You're wired connection was much better than mine! Was only getting 3 mbps down and 0.6 up here in Maine. Just got Gen 2 Starlink up and I'm averaging around 200 mbps down and 16 mbps up. Feels nice to be in the 21st century finally!
I understand. I took us years (and thousands) of country living to settle on an overpriced WISP with spotty service. A lot of folks have commented the same. I'm really grateful we now have the option to use Starlink. It's been incredible so far!
We live in remote rural Idaho. Starlink is the best thing to happen to us in a long time. I can now use DropBox like a hard drive for reports in progress. There are a few minor dropouts, but nothing compared to the super slow internet speeds of our land-line. No drop in speed when school lets out, which used to be the bane of my business life.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. There are a lot of folks that don't live in the country and they will never understand the struggle. This really is a game changing tech for us and I honestly never thought I'd see the day we could get decent internet. We are really grateful!
We are also at the corner of No and Where, Idaho. Just got rid of Rise Broadband and installed Starlink on Saturday. We all love it. Been playing with it for about a month now, but finally got it up where it needed to be happy.
We are in very remote eastern Washington, and are suffering from HughesNet slowness. My question is, we are in dense trees and it took forever to get a very small window. Would Starlink work? We do have a bit of a open yard and we are wondering if it uses just one satellite or multiple?
I've had Starlink for just over a month. Previous cable internet was pulling 2-3 down and 0.1 up. Starlink speeds fluctuate, but I'm typically getting at least 100 down and 20 up. Ran a speed test yesterday and had 635 down 469 up. So it definitely varies from amazing to still far better than anything else I have access to. Rural Louisiana here.
Thanks for showing us your new Starlink setup! We are so excited for you! Also, thank you for taking the time to set up all your camera positions when you are showing us what you do. We know it takes you ten times (at least) longer to do your job. We really appreciate it! Also, thank you for the extra work you do in all your editing of your videos! We feel like we are part of your family! Take care and may God OVERWHELM you with blessings!
This is one of kindest comments we've ever received! It means the world to us thank you. It really does take a lot of planning and effort to make these videos, but we love the process and folks like you are exactly what motivates us to do better! God bless!
LOL....We are God....and so we can overwhelm ourselves with Blessings.....2022 and people still thinking God is a male.....in a white robe....with a gray beard....sitting on a throne in the sky somewhere....watch and listening to 7 Billion people all at once....while billions of dead people sit in front of HIM singing songs for all eternity......BORING......anyway....I'm serious and just having run with ya.....don't get all twisted up in your panties! Peace.....
Hey folks, I just got my Starlink package today!! Thanks for uploading this. You may be teck savvy, but I'm not. So I appreciate it when good folks like you upload your expertise for us baby boomers.
I mounted my Starlink Dishy on a 60 foot steel pole with mechanical lift for access/ serving, I get 100 to 200 meg download consistantly over the past year, recently installed the same type pole in my neighbor's area, we live in S. Oregon deep wooded area with 100 ft trees around use.
Thanks for your comment. Can you please share the pole that you purchased and how much was it. Just received my order confirmation today and should be getting it in 2 weeks and looking for the best way to mount it. Link for the 60-foot pole and price will be great. Thanks again
I live in Northern Ontario, Canada. Way way up north, our regular service here gives us about 1MB/s speeds for our whole home it’s a nightmare to do anything, but Starlink has just unrolled for us about 4 months ago and I’ve heard nothing but good things. We ordered ours and we’re kind of upset about the wait but we’re getting the second gen dish now, it should be here anyway. Can’t wait to have it. Average speeds here are 100-300mb/s, best tech to have been released for hard service areas. Thanks for the upload.
Always do a reboot from within the Starlink App on the wifi and the router once a day. That will dramatically help with speeds... Also put the dish into stow mode and then hit un stow once a day and that will also force to dish to find a more preferred satellite which helps the speeds big time. I am in a waitlist area with the RV version and my speeds are always up near 70-100Mb download. Get 2-3 mesh units as well.... Huge difference !! AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the info. I would be careful following this advice. If you have to reboot and or stow this once a day you'd be significantly reducing the life of the product. This should not be required if installed in a good obstruction free location. I haven't rebooted mine once and my speeds stay great.
We live in a remote area of Florida (near Alabama) with no fibre, cable, or landline internet service. Like you, I have satellite internet from a company that claims it provides "high speed" internet, but their definition of high speed and mine are completely different. Have had this same, awful, service for about 2 years. I just got my Starlink 4 days ago. First speed test..... 183 mbps ! ! ! ! It has NOT disappointed.
I lived on an ocean front property years ago and had to get an ISDN circuit with a microwave antenna setup. Got 1.5 down and 0.3 up for $285/mo. I’m on fiber now and routinely get 150-225 down and 10-20 up for $70/mo.
wow. the most simple set up ive ever seen. they have made it simple and easy enough that anyone in the world can have it ready in minutes. easy access to wifi and information to a small village in the middle of Africa, and great, fast internet access for someone like myself who lives in the foothills of the appalachian mountains and it can be hard to find a good provider sometimes
They really did a great job! Engineering excellence. Except for maybe the lack of of an ethernet port. It's super simple and it just works. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment here.
Problem is with the packages... anyone in Africa, Asia will not able to afford it with current prices.... In Asia we are used to pay like max $15 per month for 16Mbs+ packages .... and Starlink packages start from $99
Northern Ontario here. Have had Starlink for 2 or 3 weeks. It is so much better than I expected. I've only noticed one outage so far, and it lasted for about 5-10 mins. The rest have been few-second dropouts overnight.
Had Hughes, certain times of day 56k dial-up would have been faster. They just kept telling me "we're launching a new 🛰 soon". Signed up for Starlink the day they opened for sales. Finally got it this month and are amazed. Consistently 150+Meg. Hopefully Hughes will pay for the over sold, under performance, stranglehold they had on rural folks.
We have HughesNet as well. A daily exercise in frustration. Horrible and expensive. We are going to try Starlink. It’s the same monthly fee and if we can actually get useable internet, it’d be well worth it
@@scottdesart275 when you cancel with Hughes net they will hit you with a $325 early cancellation fee. Ask me how I know. Going through it right now with my cc company and BBB complaint now. This company should be burned to the ground!
Just mounting base on my deck & drilled throught " header joist" and threaded cable. Will hook up inside parts on Saturday 👍👍👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾 looking great for us Rural Folks.. 🐂🐂🐂
I can only tether off of a Verizon cell phone. I get under 2 Mb down and under 1 Mb up. It has never been faster than that. Just got my kit today, haven't unboxed it yet, just got out of work. Everyone I've seen with bad connections has been exponentially faster than my connection, so I'm rather excited!!! We got this mostly to facilitate running live fb video on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings, so upload speed is actually more important to me than download speeds. I was surprised to see the upload speed such a low rate compared to the download speed, but even if we got 6 Mb upload consistently, I'd be very, very happy!!!
That's great news! Hope it works well for you. Our upload averages around 10 up. Would love it to be faster there but honestly it's still makes a big difference for us!
Here's our video on the Ethernet Adapter: ua-cam.com/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/v-deo.html For a live test during a storm check out our video:ua-cam.com/video/qbnhxy8MVJ4/v-deo.html Power Consumption: From Starlink Support: Rectangular dish power specs: 100-240VAC 50/60Hz, 50-80W Average, 95W peak(higher in snow mode) up to 300W max. Current Cost: $599/kit $110/month.
Good Bye to my ATT pre-paid 4G router. Just ordered my StarLink yesterday. Will be ordering the ethernet connector. Thank you for pointing that out. Can't wait to bring high speed Internet to the gators:-)
After 18 months my kit arrives tomorrow! This video was very helpful - can't wait to ditch our 13mbps (on a very good day) DSL. I'd be ecstatic with 40mbps, but it appears from all the comments I'm reading that would be very slow by Starlink standards!
Great Video!! THANK YOU! We will have our Gen 2 in about 2 weeks, and cant wait!! A good day for us is currently 12mbps download speed so very excited to see what we get!
We are still waiting on our kit to be sent (ordered with deposit in 2020) 😔. We only get on average 3.5 mbs down and .5 up on a good day. Anything Starlink will get us is an improvement. Thanks for the video.
Don't give up hope! We ordered ours 1 yr ago and it came today. We live 15 minutes from town and get 3mbs, town only gets 6mbs. Can't wait to try this out. Just wish it could be ethernet and wifi at same time.
Tony from TV antennas Australia/Andrews home services. We have been evaluating Starlink in Perth WA with the round dish. The Wireless modem seemed quite slow and with short range when connected to a windows PC or laptop. Its Faster connected to a Mobile phone, (Android.) Its speed is Phenomenal with a hard wire ethernet connection 329 mbs Turning off any speed test adblockers also gave different speeds. I Tried watching an program/app supposedly showing the position of starlink satellites over Perth to see if there was any speed or ping differences when satellites were overhead It didnt seem to make much difference but possibly the program may be out of sync or time The only problem now is the starlink roof mounts I made for the generation 1 (round dish) have to be redesigned for Generation 2 (Rectangular dish) and also customers are not aware that on Generation 2 their is no provision for ethernet, without the additional adapter Otherwise an excellent system from Elon.
So, I am currently in the closed beta mesh network test. I am happy to report that the system is incredibly easy to add to an existing system. The mesh is extremely effective. The mesh router hardware is already inside the gen 2 routers. I am also able to daisy chain the mesh routers for loooong distance wifi The mesh routers are interchangeable with the main router. I have 4 routers total.
@@SixthDayRanch update. Since customer service is minimal, here is a way for someone to sell and transfer their account. The seller will need to have the buyer change the billing info on the seller's account to the buyers CC info. FYI you can also factory reset a mesh router, sell it to an existing starlink customer without contacting the help desk. They can install it as as their own. The equipment is not bound to one specific account unlike standard cable equipment.
Hello from the Philippines🇵🇭. I watched your video and I was impressed by the performance of your starlink. Though it still has a long way to go I am so bullish that this stuff will be successful moving forward
Thank you for the kind words! Phillipines is a beautiful country! I agree with you. It will take some time to determine long term stability and success of this tech.
Great news! Just saw the news today that Philippines has officially approved Starlink for use. Current estimate is approx. 6 months for a ground station to be setup and kits will hopefully start shipping soon after.
Just helped a buddy set his up in Hempstead (a little northwest of Houston). Happy to see the units starting to trickle into Texas. I'm still waiting for mine to go on our ranch just north of San Antonio.
Enjoyed your video, we just got our Starlink about a month ago and really been enjoying it. We are fulltime RVers and so far been able to use it in a couple different areas.
That's great to hear. I know there has been a lot of confusion around roaming - me included. It's good to hear it's working for some folks. Gald yall enjoy it and thanks for the kind words!
@@SixthDayRanch Yes we just moved for the first time since we got It last week and luckily enough it was the day they turned on roaming for most of us. So we're currently about 40 mi from our service address but my friends are here with us and they're about 200 plus miles away
That's awesome! Next time we travel I'm going to take it to try out. When my boys are done with school we may try to RV some. It looks like it's a lot of fun.
Wow satellite internet has made some strides. 200+ down was unheard of some time back. Working from home this would be a great failover for me if my main goes down. Thank you
👍🏼 We got in the Beta program last summer (2021) and have Gen 1 "Dishy." Was great from Day 1 here on our farm two counties away from Canada! And it's become faster and more reliable over time. Not happy about the monthly fee increase ($10/month) but there's no alternative here so far. Great technology! 😎✌🏼
So happy that you received your Starlink, I just received my e-mail yesterday that ours is on the way. You helped me to stop worrying about the setup. But being an old lady that does not know about a lot of this new fangled stuff, I hope to hard-wire it when the Ethernet adapter gets here, so hope you give us some info about that after you hardware yours. Thank you
You got this! Really happy to hear the video helped. We will do our best to provide an update video once we get the Ethernet adapter installed. We are still waiting on our mount unfortunately. Thanks for commenting and have a great day!
I was disappointed to have to spend an extra $45 (CDN) for the ethernet adapter for it.. but anxiously awaiting the arrival of my system. Order is being processed for shipping!! Woohoo!
Just got mine yesterday. I wouldn't waste my time with ethernet adapters. Get you an Asus mesh wifi network. Best thing I've ever done for my property. It's easy and you have so many more options at one set cost. I only paid around $200 on Amazon.
Our speeds are currently 3.0 down and 0.3 up. On a good day. Been on the waiting list for a year, they keep pushing back the service date here. I hope the up speed is somewhat better than 10. But anything would be a huge improvement.
@@SixthDayRanch It's important to keep in mind that they still need to put up a lot more satellites for their constellation network, so who knows, your upload speeds could improve with time.
That speed is unbelievable small... I do understand that we cannot compare that with the wired internet. I live in Romania, and the speed is 250Mb/s for download and upload. I want to buy also a Starlink pack, because I want to work from remote village.
One day I hope to add Starlink to my sailboat so i can get internet in the middle of the ocean when on a cruise. Not sure when Starlink will have that capability.
Hell ya, thanks for the video! It just became available to us we are farmers/ homesteaders in Washington. WE have been running off verizon hotspots for 2 years! Ordering ours this week.
I appreciate and thanks for the setup video! My wife and I live on 15 acres out here in East Texas and we have no options out here for any decent internet--no cable nor fiber. Viasat sucks and Hughsnet is a complete joke. Like you guys I also have the Gen 2 Satellite (RV version for now until Residential is available, still on waiting list) and I plan to also get the Ethernet adapter and a pole mount since we have two poles out here from previous satellite installations so can make use of them. Your speeds are miles better compared to the Verizon data we get from our phones out here which isnt much. Keep us updated on your speeds as you get adapted to your new system!
Holy Smoke, that speed test blew me away!!!! And the Self Alignging is amazing... As a bloke that's installed Sat Dishes for 20 years, that's truly unbelievable I'm regional on 3G unlimited (sppeds 7-12 Down and 3 Up) Can you take your starlink anywhere in the USA or even into other countries?
They have the RV version now and I am using it in USA and Mexico. It's pretty amazing in Mexico. I use it in a rural area with little cellphone coverage and no internet providers available. At initial setup I got 66mbps. Hopefully speeds improve but much better than 600kbps I'd get with my cell service
I am glad you got your system, I have been on the waiting list since 2-10-2021. We get less than 5 mb down and 300 kb up with Frontier DSL. SL says we should have it in April 2022. Last Year they said August of 2021 then it sliped to late 2021 and now its April of 2022.
@@SixthDayRanch Me too I know it will be a game changer, I just hope I get it befor the SHTF. I would like to have fast internet for a little while before the balloon goes up and it all falls apart.
@@MsPeachesandcream I GOT IT, after ONLY waiting 14 months. My system was delevered yesterday morning and I have already installed it. I so far the fastest speeds that I have seen has been 63 Mbps down and 15 Mbps up, I was hoping for faster but that is so much better than the 5Mbps down and 300kb up with Frontier DSL. I have a qustion I have an 8 camera video surveillance system and the video on one of my caneras is being interfered when the Starlink system is running, if I unplug the Starlink the interference goes away and as soon as I plug it back in it comes back. I have tried rerouting the Starlink cable with no luck. I will be checking all of the connection to the camera next. This is the ONLY camera in the system that is having this issue and the camera is located 75 feet from the Starlink router but all of the cables for all of my cameras come into the building at a point about 5 ft from the router. Does anyone know how to or if the 5Ghz side of the Starlink router can be turned off? I would like to see if it could be the 5Ghz could be couseing the interference.
So happy for you! I preordered back in June and FINALLY got my confirmation e-mail to complete my order yesterday! I have ViaSat and can’t wait to give it the boot!
any way you could plug this into a kill-o-watt meter to see how much power it pulls. The first generation dish pulled 100+ watts 24/7 regardless so hoping thats been optimized a bit. We are off grid solar.
Thank y 'all for the info. This just made my decision to go with Star Link easier. Living in the country in Central Florida it's been a real pain to find good internet.
thanks for your info. awaiting my unit in about 2 weeks. we live out in the country too. we've subsisted on our VZW phones only for almost 4 years. can't wait to hook this to my smart tv.
We're in the country and tech savvy from our previous jobs. We work from home now and the internet we've had is dial up slow. Just got our Starlink yesterday. So glad to see a video showing how easy it is. One question if you see this - how new are your phones? Ours are old and I'm wondering if we need to upgrade to run the app.
We do have newer phones. We buy unlocked pixels from Google. Much cheaper long term than buying a subsidized phone through att. Honestly not sure what age OS either android or ios is supported. I did figure out you can setup without a phone you just can't configure the wifi and other settings without the app. Hope it works great for you!
I am so glad to have found your videos! Rural South Florida in desperate need of 21st century internet!! I can’t find a video to dumb it down enough for me to try connecting my Orbi w 3 satellite units to expand coverage on entire property. Love to see that if you’ve got it! God Bless!
Happy to help where we can. If you get the Ethernet adapter you should be able to plug a network cable from starlink directly to your existing internet router. This of course depends on your current internet setup.
Thanks for the tutorial. I got my dish yesterday, the mount should show Thursday. Today I got the pole in the ground and ran conduit to the house. This will be great as we have no fiber, no cable. I get 1 to 2 bars VZW from a neighboring county. Subscribed.
That's awesome! Always happy to hear someone finally get better options for internet! It's been rough on us country folk for a while. Nice job getting a pole and conduit ran. How are your speeds?
@@SixthDayRanch I haven't set it up yet, because of the trees I know I've got to be 8' up about 25' from the house to get enough coverage for Starlink to be happy. The pole mount should show later this week. It's been almost an 18 month wait. A friend of mine signed up for the RV system and they shipped in 2 days. I'll let you know my speeds when I hook up.
We got ours last Monday..4 days after ordering it...i heard it was available to order without waiting on a list..we live in Manitoba Canada...in a rural area...using our cellphones as Internet access ( limited options here )... we get various Upload / Download speeds depending on when you test it...all are a Big change from our cellphone speeds ( and we get slowed down after hitting our 75GB combined data package..even at best speeds it was less than 5 MB down and less... Up..when throttled down it was terrible but ok )...now we get Incredible speeds and consistent quality daily...it reaches almost 200Mb Down and sometimes 50-70 Up... really changed our Internet use and Life... we heard Fibre Internet may come one day here..but now we are Very Happy and can wait to see if that happens ...
Just ordered mine. I live in the Arkansas Ozark mountians on our home stead. We have horrible internet that we have to bounce signlas off towers on other hills. We got the RV one so we can travel with it as well.
@@SixthDayRanch Just watched your ethernet connecting video. Didnt know it didnt come with one so I just ordered it. Helped me out again so thank you. =0)
Its fine. Roosters are beautiful birds. Ever sit and watch the variations and brightness of the plumage on roosters, stunningly beautiful. Yeah, I am a birder 😁👍 There must be the option to bridge the network with a consumer router of you choice in AP or Access Point mode that will allow you to expand your network.
Love all this y'all have shown here. I have been waiting since February 2021 and had a date for mid 2021, then late 2021, then Mid 2022, now as of last weekend it changed to June 2022. We are excited now. Viasat has done what they have done but I look forward to them being in in rear view mirror. Be are very soon now!
Just got mine today. Living in the country we are limited to wireless. Your BEFORE speed of 25/5 is faster than ours. Ours is 15 down and 5 up...on a GOOD day. Looking for Starlink to be a game changer for us! Thanks for the video.
Just got rid of Frontier Internet and I went from watching UA-cam at 240P to 1440P 60FPS with Starlink I can even do 4k 60FPS on UA-cam Starlink is a MASSIVE improvement
I'm in the black hills of SD... been running at 225-300 megabits down and 10-25 megabits up. Heavy snow laden clouds consistently Slow the speeds when present.. usually 100 megabits down and 5 megabits up
@@SixthDayRanch I used the ground (stock mount) with sand bags on my roof peak. Im still waiting on the “penetrating roof mount” from starlink. I have lot of trees around my place but zero obstructions. Cumulative down time over the past 6 weeks is well under 15 minutes. Latency is around 30-90 ms. I had a test this AM that was 360 down 30 up (wifi) not a wired connection. Also I enable bridge mode and using my own router since I wirelessly stream video from 7 cameras across my property……
Wow really appreciate the info brother! Those are great numbers. If they don't ship my mount soon I'll have to improvise as well. Same with the ethernet adapter. What router are you using for the bridge? Is it stock or flashed with something else?
We've been there! The upload will definitely be faster. Of course it's never as fast as we want it to be! Hope it works well for you. Have a great day!
Outstanding Video and report! Thank you. 2 questions: 1. With video conference calls, how often are your conference calls interrupted? This is my major worry. 2. On your existing home, how did you get the system into your home/office or IT closet? It seems the cable has fittings and such. On my house I do have a cable box, but no holes large enough for passing the cable into the home. Cheers, Eric
I conference multiple times daily and no issues yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way! Fortunately for me I have an existing penetration that will support the larger cable. I haven't mounted mine yet due to the delay in the mount shipping but I'll try to do a video on it when I do. Starlink does sell a wall penetration kit that looks decent. It even comes with the drill bit for the hole.
Great video! I waited over a year too and Starlink is finally shipping to my location. Initially going to run terrestrial cable Internet and Starlink, both hooked to programmable router so I'll have Internet connectivity no matter what happens.
@@SixthDayRanch I ordered one right after I watched your video and yesterday I got the email from Starlink to confirm my order and they charged me to ship my equipments in two weeks.I’m really excited and cant believe that was fast process than I expected.
I was getting 4.5 Mbps down and 300kbps up with my CRAPPY Frontier DSL, Now with my Starlink I am am only getting 50 to 80 Mbps down and 15 to 20 up. I do have some trees to the North west and part of the house to the North East of the antenna. But This is by far better than the Crappy Frontier DSL. I saw over 100 Mbps down on my phone but the ROCKET SCIENCESTS at Starlink updated the phone app and when I deleted the old app and went to instal the NEW app is says that it is not compatable with my PHONE, Thanks STARLINK!!!
Hey I just got my Starlink gen 2 “rectangular” type. I thought I seen on UA-cam somewhere that you’re supposed to peel the white film off the front of this dish… so I did, it’s working, but maybe I should not have done that????!!! Freaking out a little!
You're wired connection was much better than mine! Was only getting 3 mbps down and 0.6 up here in Maine. Just got Gen 2 Starlink up and I'm averaging around 200 mbps down and 16 mbps up. Feels nice to be in the 21st century finally!
I understand. I took us years (and thousands) of country living to settle on an overpriced WISP with spotty service. A lot of folks have commented the same. I'm really grateful we now have the option to use Starlink. It's been incredible so far!

We are in very remote eastern Washington, and are suffering from HughesNet slowness. My question is, we are in dense trees and it took forever to get a very small window. Would Starlink work? We do have a bit of a open yard and we are wondering if it uses just one satellite or multiple?
You can use the starlink app to check for a clear view of the sky. It definitely connects to multiple satellites.
I've had Starlink for just over a month. Previous cable internet was pulling 2-3 down and 0.1 up. Starlink speeds fluctuate, but I'm typically getting at least 100 down and 20 up. Ran a speed test yesterday and had 635 down 469 up. So it definitely varies from amazing to still far better than anything else I have access to. Rural Louisiana here.
Wow that's great. So far we've averaged about the same speeds.
the more satelites he gets up the better itll become
if your antenna get multiple satellites the speed gets higher
Wow over 600? That's like fiber throughput
Starlink's download speed goals are 10Gbps! If they even even get close to that it's going to change the planet!
So happy for you guys. It’s wonderful to see folks pleased with products. Finding reliable gear is such a joy these days.
Really appreciate that, and I completely agree! It's hard to find anything that is built to last as well.
We're still waiting in NC, I'm glad you have it. Zero apologies needed, farm life is here as well❤️

Way way up north, our regular service here gives us about 1MB/s speeds for our whole home it’s a nightmare to do anything, but Starlink has just unrolled for us about 4 months ago and I’ve heard nothing but good things. We ordered ours and we’re kind of upset about the wait but we’re getting the second gen dish now, it should be here anyway. Can’t wait to have it. Average speeds here are 100-300mb/s, best tech to have been released for hard service areas.
Thanks for the upload.
You're welcome! That's awesome!
Always do a reboot from within the Starlink App on the wifi and the router once a day. That will dramatically help with speeds... Also put the dish into stow mode and then hit un stow once a day and that will also force to dish to find a more preferred satellite which helps the speeds big time. I am in a waitlist area with the RV version and my speeds are always up near 70-100Mb download. Get 2-3 mesh units as well.... Huge difference !! AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the info. I would be careful following this advice. If you have to reboot and or stow this once a day you'd be significantly reducing the life of the product. This should not be required if installed in a good obstruction free location. I haven't rebooted mine once and my speeds stay great.
We live in a remote area of Florida (near Alabama) with no fibre, cable, or landline internet service. Like you, I have satellite internet from a company that claims it provides "high speed" internet, but their definition of high speed and mine are completely different. Have had this same, awful, service for about 2 years. I just got my Starlink 4 days ago. First speed test..... 183 mbps ! ! ! ! It has NOT disappointed.
IN the same boat.And in Florida(CFL).I wish i had their beginning speeds
Been waiting fpr over a year.
At least this still seems promising
It's still unbelievable to us at this point! We are really grateful to finally have great speeds! Happy to hear yall now have it too!
Hope you get better speeds soon my friend!
I lived on an ocean front property years ago and had to get an ISDN circuit with a microwave antenna setup. Got 1.5 down and 0.3 up for $285/mo. I’m on fiber now and routinely get 150-225 down and 10-20 up for $70/mo.
Wow that's really good!
wow. the most simple set up ive ever seen. they have made it simple and easy enough that anyone in the world can have it ready in minutes. easy access to wifi and information to a small village in the middle of Africa, and great, fast internet access for someone like myself who lives in the foothills of the appalachian mountains and it can be hard to find a good provider sometimes
They really did a great job! Engineering excellence. Except for maybe the lack of of an ethernet port. It's super simple and it just works. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment here.
Problem is with the packages... anyone in Africa, Asia will not able to afford it with current prices.... In Asia we are used to pay like max $15 per month for 16Mbs+ packages .... and Starlink packages start from $99
Northern Ontario here. Have had Starlink for 2 or 3 weeks. It is so much better than I expected. I've only noticed one outage so far, and it lasted for about 5-10 mins. The rest have been few-second dropouts overnight.
That's awesome!
Had Hughes, certain times of day 56k dial-up would have been faster. They just kept telling me "we're launching a new 🛰 soon".
Signed up for Starlink the day they opened for sales. Finally got it this month and are amazed. Consistently 150+Meg.
Hopefully Hughes will pay for the over sold, under performance, stranglehold they had on rural folks.
I'm with you 100%. I've used them as well in the past and it's a complete scam and drained our pocket books for terrible internet.
We have HughesNet as well. A daily exercise in frustration. Horrible and expensive. We are going to try Starlink. It’s the same monthly fee and if we can actually get useable internet, it’d be well worth it
It's night and day difference and no data caps.
@@scottdesart275 when you cancel with Hughes net they will hit you with a $325 early cancellation fee. Ask me how I know. Going through it right now with my cc company and BBB complaint now. This company should be burned to the ground!
Just mounting base on my deck & drilled throught " header joist" and threaded cable. Will hook up inside parts on Saturday
👍👍👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾 looking great for us Rural Folks.. 🐂🐂🐂
That's AWESOME! You're so right - for those of us with no better options this is huge! Hope it works well for you my friend!
I received my gen2 starlink kit on Monday and so far so good.
Awesome!
I just got my Starlink today. Screw HughesNet. Starlink is phenomenal.
Awesome! It's night and day!
I can only tether off of a Verizon cell phone. I get under 2 Mb down and under 1 Mb up. It has never been faster than that. Just got my kit today, haven't unboxed it yet, just got out of work. Everyone I've seen with bad connections has been exponentially faster than my connection, so I'm rather excited!!! We got this mostly to facilitate running live fb video on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings, so upload speed is actually more important to me than download speeds. I was surprised to see the upload speed such a low rate compared to the download speed, but even if we got 6 Mb upload consistently, I'd be very, very happy!!!
That's great news! Hope it works well for you. Our upload averages around 10 up. Would love it to be faster there but honestly it's still makes a big difference for us!
Here's our video on the Ethernet Adapter: ua-cam.com/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/v-deo.html

Your up speed with out was twice what I ever got. I now have starlink and I'm looking at 250 up. Off grid 28 yrs.
Wow those are great speeds!
Good Bye to my ATT pre-paid 4G router. Just ordered my StarLink yesterday. Will be ordering the ethernet connector. Thank you for pointing that out. Can't wait to bring high speed Internet to the gators:-)
Haha awesome!
We just posted a video on the ethernet adapter: ua-cam.com/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/v-deo.html
After 18 months my kit arrives tomorrow! This video was very helpful - can't wait to ditch our 13mbps (on a very good day) DSL. I'd be ecstatic with 40mbps, but it appears from all the comments I'm reading that would be very slow by Starlink standards!
So glad our video helped! Thanks for the kind words. Hope it works great for you!
Great Video!! THANK YOU! We will have our Gen 2 in about 2 weeks, and cant wait!! A good day for us is currently 12mbps download speed so very excited to see what we get!
Awesome! I hope it works well for yall!
We are still waiting on our kit to be sent (ordered with deposit in 2020) 😔. We only get on average 3.5 mbs down and .5 up on a good day. Anything Starlink will get us is an improvement. Thanks for the video.
Wow that's brutal! Hope yall get it soon!
Same in Ontario. Not even rural either. And bell charges us 150$ for it too.
Man that's terrible!
Don't give up hope! We ordered ours 1 yr ago and it came today. We live 15 minutes from town and get 3mbs, town only gets 6mbs. Can't wait to try this out. Just wish it could be ethernet and wifi at same time.
Tony from TV antennas Australia/Andrews home services.
We have been evaluating Starlink in Perth WA with the round dish.
The Wireless modem seemed quite slow and with short range when connected
to a windows PC or laptop.
Its Faster connected to a Mobile phone, (Android.)
Its speed is Phenomenal with a hard wire ethernet connection 329 mbs
Turning off any speed test adblockers also gave different speeds.
I Tried watching an program/app supposedly showing the position of starlink satellites over Perth to see if there was any speed or ping differences when satellites were overhead
It didnt seem to make much difference but possibly the program may be out of sync or time
The only problem now is the starlink roof mounts I made for the generation 1 (round dish) have to be redesigned for Generation 2 (Rectangular dish) and also customers are not aware that on Generation 2 their is no provision for ethernet, without the additional adapter
Otherwise an excellent system from Elon.
Great points! Thank you for taking the time to share all that.
We’ve been waiting for almost 2 yrs in N. Idaho. 😕. Glad you have yours.
Darn. That's a long time! Sorry to hear about that and I hope yall get it soon!
So, I am currently in the closed beta mesh network test. I am happy to report that the system is incredibly easy to add to an existing system. The mesh is extremely effective. The mesh router hardware is already inside the gen 2 routers. I am also able to daisy chain the mesh routers for loooong distance wifi The mesh routers are interchangeable with the main router. I have 4 routers total.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us. That setup is going to be ideal for a lot of people.
@@SixthDayRanch update. Since customer service is minimal, here is a way for someone to sell and transfer their account. The seller will need to have the buyer change the billing info on the seller's account to the buyers CC info.
FYI you can also factory reset a mesh router, sell it to an existing starlink customer without contacting the help desk. They can install it as as their own. The equipment is not bound to one specific account unlike standard cable equipment.
Hello from the Philippines🇵🇭. I watched your video and I was impressed by the performance of your starlink. Though it still has a long way to go I am so bullish that this stuff will be successful moving forward
Thank you for the kind words! Phillipines is a beautiful country! I agree with you. It will take some time to determine long term stability and success of this tech.
Great news! Just saw the news today that Philippines has officially approved Starlink for use. Current estimate is approx. 6 months for a ground station to be setup and kits will hopefully start shipping soon after.
Gosh damn! I'm sold!! In the middle of the California desert I get 3-5 mb down and .3 up.
Hope you get better options soon that's brutal! Thanks for watching!
Just helped a buddy set his up in Hempstead (a little northwest of Houston). Happy to see the units starting to trickle into Texas. I'm still waiting for mine to go on our ranch just north of San Antonio.
Awesome! Hope you get it soon!
Enjoyed your video, we just got our Starlink about a month ago and really been enjoying it. We are fulltime RVers and so far been able to use it in a couple different areas.
That's great to hear. I know there has been a lot of confusion around roaming - me included. It's good to hear it's working for some folks. Gald yall enjoy it and thanks for the kind words!
@@SixthDayRanch Yes we just moved for the first time since we got It last week and luckily enough it was the day they turned on roaming for most of us. So we're currently about 40 mi from our service address but my friends are here with us and they're about 200 plus miles away
That's awesome! Next time we travel I'm going to take it to try out. When my boys are done with school we may try to RV some. It looks like it's a lot of fun.
BTW just subbed your channel. Great content keep up the good work!
@@SixthDayRanch thanks
Wow satellite internet has made some strides. 200+ down was unheard of some time back. Working from home this would be a great failover for me if my main goes down. Thank you
It really has! I'm still in awe of the speeds we now get!
👍🏼 We got in the Beta program last summer (2021) and have Gen 1 "Dishy." Was great from Day 1 here on our farm two counties away from Canada! And it's become faster and more reliable over time. Not happy about the monthly fee increase ($10/month) but there's no alternative here so far. Great technology! 😎✌🏼
Texas is awesome, so are you guys! Thank you
Thanks friend!
You guys are the perfect fit for each other. Very refreshing to see a happy married couple in the country. I subscribed just on that.
Thanks for the kind words. God Bless!
So happy that you received your Starlink, I just received my e-mail yesterday that ours is on the way. You helped me to stop worrying about the setup. But being an old lady that does not know about a lot of this new fangled stuff, I hope to hard-wire it when the Ethernet adapter gets here, so hope you give us some info about that after you hardware yours. Thank you
You got this! Really happy to hear the video helped. We will do our best to provide an update video once we get the Ethernet adapter installed. We are still waiting on our mount unfortunately. Thanks for commenting and have a great day!
We just posted a video on the ethernet adapter: ua-cam.com/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/v-deo.html
I was disappointed to have to spend an extra $45 (CDN) for the ethernet adapter for it.. but anxiously awaiting the arrival of my system. Order is being processed for shipping!! Woohoo!
Same. Hope it works well for you!
Where do you order the Ethernet connection from?
Starlink.com
Thanks for the demo. Mine is coming Friday here in rural NC. I currently have 3-5MBPS best day. Can't wait!
Awesome! Hope it works great for you!
When did you order yours?
@@TheMosinCrate Feb 2021, got my confirmation on April 1st, delivered last Friday. Up and running, FANTASTIC. So long Centurylink!
@@boldie24 Awesome, thank you! Congrats on getting yours.
@@TheMosinCrate Where are you at and how long waiting?
Just got mine yesterday. I wouldn't waste my time with ethernet adapters. Get you an Asus mesh wifi network. Best thing I've ever done for my property. It's easy and you have so many more options at one set cost. I only paid around $200 on Amazon.
Sounds like a nice setup! Thanks for the info!
Our speeds are currently 3.0 down and 0.3 up. On a good day. Been on the waiting list for a year, they keep pushing back the service date here.
I hope the up speed is somewhat better than 10. But anything would be a huge improvement.
We average mostly around 10 up. Sometimes higher. I definitely wish it was better, but unfortunately it's still way better than what we had.
@@SixthDayRanch It's important to keep in mind that they still need to put up a lot more satellites for their constellation network, so who knows, your upload speeds could improve with time.
Exactly! Excellent point!
That speed is unbelievable small... I do understand that we cannot compare that with the wired internet.
I live in Romania, and the speed is 250Mb/s for download and upload.
I want to buy also a Starlink pack, because I want to work from remote village.
Those are great speeds my friend! Wish we had those options where we are.
One day I hope to add Starlink to my sailboat so i can get internet in the middle of the ocean when on a cruise. Not sure when Starlink will have that capability.
That would be awesome!
Hell ya, thanks for the video! It just became available to us we are farmers/ homesteaders in Washington. WE have been running off verizon hotspots for 2 years! Ordering ours this week.
Thanks awesome! Happy to hear it's available for yall! Hope it works well for your needs.
I appreciate and thanks for the setup video! My wife and I live on 15 acres out here in East Texas and we have no options out here for any decent internet--no cable nor fiber. Viasat sucks and Hughsnet is a complete joke. Like you guys I also have the Gen 2 Satellite (RV version for now until Residential is available, still on waiting list) and I plan to also get the Ethernet adapter and a pole mount since we have two poles out here from previous satellite installations so can make use of them.
Your speeds are miles better compared to the Verizon data we get from our phones out here which isnt much. Keep us updated on your speeds as you get adapted to your new system!
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Hope it works well for you guys. It's a shame the options are still so limited these days.
Thanks, this is awesome and need to have.
Thanks for the kind words!
That’s pretty amazing speed! Would like to see them use connected ports at both ends for cleaner installation
I agree. I'm shocked they removed the ethernet port as well.
The new dish can can disconnect the cable at the dish end as well as the router end.
Yes!
Right?! Will it run StarCraft 2?
No idea! Hopefully someone can answer that for you!
I live in an Indian reservation, and our order was just confirmed today, we’re pretty excited for it lol
That's awesome! Hope it works well for you!
That is AWESOME and COOL!!! The speed is amazing too! Thanks for sharing btw!
Thanks for the kind words! You're welcome ans thanks for watching!
Holy Smoke, that speed test blew me away!!!!
And the Self Alignging is amazing...
As a bloke that's installed Sat Dishes for 20 years, that's truly unbelievable
I'm regional on 3G unlimited (sppeds 7-12 Down and 3 Up)
Can you take your starlink anywhere in the USA or even into other countries?
Same for us. It's amazing! We do have the ability to roam and take the dish elsewhere, but you are prioritized based on your base address.
They have the RV version now and I am using it in USA and Mexico. It's pretty amazing in Mexico. I use it in a rural area with little cellphone coverage and no internet providers available. At initial setup I got 66mbps. Hopefully speeds improve but much better than 600kbps I'd get with my cell service
I am glad you got your system, I have been on the waiting list since 2-10-2021. We get less than 5 mb down and 300 kb up with Frontier DSL. SL says we should have it in April 2022. Last Year they said August of 2021 then it sliped to late 2021 and now its April of 2022.
Oh man I hope you get it soon my friend!
@@SixthDayRanch Me too I know it will be a game changer, I just hope I get it befor the SHTF. I would like to have fast internet for a little while before the balloon goes up and it all falls apart.
I hear you!
Be sure and check your email often, I missed my seven day notice and only caught it when I had three days left to confirm.
@@MsPeachesandcream I GOT IT, after ONLY waiting 14 months. My system was delevered yesterday morning and I have already installed it. I so far the fastest speeds that I have seen has been 63 Mbps down and 15 Mbps up, I was hoping for faster but that is so much better than the 5Mbps down and 300kb up with Frontier DSL.
I have a qustion I have an 8 camera video surveillance system and the video on one of my caneras is being interfered when the Starlink system is running, if I unplug the Starlink the interference goes away and as soon as I plug it back in it comes back. I have tried rerouting the Starlink cable with no luck. I will be checking all of the connection to the camera next. This is the ONLY camera in the system that is having this issue and the camera is located 75 feet from the Starlink router but all of the cables for all of my cameras come into the building at a point about 5 ft from the router. Does anyone know how to or if the 5Ghz side of the Starlink router can be turned off? I would like to see if it could be the 5Ghz could be couseing the interference.
just got my confirmation email south texas victoria county cant wait great video thanks
Appreciate it! We are close by my friend! Goliad county here.
So happy for you! I preordered back in June and FINALLY got my confirmation e-mail to complete my order yesterday! I have ViaSat and can’t wait to give it the boot!
Yes! That's awesome news! Hope it works well for you!
any way you could plug this into a kill-o-watt meter to see how much power it pulls. The first generation dish pulled 100+ watts 24/7 regardless so hoping thats been optimized a bit. We are off grid solar.
I wish I had one! I've been told it takes less now but I honestly don't know.
We are on solar panels and starlink does use heaps of energy
I'm currently waiting on starlink to email me about shipping, I currently get 6mbps and about half a mb up I can't wait!
The wait is worth it my friend! Hope you get your soon!
Thank y 'all for the info. This just made my decision to go with Star Link easier. Living in the country in Central Florida it's been a real pain to find good internet.
We feel your pain! It's still going strong for us!
thanks for your info.
awaiting my unit in about 2 weeks.
we live out in the country too.
we've subsisted on our VZW phones only for almost 4 years.
can't wait to hook this to my smart tv.
Really excited for yall! It's going to be awesome for you guys! It's changed a ton for us.
Its sad that some Astronomer are blocking this game changer internet for remote area or not cheap internet. and maybe for poor people.
I can understand both sides of the argument for sure.
We're in the country and tech savvy from our previous jobs. We work from home now and the internet we've had is dial up slow. Just got our Starlink yesterday. So glad to see a video showing how easy it is. One question if you see this - how new are your phones? Ours are old and I'm wondering if we need to upgrade to run the app.
We do have newer phones. We buy unlocked pixels from Google. Much cheaper long term than buying a subsidized phone through att. Honestly not sure what age OS either android or ios is supported. I did figure out you can setup without a phone you just can't configure the wifi and other settings without the app. Hope it works great for you!
I am so glad to have found your videos! Rural South Florida in desperate need of 21st century internet!! I can’t find a video to dumb it down enough for me to try connecting my Orbi w 3 satellite units to expand coverage on entire property. Love to see that if you’ve got it! God Bless!
Happy to help where we can. If you get the Ethernet adapter you should be able to plug a network cable from starlink directly to your existing internet router. This of course depends on your current internet setup.
Here's the link to the ethernet adapter video:ua-cam.com/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/v-deo.html
You guys are awesome! Thanks for showing the walk-thru of the setup...excited to get mine!! BTW - Nice property...jelly. :)
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words! I hope it works well for you. Ours is going strong, though the speeds have decreased a lot.
I'm definitely thinking about Starlink, we live in the smoky mountains and can loose signal too much lately
It's definitely a great option if it's available in your area.
Thanks for the tutorial. I got my dish yesterday, the mount should show Thursday. Today I got the pole in the ground and ran conduit to the house. This will be great as we have no fiber, no cable. I get 1 to 2 bars VZW from a neighboring county. Subscribed.
That's awesome! Always happy to hear someone finally get better options for internet! It's been rough on us country folk for a while. Nice job getting a pole and conduit ran. How are your speeds?
@@SixthDayRanch I haven't set it up yet, because of the trees I know I've got to be 8' up about 25' from the house to get enough coverage for Starlink to be happy. The pole mount should show later this week. It's been almost an 18 month wait. A friend of mine signed up for the RV system and they shipped in 2 days. I'll let you know my speeds when I hook up.
Appreciate it! Hope it works well for you. Rv option is cool but they won't have the same speeds so it's worth the wait.
Starling waking up from sleep: Moo 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching!
We got ours last Monday..4 days after ordering it...i heard it was available to order without waiting on a list..we live in Manitoba Canada...in a rural area...using our cellphones as Internet access ( limited options here )... we get various Upload / Download speeds depending on when you test it...all are a Big change from our cellphone speeds ( and we get slowed down after hitting our 75GB combined data package..even at best speeds it was less than 5 MB down and less... Up..when throttled down it was terrible but ok )...now we get Incredible speeds and consistent quality daily...it reaches almost 200Mb Down and sometimes 50-70 Up... really changed our Internet use and Life... we heard Fibre Internet may come one day here..but now we are Very Happy and can wait to see if that happens ...
Thanks for sharing your experience! We love hearing stories like this!
Ours came yesterday. Plug and play as you have never seen, EASIEST install. FAST internet. Southeast Arizona
Awesome! What kind of speeds are you getting so far?
Wow, what an improvement over cable...something I will be seriously considering when it arrives in my area.
It definitely has potential. Thanks for watching!
Just ordered mine. I live in the Arkansas Ozark mountians on our home stead. We have horrible internet that we have to bounce signlas off towers on other hills. We got the RV one so we can travel with it as well.

Its fine. Roosters are beautiful birds. Ever sit and watch the variations and brightness of the plumage on roosters, stunningly beautiful. Yeah, I am a birder 😁👍
There must be the option to bridge the network with a consumer router of you choice in AP or Access Point mode that will allow you to expand your network.
I agree they are great animals!
I'm working on a temp solution for the wireless bridge until I get the adaptor

Thanks, I found it very helpful. Country folk here from Florida. Not many of us left here in the state. 😂😫😊
Have great day!
You're welcome and welcome to our channel! We need more country folk in the country! God bless!
Love all this y'all have shown here. I have been waiting since February 2021 and had a date for mid 2021, then late 2021, then Mid 2022, now as of last weekend it changed to June 2022. We are excited now. Viasat has done what they have done but I look forward to them being in in rear view mirror. Be are very soon now!
That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words. Hope you get it soon and it works great for yall!
Just got mine today. Living in the country we are limited to wireless. Your BEFORE speed of 25/5 is faster than ours. Ours is 15 down and 5 up...on a GOOD day. Looking for Starlink to be a game changer for us! Thanks for the video.
How awesome! Really hope it works well for yall!
Just got mine setup. Thanks for the help guys!!! 🙂
You're welcome!
I live in northern Michigan and have to pay Frontier 45$ a month for no joke 1.5mb of speed. Only internet provider in our area. So this is godsend
Wow that's terrible!
Hope you get better service soon my friend!
Just got rid of Frontier Internet and I went from watching UA-cam at 240P to 1440P 60FPS with Starlink I can even do 4k 60FPS on UA-cam Starlink is a MASSIVE improvement
Glad to hear it! It's been such a game changer for us.
First time i have seen the channel, i think its great,keep it up guys
Thanks for the kind words! Means a lot. Have a great day!
I'm in the black hills of SD... been running at 225-300 megabits down and 10-25 megabits up. Heavy snow laden clouds consistently
Slow the speeds when present.. usually 100 megabits down and 5 megabits up
Wow those are great numbers! How did you end up mounting your dish?
@@SixthDayRanch I used the ground (stock mount) with sand bags on my roof peak. Im still waiting on the “penetrating roof mount” from starlink.
I have lot of trees around my place but zero obstructions. Cumulative down time over the past 6 weeks is well under 15 minutes. Latency is around 30-90 ms.
I had a test this AM that was 360 down 30 up (wifi) not a wired connection. Also I enable bridge mode and using my own router since I wirelessly stream video from 7 cameras across my property……
Wow really appreciate the info brother! Those are great numbers. If they don't ship my mount soon I'll have to improvise as well. Same with the ethernet adapter. What router are you using for the bridge? Is it stock or flashed with something else?
Sixth Day Ranch Texas linksys wrt 1200 ac. I did not flash the router with other software with the exception of the router firmware
Awesome thanks!
We get ours this week. Currently it takes me 9 hours to upload a 10 minute UA-cam video
We've been there! The upload will definitely be faster. Of course it's never as fast as we want it to be! Hope it works well for you. Have a great day!
We've got ours coming in the mail. We were getting what you're getting with microwave internet. I can't wait. Where are you getting your accessories?
All accessories come from Starlink.com. After your kit ships you can order through their online store.
Outstanding Video and report! Thank you.
2 questions:
1. With video conference calls, how often are your conference calls interrupted? This is my major worry.
2. On your existing home, how did you get the system into your home/office or IT closet? It seems the cable has fittings and such. On my house I do have a cable box, but no holes large enough for passing the cable into the home.
Cheers,
Eric
I conference multiple times daily and no issues yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way! Fortunately for me I have an existing penetration that will support the larger cable. I haven't mounted mine yet due to the delay in the mount shipping but I'll try to do a video on it when I do. Starlink does sell a wall penetration kit that looks decent. It even comes with the drill bit for the hole.
amazing! Thx for the review! 👍👍👍
You're welcome!
My neighbor received his equipment 3 days ago and was getting 220 download , our equipment should be here tomorrow

Thank you! She's absolutely the love of my life.
Great video! I waited over a year too and Starlink is finally shipping to my location. Initially going to run terrestrial cable Internet and Starlink, both hooked to programmable router so I'll have Internet connectivity no matter what happens.
Thanks! That's a great idea and it would be even cooler if you could bond the connections!
Thank you for the informative video !! I will follow your Chanel !!
Thank you!
Your video really made me to get one. I've been hesitated to get one before but now I'm definitely going to get one
Depending on your existing options they are great! Thanks for sharing!
@@SixthDayRanch I ordered one right after I watched your video and yesterday I got the email from Starlink to confirm my order and they charged me to ship my equipments in two weeks.I’m really excited and cant believe that was fast process than I expected.
Wow that's great news. Thanks for keeping us updated! I hope it works well for you!
Thank you! Great help!
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words!
really cool , look forward to the follow up video
Thanks!
Love your videos simple and easy to follow along, love my starlink, would like to add security cameras, could do a video on them? Ty
Thanks for the kind words! I'll try to do a video on security cameras but honestly there are just so many options is pretty hard to do a video on it.
Thanks was really interested in starlink operations.
Happy to help!
I was getting 4.5 Mbps down and 300kbps up with my CRAPPY Frontier DSL, Now with my Starlink I am am only getting 50 to 80 Mbps down and 15 to 20 up. I do have some trees to the North west and part of the house to the North East of the antenna. But This is by far better than the Crappy Frontier DSL. I saw over 100 Mbps down on my phone but the ROCKET SCIENCESTS at Starlink updated the phone app and when I deleted the old app and went to instal the NEW app is says that it is not compatable with my PHONE, Thanks STARLINK!!!
Oh man that's frustrating. Glad you're getting decent internet now!
Hey I just got my Starlink gen 2 “rectangular” type. I thought I seen on UA-cam somewhere that you’re supposed to peel the white film off the front of this dish… so I did, it’s working, but maybe I should not have done that????!!! Freaking out a little!
Oh no I'm not sure what kind of damage that might do. I'd ask support maybe. You're fine and it won't hurt it!
