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.

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

@@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'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.

@SixthDayRanch

2 жыл бұрын

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!

Gosh damn! I'm sold!! In the middle of the California desert I get 3-5 mb down and .3 up.

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

@SixthDayRanch

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.

Awesome!
