Are you living in a country where the internet sucks? Well I don't know about you, but I'm sick of paying top dollar for poor service, slow speeds, and frustrating customer 'service'. Here's an opportunity to leave all that behind with Starlink, a global internet provider with a totally wireless system linked by an impressive array of satellites. But - does it really work? How much does it cost, and how fast are the speeds? Is it hard to install? I'll be answering all these questions and more, as I unbox and test the system! Living in a country where the internet sucks is no laughing matter, but let's see if Starlink can put a smile back on my face ...

Hope everything works out. I got a new idea for ya if you havent yet.. do a video on ladyboys and how that effects the phillipines amd thailand/ culture.
Fiber optic is EXTREMELY delicate work. It's also horrifyingly expensive. It's gotten cheaper since we've streamlined it's production, but back when I was first starting in computers a 50 meter line of it would go for about 2000 dollars (100,000 pesos).
So beautiful 😍. So smart, your words are so clever. 🌹❤️
Your most excited unboxing since delivery of your sex toy which of course you didn't show us, just dropped hints while doing laundry.
A antenna on roof for internet can help too for data internet. I use for my cellphone internet because it's hard to receive signal inside home. Sometimes.
You are not the first Starlink unboxing and starting up video, but you are the most 'untechnical' and 'enthusiastic' one I have seen this far. Kudos to you Pea. 😎
Thanks, Paul! I guess I found a new niche - ‘Tech for non-techies’ 👍👍🤣
The Pea RUUUULES ! 🤗
For the electrical outage problem, get yourself a UPS (uninterruptible power supply). It's like having a batter backup for any electrical devices plugged into it. Plug the starlink and your laptop plugs into the UPS and it should stay up and running for hours before needing to be recharged.
That sounds like a winning setup, Napoleon 👍👍
Comes free in the us
I would recommend a pure sine wave UPS because the modified sine wave models are bad for electronics.
@@TheFilipinaPea hi Pea. Is it appropriate in your Culture to go into detail about the coming day Nov.1 - 2 as an educational video that's done in a more in-depth way?
@@TheFilipinaPea he may have said laptop when he meant router. Your laptop already has a battery. A UPS is like one of musk's power walls but a micro version. The higher the wattage the longer it should last. Keep in mind that it is powering low wattage electronic devices ; even a room fan would draw the UPS down faster than your electronic devices. You can buy a power strip and plug in a lot of low power things. You can plug in lamps with led bulbs. A small tv too but it will just draw it down faster but it would probably last over an hour unless you got a hi power UPS which would probably last several hours. Learn the wattage of your devices. Some devices list the startup watts which are much higher so i suggest you google them to learn the running watts. Use nothing that creates a change in temperature: hair dryer, hair curler, toaster, a/c, frig. I wonder if your landline Internet would have continued working if you had had a ups powering your router during power outage. But it could be that the Internet's power would also go out unless it had its own power or built-in ups. Prior to internet, most phones would continue working when a hurricane caused a power outage because the pre-internet phone lines had an independent power system. You can get a 2nd ups if you like. Cost is higher for pure sine wave and for the size of the built-in battery. These micro UPSs became common in the US to prevent computers from having catastrophic failures due to power interruptions in the middle of critical operations. FYI, in future I think you can mount that antenna on a pole.
My son has Starlink in north Cebu and loves it . Before my wife passed in 2020 we use to use local internet and it stunk . I don’t go back to the Philippines any longer as i am now 80 and gave all the assets to the children since no wife any longer we were married 40 years. But i loved spending at least 5 months a year there for 40 years .
Can you tell me where he purchased it? I’d like to install on my fiancée’s parents home…
Pea, this was an incredibly timely video. My wife is in the Philippines, supervising construction of our house. We will eventually need to set up Internet service, and I need high-speed broadband so I can work remotely, handle international banking, etc. I hadn't even thought of Starlink. Besides work and banking, there are other implications for satellite Internet--such as information during typhoons, earthquakes, zombie outbreaks, etc. One person with a working satellite system might mean the difference between life and death for a whole bunch of neighbors.
A few points from a homeowner and electrician:
1. If you can't anchor the dish to the roof, bolt it to a half sheet of plywood and then pile a bunch of sandbags on the plywood. That'll anchor it while still allowing the antenna to be unmounted and brought inside when necessary. I would not attach it to a sheet metal roof. That antenna will act like a sail and start loosening the roof panels.
2. Solar panels are a great idea, and the systems used on motor homes will work nicely. Make sure the charge controller is set for the proper type battery (get this wrong and you will destroy batteries or end up with a battery fire). 200 watts of solar panels keep my motor home batteries charged even in Washington State.
3. I'd want a good quality clean power source for all the computer equipment. I sent my wife to the Philippines with a cheap 220-110 volt power converter, and it's already failing. She just bought one of those countertop transformers that are so common in the Philippines, and it is going to do a much better job of keeping dirty electrical power from damaging her electronics. If you have 220 volt equipment that is made for the Philippines, I'd still power it from a 220-220 transformer or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Anyway, thanks for the Starlink tip. That neatly solves what was going to be a tough problem.
True. Also a Construction Electrician.
If there is a typhoon between you and the satellite, I'd imagine you would lose service.But, should be fine once it passes.
I’m so glad if I pointed out a possible solution 👍👍
And thanks for all the tips 😊
Right. I’ve doubled up for my Starlink : everything in the house is powered up by 2 redundant batteries charged by solar panel with a gazoline engine backup.
@@TheFilipinaPea see, you just made a sale for Elon. I really think he should give you some kind of compensation. 🙂
50ish mbps to 250ish is a game changer. Also, dropping your video upload time from three hours to about fifteen minutes is massive 👌 .
It’s incredibly time-saving, yes 👍👍👍
Love to see you so excited and happy lovely Pea! What a great thing for a space nerd to get! Great to see that your workload has dropped like a stone with reliable, fast connection! Enjoy! 🗼❤️🥰
So far so good, Glen! 👍👍
This video was definitely on time ! Thank you very much. My wife lives in the province and rarely has internet. When I'm there it's frustrating to try to get any work done. I thought about Starlink. Your video convinced me this is our best option. And easy to set up !
So very easy to set up, yes 👍👍👍😊
Thank you for this unboxing.
I had heard about the internet reliability problems there and was hopeful that this would be a viable solution. You just did the proof of concept for me :)
It is a good option. We received ours in March as soon as it was available. It works very well and is highly reliable. We're in Aklan. webcam.gemar.org/download/20230430_114556_0084.jpg
It does seem to be a solution, at least for me 👍👍
Hello Pea. Very interesting and informative about Starlink. Most people world wide are always looking for a faster, cheaper and reliable internet service and this sounds like it fits the bill. Your illustration was simple and to the point. Have a great weekend and will be interesting to see what Satellite Installation Pea installs next. 📡
Thanks Ronnie 👍
I like to keep it simple - sometimes 🤣
@@TheFilipinaPeaHow about Helium routers ? I heard you can earn by sharing wifi signal
@@TheFilipinaPea pea have some get 400 mbs download now due to new 2.0 mini and 40 upload elon in time have 1 gb down load and 100 meg upload.
Great subject. Glad you got your starlink up and running. Congrats! Good info for peeps thinking about relocating to The P.I..
Hello Pea!.. Congratulations!.. I hope your Starlink service continues to brings joy and happiness.. I’m going to have to look into this..
Great topic! Starlink has been in my mind since I "heard about Philippines"!
When it went on sale, I jumped at the chance - and I hear prices and monthly subscriptions will slowly drop as more people subscribe 👍
Pea, I would highly suggest if holes were drilled through the roof that you have all the screws removed, squart or apply caulk in the holes and around the opening. Then put the screws back in to hold the antenna down. This should stop any rain water from entering the holes and causing problems. Trust me water will find its way in if it can.
Thanks Shornak, and you’re absolutely right!
Fortunately, I was able use two preexisting bolts that fastened the sheet metal, so I didn’t need to make any new holes, and I added caulking around the bolt holes 👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea You need to read carefully bolt holes at first I was like WHATTTTT????
*Yay! Good for you Pea!* Starlink has been growing rapidly. It would be a must to have this likely-to-be expat in PI.
Yes I seen Starlink in The Armstrong Family video months and months ago in North-Western Luzon, glad to see it’s working for u too..👍😊
Good morning Pea! Just something for you to consider, Honda makes a small generator that might fit your needs. It’s not heavy, it’s quiet since it was designed for rv’s. Lasts about 8 hours on a tank of gas. Best of all the cost is reasonable. Have a great time playing with your new connection ❤️❤️❤️
does the Honda small generator have a replaceable oil filter?
I've actually had the harbor freight tools small generator and it did great it's just I felt the need to change the oil frequently because it has no oil filter.
That sounds perfect, Michael 👍👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea the harbor freight tools generator that I mentioned might be a bit louder than Honda but you could easily stand beside it and carry on a conversation. Honda does make a good engine though. if you buy something look for something that's easy to maintain by easily draining the oil and possibly a filter for longer intervals between oil changes. if you don't change the oil regularly it just won't last.
A portable solar generator is another option.
What is the size of the tank of gas? Thanks
I have been waiting patiently for Starlink to hit the Philippines. It's going to be a game changer for expats who still need to work remotely as well as Filipinos in the online teaching industry. Thanks so much for this video.
Fr tho. I’m trying to secure remote work and live in the Philippines myself
Thank you for doing this request.
My extended family there in Manila and in Bulacan will love this episode.
Thank you.
I hope it can help them 👍👍👍
Glad you brought Starlink to my attention, I need this at my place at our ranch, heck my phone doesn't work out there, you are always full of surprises, it's why soo may people love you
I’m so glad to help, Jerry 👍👍👍
Yay Pea! Hopefully now you can have an easier time with your uploads and consistency with the Starlink, I look forward to seeing what you have coming up, know it will be very enjoyable for the viewers and you as well 🤟🏽
If this makes my life easier, all I can say is “Thanks Elon!” 🤣❤️👍
Congrats on the Starlink setup. As others have already posted, a generator is pretty much a must have over there.
Agreed, Bob 👍👍👍👍👍
Hurray!
🎉🎊🎈🧨🎇🎆
Congratulations, Pea! So happy for you!
👏👏👏
Thanks Brady! Now I can really get down to work 👍👍👍
I hope your Starlink works as well as mine does in the States! Pea going to be pumping out content with lightning speed 😁
How fast is it there, Jason? 👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea My speed is about the same as yours. It's great!
Thanks Pea:) Starlink is a game changer for a lot of places. And for power backup I would recommend a solar system with battery storage. The Generator is cheaper at first but in the long run is more expensive and requires much more attention and maintenance.
Thanks Bravo! I do need to get some sort of backup 👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea My pleasure Pea. What you want to look for is a 'Home Solar Power kit with battery and inverter'. I'm sure there is someone in Duma who can give you advice, size a system for you and install it.
You can go with a portable system of permanent install. If you choose a whole house system your house is new, so your wiring is new and that's a big plus. And if I remember correctly your roof is flat, that will make install of the panels much easier too.
And yea the price can seem steep at first, but think of it as an investment, not a one time cost because the benefits last for years. The up side is you will have energy security, never have a brown out again and your monthly electricity bill will be much lower... or no bill at all if you go off grid.
You are always very fun to watch. And your skits always bring a smile to my face whenever I’m too wrapped up in work and life. Thank you for just being you. 🌹🌹🌹
And thank you for being someone that understands my goofiness 🤣❤️❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea I not only understand it I appreciate it, it’s very refreshing and pleasant and I’m sure I’m not the only one who enjoys watching your antics. I’m sure when you get into a relationship that your significant other will definitely get a lot of enjoyment just from your normal goofiness. Your ocd and perfectionism might drive them crazy but the rest of the package that is you will definitely keep them happy. Hahaha 🤣. I’m sorry you didn’t make it to Maryland for some good Maryland seafood, while you were here. Have a great night Ms. Pea sleep well 😴.
Thank you, Pea. I've been thinking of getting a Starlink system for my family in the Philippines and you'v answered many of my questions!
Starlink was pretty good to me out in the farm country of Arizona -- until Uncle Elon raised its price on me this year and lowered the speed at the same time. I started being charged tens of dollars more for being in a rural location, but my 'rural location' has fiber internet available for a fifth of the price, so my decision was obvious.
Glad that it has rolled out to the Filippines, though! I hope it serves you well!
Sounds like Uncle Elon is catching "Monopoly-itis."
@@KutWriteno, it's actually trying to handle the load. As good as Starlink is, it is better for SL if people that can use terrestrial solutions (fiber, cable modem, etc.). There is limited bandwidth available and if you live in an area with many users, increasing the price is a way to moderate users so that speed doesn't have to suffer.
@@lennygemar1021: If so, it's funny that this "solution" involves more money rolling into Musk's large pockets.
I am out in rural Pinal. I paid 650 for the kit and now well over 100 a month for little to no service. century link is awful and slow but it works.
Yes, it’s so much more expensive there for some reason 😳
Congrats on acquiring your new technology Starlink. It was nice that you were actually able to see a launch of multiple satellites. Before Space X many rockets contained the one satellite and they were huge. Many satellites are archaic ans Starlink has smaller satellites with state of the art new technology. You should have great service for years to come and the technology will only get better. Now if they can only make Hollywood quality editing downsized and avsilable to the masses. It is on its way.
I bet is really is on the way 👍👍👍❤️
I think the STARLINK satellites are simply reflective discs. The technology today is mind blowing to this guy who grew up without an internet and for years had a 300 baud modem!
@@dngrwllrbnsn_ Your probably right. Possible something similar. So mething good to research and the emergent technology. Like you I am a blast from the past. I worked at KSC in 1978 and 1979. The computer for first space shuttle was an IBM 370 and all of the programming and system analysis was done with key punched cards. The back up computer was a Honeywell 2926 Cathode Ray Tube driven computer and the technicians would replace tubes as they went out and many did. These were the tubes use in TVs in the 1960s -1980s. I wrote all of the program simulations for the cameras adjacent to look launch pads 39A and 39B. The end result was the speed and angles to follow the shuttle but the different variables were in a complex multiple regression analysis. I did those on a PDP11 magnetic tape driven computer and they used those programs until the end of the shuttle program because they knew they worked and it would have taken over a year to replicate on new state of the art computers at the time. I was bored working there after finishing that work.
@@RCFSULAW Dude, that is WAY COOL! Thank you for sharing that. You must have done an excellent job. I never heard of any major computer glitches with the Shuttle Program. Did the Russians steal your code like they did the mostly public shuttle design plans to build "their own" shuttle?
@@RCFSULAW Ooh, modern technology! I learned coding from a PDP-11 and paper tape, and microcomputing from a 6502 and audiotape (until the floppies came out). Worked on a 360 as late as 2001, when IBM refused to provide any more support for that HW/SW configuration. Along the way, programmed on Amdahl #1 and Amiga 1000/2000, that sold years later for more than the original price. Now, I do bargain basement AI using all the tools: Foxpro, because it's faster, Python, because I can code faster, and 2011 hardware because I can.
But I never applied to NASA, as far as I know (one job was gov, but they never disclosed the TLA). That rocket coding was absolutely amazing. My unique coding was a 6502 voder/vocoder that used the audio port for input/output/storage. It did a great organ, but voice/string instruments a general fail, as the hardware couldn't do the necessary. On paper, fast enough, but sounded like a Geiger counter.
Pea,
I am so impressed with how tech savvy you are. Good job.👏 ❤
So in other words, I have you fooled?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Vernon ❤️
Excellent, informative video! I have been thinking about getting a Starlink here in Central America, we have similar connectivity issues here.
Thank you, Pea!
😍😘🥰
Please give it a try! It’ll eventually pay for itself 👍👍👍
Hi Pea, well this was certainly a different update. I have faster broadband speeds where I live however I am in the city. I think Starlink is certainly great though for areas without reliable high speed internet. Presumably you’ll still lose access during brownouts but at least you’ll be able to upload faster when you have power
In my case, it’s an option worth investigating 👍😊
Nicely presented, without any hint of sounding like a commercial ....great informative video....always leading the pack.
Thanks Rogue! I wanted people to know this was a completely unbiased opinion and review 👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Yep, telling it like it is!
thanks for sharing, I was already thinking about checking Starlink out in the future. Glad it worked out for you, I'll definitely purchase when I move outside of Metro Manila.
If you get too far out in the provinces, you might just need it 👍👍👍
I'm happy for you, Pea. Congratulations 😊
Awesome job Pea, they need to make it more available price for people in the Philippines
👍👍👍👍
I'm not sure if you run a power conditioner but if you don't, I would highly recommend it. The energy coming out of your power lines has a very rough sine wave and not to mention like you said, it cycles multiple times a week. Those power surges will destroy your electronics over time. You can solve all these problems by getting something like a Jackery kit which has a power bank with a built-in inverter that can produce a pure sine wave and portable solar panels to maintain the charge. Also just like your Starlink, it's all portable so you can take it on location when you shoot away from home.
The advice of a surge protector is valuable. No one wants to fry their electronics after spending so much money and getting so much use.
A Jackery kit? I need to investigate that - thanks!! 👍👍
All you need is a surge protector. Some extension cord has a built-in surge protector or you can use the one that plugs directly to an outlet.
@@edmhie1 a surge protector doesn't do anything to condition the power and provides no backup when there are outages. Not to mention if there are continuous surges, it will render the protector useless after a couple of times. Basically you think you have protection but you really don't.
Great video Pea. Really happy to see it working great as I’m going to get the same thing. Thanks.
I bet you’ll be happy with it 👍👍👍
Good Morning Pea ! Great Video! You are doing an awesome job! Thank you for sharing ! 😊
Thanks Pvogt! 😊👍
Hi pea
You know it's such a coincidence you covered this subject as I was looking at getting starlink last week for my apartment in dumaguete. Great minds think alike 😊 I missed the sale price 😢it's 30k now.
30k? Darn it! Don’t worry, it’ll go on sale again 👍👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Can you inform your viewers when it goes on sale again?
I think this is your first review part one pea are you going to do a 3 or 6 month update on how it goes with the star 🌟 link? ..... still pea you have a awesome system 😎 and you really look static and super happy in the video ,,,, now you need the battery pack inverter for the electronics..
Awesome birthday gift 🎁 that iz the best 👌 system yet that I know of internet wise good choice ❤😊
Yes, if the speeds vary much, or if there are problems with the unit, I’ll report them 👍👍
Hey Ms Pea. Another super informative and helpful videos. Thanks for sharing and take care always! 🙂
Thanks OnCall! Maybe it’ll help someone find a solution 👍👍
Thanks Pea. I live in Junction Luna in the extreme northern tip of Cagayan Province. We have Converge fiber but it's constantly going out for hours at a time. Been thinking about getting Starlink and you and your video just sealed the deal!
I hope it might be the answer, Ironman! Yes, sometimes my service was good, but then it either dropped completely, or became so slow that it was unusable 😢
Hey! Who pushed that box into the movie set? Your going all high tech Ms. Pea and I'm impressed with your special effects making that big Star Link box slide right in like a home run!... heheheee
Well y’see, I put magnets in the box, and had magnets glued to the back of my hand
🤣🤣🤣
Impressive!
You can secure it to the roof with hollow blocks or cement bags, or bolt it to a sheet of plywood and then pile dirt, rocks or anything heavy on it.
Ahhhhh, good tip!! 👍👍👍
Always happy to see you Pea 🚀 😘❤️
I'm glad you got Starlink, not sure if my comment a while back on one of your movies inspired you to get this but regardless, good choice and have fun
With the prospect of moving to PH, this is by far one of my biggest concerns as I would have to work remotely and a reliable Internet connection is a necessity. I'm very interested to see how this performs.
Same for me. Might I ask what industry allows you to qork remotely? I will be retired but extra cash couldnt hurt.
I'm 78 yeras old and my Filipina wife is 24 years old we are building our house in Dauin almost complete, the house cost $300,000 USD, I'm happy I will move her family inside our house and her sisters and brothers.
@@eddieBoxer The whole family, with you? Good luck bud, you're going to need it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If there are any major changes in the service, I’ll report ‘em 👍👍
You can do any kind of video you want, I love watching every single one of your videos no matter what it is. You are so wonderful. I'm so happy you got a new toy and I'm glad that it's easier for you now.
Starlink is actually pretty good for what it is. I can see it being better than many other options there.
The problem is the LEO satellites that can't maintain orbit & fall back to earth requiring every satellite to have to be replaced every 3-5 years. A large number of them don't even last that long.
I love these type of videos from you they're so much more personal and shows more of your personality it's You're really awesome
Well I’m glad you enjoyed it, Brandon 👍😊
Love mine, one of the greatest inventions so far. Will have the solar and propane generator installed by the first of the year so won't be any worries for me after that. Glad ya got it, I mentioned it a few months back. Glad you will be very happy with it Ms. Pea.
Also, did ya know there is a mobile Starlink as well? Just mount it on your vehicle and take Starlink with you it will track the SAT while you are driving down the road. anywhere in the PI, I know that will be very welcome there as well.
You did a fantastic job setting it up on your own Pea.
Thanks George! It was so easy 👍👍👍
Here in the States, we have broadband, wifi, satellite, and fiber optics. The problem we have is depending on where you live in the US will generally depend on which service provider for that service. And where they get you are all the fees which add the basic cost along with the various taxes. But this was a great video. I hope the system works well with you. At least you didn't get instructions written by engineers for engineers lol
I live between upstate NY and Leyte Philippines. My Internet is way faster in the Philippines
It was the easiest ‘manual’ I’ve ever used - that diagram was all I needed 🤣👍
I have starlink in the USA. It is fantastic.
@puppyupper4565 I recently retired from Florida and moved to Jamaica. Starlink is available here, and I think I will order it before the day is over.
Basic monthly subscription: US$54.69
Hardware: US$391.59
S/H: US$22.85
Total start-up cost: US$469.13
@@bigtoolgarry I have to pay 120 monthly. How do you like Jamaica? Is it safe?
Great video Pea. I’ll be looking into starlink soon for my home in Mindanao.
Beautiful makeup too
Yes, areas of Mindanao have less than great service 👍👍
(I actually wasn’t wearing makeup, so double-thanks!)
This answered all my questions! Thank you Pea and happy new year. 😊🙏🏻
Pea, most satellite services prior to Starlink were not unlimited data like Hughes Net. If you were streaming you could use your allotment in one weekend like Globe wifi and have to spend more. If reliability is only based on power this is fantastic. I wish there was a way to install in my condo. Maybe the balcony. I like the no longterm contracts. Fiber in Cebu requires a two year contract.
Exactly! No contracts, no waiting at the Globe Store for hours, no constant emails, advertisements, and irritating text messages five times a day - I love it 👍🤣
@@TheFilipinaPea ❤️
I have Starlink here in the United States in Florida and during our wet season each day I’ll have some drop off of signal usually for a very short time only when the clouds are really bad or there’s a lot of crashing thunder but it’s overall been a pretty good system to haveyou’re getting a bargain over there because we pay $120 per month here and had to pay $695 to buy the unit
This is a price inversion of electronics. Most consumer electronics cost a lot more in the Philippines than in the US. I believe it's because of Ph high import duties (even though shipping from China would be like almost no cost!). That 120USD is high. OUCH.
Wow, that’s expensive service there 😳👍
Awesome video Pea! I've been a subscriber for a long time and I totally appreciate your efforts in making these enjoyable and entertaining. I think starlink is a great idea! I'm a Canadian living in Zambia and have the same problem here. Recently Zambia now has access to starlink, so after watching your program, I think I will do the same! Thank you for providing such excellent and informative videos. Looking forward to the next one 🤗👀🤩
Thanks Robert, and try to get it on sale (they have sales occasionally) 👍👍
Thank you Pea. It was a very good with all the technical information delivered in a straight forward thorough manner. You'll have to follow up once you find your best antenna location and you've had it for awhile. What ping times do you get to sites within your country and without? Also how consistent and reliable is the service over time? Finally, I enjoy technical videos so much more when the hostess radiates charisma and honesty like you do.
Super happy for you, hope it keeps working reliably and that the pricing stays reasonable!
It is a terribly unequal world we are living in, and bad internet access is of course only one of a myriad factors robbing hundreds of millions of people of opportunity. But still, it's actually really touching to see what a big impact this has for you, and I hope it can help many others too.
It sure will make my life easier 👍👍👍❤️
I really wanted to choose Philippines to move to in a few weeks, but internet and power reliability are important to me. I have spent most of my life moving all over the world, so the internet has become something I rely on daily. Because of this, I am headed to Thailand instead sadly, but may bounce on over if things ever improve. That or the American Veterans Affairs (VA) makes me move as they are actually set up in the Philippines from what I understand.
By 2025-2026 the apricot and bifrost submarine cables will be connected to the Philippines and will be some of the best in the world.
Great video. Thanks! Good luck going forward with this!!!!
Thanks MD 😊😊😊👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Please let us all know how it is using it going forward and if/when you get that generator! Keep up the great videos!!
Welcome to Starlink family (Starlink Roam here) and I use it everywhere I travel within the Philippines (the look of people when they see my car roof rack and Starlink receiver is priceless)
Hi Pea
...and always let the ads play
Always! To do otherwise would be … illogical 🤣👍
Life's always a joy when unboxing stuff. Make sure you remove the plastic of the remote.
Filipinos always leave their plastic on 👍
(but I take it all off) 🤣🤣

Wow! Thanks for the review, Pea. Very informative!!
Thanks Nateo! 👍👍👍❤️😊
Filipina Pea, after seeing to self-install your Starlink satellite dish I feel much better my ability to do the same.
Love your natural enthusiasm regardless wherever you are and whatever you do.😉
Can’t wait to see you Netflix and chill in subsequent videos.
See you soon! Joe
Thanks Joe! And yes, if I can do it, anyone can 👍👍😊
People ask me how to get an AFAM and I tell them having with good internet connection is a huge advantage!
It is indeed 👍🤣
Starlink is one of the most amazing things to happen to the world in a while. Elon's idea to give everyone internet via satellite is both bold and dearly needed. Much like you said earlier, even if you're on a island, you will still get satellite internet at amazing speeds without worrying about weak infrastructure - just so long as you have power. In fact, as this idea grows, just about anyone anywhere will be able to hook up with all humanity by plugging into the literal sky. How cool is that? And yes, I've seen SpaceX launch a few times and it's so pretty, partly cause it's making history.
And now he is working on satellite cell phone service - not the old style super expensive service needing special equipment - the regular cell phone connects to satellite without need for towers, service. This is possible because the satellites they are placing are in a much lower earth orbit, allowing phones to actually reach without a major antenna. How cool is that? =)
The downside is that the satellites ruin optical astronomy and disrupt earth's protective magnetic field against solar & space radiation. No field, no life!
@@billtay1963 The problem is the LEO satellites that can't maintain orbit & fall back to earth requiring every satellite to have to be replaced every 3-5 years. A large number of them don't even last that long. The only benefit to starlink over other satnets is latency, unless you're a gamer that's not really important.
@@commoguru actually used it for the military and it’s a game changer during military operations. That latency reduction makes a world of difference. Plus they are more jam resistant than the typical net we used before.
Satellite is vulnerable to storms...the Phillipines is known for having lots of rain...hopefully that works for you.
Watching you makes me happy !
I couldn’t ask for more 👍😊
This was a genuine video and funny. You stretching on your tippy toes to scan the skyline with your phone was funny. Thanks for sharing your excitement.
The original satellite dishes were 20 feet in diameter and considered an eyesore. They were originally so expensive that only the very rich in the beginning had satellite TV. I had to write a new ordinance to regulate satellite dishes for location on property, methods to block visibilty from roadways and neighbors and establish acceptable decorative vegetation that could become opaque in a year. Now it looks like it could be placed in so many places on your property and it is movable for optimum performance. Next comes the generator for back up power for Starlink and Lucy's K Dramas
This was before cable TV. Even before HBO. lol Something most people nowadays don't even know about. You could get TV channels from all over America. Problem was. It was all the same TV shows just different call letters for different areas. But when a regular TV antenna didn't help in any way, these worked great just to watch TV. Then when they came out with cable TV, and satellite companies like Dish. You'd see the giant old dishes rusting in the back yards.
@@danor6812 What your describing is boosting relying on certain stations going from one large antenna to the next. I know in Miami we got WGN from Chicago, TBS from Atlanta and WOR from New York. It was great during baseball season and they had reruns of all of the old shows. TBS had professional wrestling NWA and Ladies Roller Derby. Both were very popular in the 60s and 70s. What stations did you get and where did you live? I would imagine a more centralized state got more TV stations.
@@RCFSULAW Right, that's what I was saying. You got TV stations from all over the place. But the majority of channels you got were still NBC, CBS, and ABC. Along with local stations from other areas. So you had a chance to watch the same TV shows on a majority of the stations you received.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Let the K-dramas begin!
That is awesome sista. You are now unofficially an Elon's gal. Lol. I might have to buy one if I want to live in the Philippines. We are spoiled in Florida. My comcast run over 500 Mbps
You’re in Florida, Jimbo? 😳
I thought you were on the west coast!
I would’ve wanted to meet you when I was there, maybe do a video with you 😢
@@TheFilipinaPea Yes! I saw you are in Orlando but I was working. I'm about 2 1/2 hours from Orlando. I'm planning to visit Dumaguete next year and hopefully to meet you, Paul, Mark and others. We'll catch up. :)
That was awesome and I'm so happy for ya pea , you're the best!!!!
Well thanks, Possum! 😊😊👍
Hi Pea. Good luck with your new Starlink. I have been using PLDT since I moved here in January. I have the fiber optic and the only time my internet goes down is if they are doing maintenance, or if there is a brown out. I live in Bacong and most brown outs only last 15 minutes unless it is a scheduled brown out for the day. Also I am on the bottom floor of an apartment building so putting anything on the roof would be a challenge. Keep smiling and stay safe
I remember back in the day when I was happy getting 56kbps. Things have certainly improved.
Pea, you have to know Elon watches your videos, everyone does!
That would truly be an honor 👍
I wish 😊
❤
You’re early, Killer! 👍👍😊
Looking good as usual, love the ear rings. They match you nicely.
Well thanks, SPM 👍❤️😊
@@TheFilipinaPea trust me, the pleasure was all mine.
Awesome Pea. I'm im Puerto Galera. Brownouts twice week are normal and as a UA-camr for 4 months now it takes me hours and hours too upload.
Aiming at Starlink as a solution. Thanks so much.
Pea:
Elon should give you free service for this awesome advertisement!
This is a great video for many reasons. Seeing how easy it is to set up, install, and run the newest internet provider available in the Philippines may inspire a rush of sales for the Philippines. After they can afford the initial costs which sound pretty steep for the average Filipino with consideration to the minimum wage and respective cost of living, this seems like a very viable option for more enjoyable experience for streaming and communication uses in your country.
I'm glad that your new internet speeds are going to streamline your wait time in the processing of your videos, and increase the quality of your online interviews, allowing you the option to do more of them if you so choose. This new faster internet is definitely going to give you more time, and options to expand your channel's impact and growth. Congratulations on the Pea 2.0 version of "the Filipina Pea Show"!
This new internet service you have is going to feel like "AWESOME SAUCE!" for the first few months, once you find a way around the power outages, then it's going to be Pea Unstoppable!
I’d be happy if Elon would just say hello (and not mention my shower doors) 🤣👍
@@TheFilipinaPea I thought that part was really funny. You really should do a stand up comedy routine. If you need help writing one, I'm here for you.
First the tesla in the US...now starlink....Pea is going full Elon....i think we lost her.😂
If only he’d call me 🤣🤣🤣
Pea, you are so creative and funny! Always good to get a chuckle out of your videos 😊
I’m glad you think so, Kevin! 👍👍
I am very happy for you with Starlink! Nothing like having a speedy strong signal! You know the cruise ships are using Starlink these days for the guests. Strong reliable signal and not as expensive as the old methods! You Go Girl!!
On cruise ships? What a great idea 👍👍
I hope Starlink has addressed the power consumption issue with their ground stations. The early generation systems consumed huge amounts of power and produced enough waste heat that northern US users didn't need to clean snow or ice from their ground antennas. With power costs in PH, I could see this becoming another expense.
For my Fiance's family, it is costing about 800 peso a month in electricity. It is getting a lot of use so rarely goes into low power mode during the day.
I’ll find out soon enough 👍👍😳
The sound the Starlink made when it clicked/clunked together. I bet that sounded and felt so good. Excellent ASMR
I was a very solid, satisfying feel and sound, yes 👍👍😊
You don’t understand how much I appreciate this video ❣️
Well I sure do appreciate your watching 👍🤣
Very informative! Thankyou Pea from SRQ
Thanks so much, Ronald 👍👍
Who can't love her, she is so adorable and cute providing great information that's helping others. when I go to the Philippines, I would like to have a cup of coffee or tea with her and thank her for all of her fun fact full content here on the UA-cam, and I'm glad you got this set up .
Great info, thanks for sharing Pea. I plan on living part time in the Philippines with my Filipina, this is so helpful for our future digital life to experience, fast internet speeds for uploading and downloads of content.
Great video! Thanks for sharing every step of the process, including the app screens and selections.
Thanks for watching 👍😊
Thank you so much, dear Pea! You're swiping out of the way one of my hesitations as to concretize ideas about coing (and staying 😉 in the Philippines), as I, in my business, simply depend on being connected...! I thought of Starlink, yes - but as new technologies usually suffer from early-stage issues, I wondered whether already it works - you deliver THE answer to the question! Thanks!🙂
You’re so welcome, Procon! And I think the service will continue to improve 👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Thanks! ... my name is Marcus, b.t.w. ... 😉
thank you for this video! I shared it with all my Filipino friends.
Happy for you, Pea! Best wishes for you!
Thanks HR! So far so good 👍👍
I didn't know anything about Starlink or satellite internet until your video. I still remember doing a SatCom setup like that back in 1989 when I was in the Navy.
It sure has changed since then! Now it’s quick and easy 👍
We got Starlink a month ago. I wish I had seen this video then! The best location for the antennae is 200 feet from our house, so we had to buy an extender (from Starlink) to boost the signal to our computers and TV. For power outages, get a universal power supply (UPS). It will store many hours of power and you just keep the modem plugged into it. Good video, Pea!
Tech pea who knew another great video thanks for the info and the laughs sweetie hope life is treating you good much love ❤❤❤
Thanks Mallynn! It’s so easy even I could do it 👍👍❤️😊
i love your professionalism and your poise. Amazing talent!
Super informative and almost oddly therapeutic to watch. For us in the United States, I think that starlink probably remains a expensive option when you have so many reliable cabled services. Currently I pay 1500 pesos per month in the US for Comcast cable and and it serves all of my needs. In your situation, the Philippines internet is messy, and I completely think you found the proper solution for yourself. Great job. Very informative to watch the set up process and again very therapeutic to watch this video. It might be nice to share a follow-up video on how you feel about the service after month or two!
Thanks RW! And yes, I think it’s just right for me 👍👍
Awesome content Pea. Wifey and I are setting up our Archery business back in the P.I., and Starlink looks to be a winner in our eyes, as we will be vloging our classes, and archery activities. No more worries for waiting on potential down times while uploading content😇🙏 Thanks Dear 👍
👍👍👍 🎯
