    Love your vids mate, no BS. Keep it up. As long as it does what you need it to do, who cares about the speeds. I get worse than 55 on my NBN because of the old infrastructure.

    Haha, good on ya mate.
    I just ordered one a few days back and it’s on the way. I also got the usbc to barrel cable so I can run off the power pack.
    A game changer for sure, specially being 12v and most of all compact.. I really wanted this so I can take on the quad bike camp trips I have coming up.

    Hey Buck! I've had the Starlink Mini since it first came out and it's great. The wifi signal is pretty strong so you shouldn't have much of an issue. You can get an ethernet cable for the mini and run it to a wifi router. I just ordered the 5m usb-c charging cable which ships in 2-4 weeks. I also have their roof-rack mount. As soon as I got the mini we did a week road trip up north in Washington state and it worked like a champ. -don

    Looking at the Starlink range and the Mini in particular. Since this video have you tested it in your van and if so what was it like? I know that you can run an ethernet cable into the van and connect to that (say, via your laptop's ethernet port or into a wifi access point but that means running lots of cables everywhere.
    I wonder too, if you do run a network cable into the van does the wifi on the Mini itself still work?

    55 means your download speed is 55 megabits per second. Starlink can often be a lot faster than that, but 55 is still pretty fast. Looks like you have an overcast day there, that will influence your speed.
