We give you our honest thoughts on what this technology means for provincial island life in Siargao Island Philippines. We cover the monthly cost compared to GLOBE internet, the recent price drop, things we wish we knew about Starlink before buying it, speed and reliability, router strength, latency test and whether we think it's still worth it for province life.

    You could put Vulcaseal or other water sealant to those mounting bolts to protect them from salty weather and probably slow down the rusting/ oxidation process. Nice setup there! I love combining technology with nature so one of my ultimate dream is to live in self-sufficient off-grid home in a vast wilderness, along the river, or in an island like that by the seashore.

    Got mine for my location in Guimaras, it's my backup as our fiber is easily disrupted by storms and falling trees as we are 300 meters away from the main road. We used to have a satellite service as it was the only thing available at the time we moved, which was php8.5k for only 35Mbps/down 5Mbps/up and a data cap of 500Gb lol, eventually we got our Starlink + Fiber 700Mbps and having both was still cheaper! I believe the upload speed is limited to a max of 25Mbps because of the hardware, as experienced by my previous satellite setup it is definitely hardware-related described to me by the operators, thought at 25Mbps it's still great for calls.

    Since you're pretty much off the grid, I don't see any downsides in investing in a Tesla powerwall as well. The UPS can only keep a couple of devices running for a short amount of time, since it's made for PCs so you don't lose or corrupt your data...
    Tesla is pretty much selling products that can help people live more comfortably in a remote areas. Solar roofs, power wall, electric cars, then there's Starlink, which is also owned by Elon... Pretty much takes out electricity and internet out of the equation. Now you just need to think about food and water.

    Just to correct you opinion, latency in satellite is not about the amount of satellite, its the distace between satellite and the earth! The farther the satellite, the higher the latency. Since Starlink is in low orbit, the distance is shorter, latency is lower.

    Something to add, we purchased starlink but didn't have a place to set it up (sitting in Cebu City) so we canceled our service. we were able to get it re-established within an hour once we found a house outside of the city, so if people are coming over here for a few months at a time they could buy the system and cancel it when they leave then just get it going again once they are back.

    So sad hearing you spend bigger before the discount, but I am glad it's getting cheaper for everyone desperate for internet especially in the far flung islands. Starlink is better with VPN and solar power, and it is essential especially for typhoon-related news. The downside is that you need a debit card in order to pay monthly charges.
