The motor is not to track the satellites but for initial aiming... There is a phases array antenna inside of the case that actually tracks the satellites.
The orbits that are currently planed are:
First shell: 1,440 in a 550 km (340 mi) altitude shell at 53.0° inclination
Second shell: 1,440 in a 540 km (340 mi) shell at 53.2° inclination
Third shell: 720 in a 570 km (350 mi) shell at 70° inclination
Fourth shell: 336 in a 560 km (350 mi) shell at 97.6°
Fifth shell: 172 satellites in a 560 km (350 mi) shell at 97.6°
This will give almost complete global coverage. Where there are no ground stations within range, the satellites will relay the signal to another that is in range with a laser system. That means that the latency will increase when you are in the middle of nowhere(as in hundreds of miles from the nearest ground station), but this will not effect most users.
5:08 yes please I want to learn more about internet
Good advice at the start about whether you actually need it or not. I’m getting good service from my current isp, so couldn’t justify the extra cost of Starlink over what I’m paying already as the benefits don’t outweigh the extra £££. Yet anyway.
I think the pings will get better. This is when the earth looks like Jupiter with a ring of Starlink satellites....lol!
So what happens when it's a storm and there's a gale blowing over the dish on your roof... better bolt that thing down!
