Thanks David! Really interested about StarLink for here in AUST! Seems at the moment their bandwidth 'client limits' (as you would expect) are WELL suited to Australia's wide distribution of users! I'm interested in it for data from remote outback areas of Aust! Love to see more info in non urban areas! Keep us posted!

Thanks for this really helps

How is the general experience? What do you reckon about using this technology at a camper van (stationary) here in Oz? I’ve heard that the test RV hardware in US.

Hi Alex. I think that Starlink solutions will change the landscape significantly. Performance is typically more than 200Mbps and currently the latency / ping is below 50ms. I don't really have a feel for when true mobility will happen, but if you have a fixed location it's good. I roam between locations but it's within 5km so I know I'm not really moving. Personally, I love this solution

I have a South facing top story balcony. Will it work for me? My condo will not allow me to put anything on the roof unfortunately.

The direction the unit moves depends on where in the world you are located (i.e. Northern or Southern Hemisphere). However, it actually needs a reasonably clear view of the sky, so a view from a balcony may suffer quite significantly from the wall.

What tripod mount is that, and has it been working well/sturdy in wind?

I use a speaker tripod. Works quite well for temporary solutions, but I had to strap it down overnight to make sure it worked well and kept steady...so probably not ideal for permanent use.

Have you tried using a helium miner with the starlink? I would love a video showing freedomFi sharing data through CBRS for cell phone users. I live in USA

Would you say 96% is good enough and not worth trying to improve I’ve got a couple of trees that are just catching the corner ?

Hi Jason! I think that depends on how you want to use the internet. Heavy gamers may want 100% reliability but casual users and streaming TV should be perfectly fine

@@Hiltsuk1 we use this system for our office. I purposely tried to break the system, and when it reports an outage once every 1 or 2minutes it causes some trouble on Teams meetings but for website and email ise it’s fine. If we ran oir VoIP phones through it I think we would have had difficulties on the phone with that reliability. However, I don’t know what the percentage is it reports so will have a look later today…

Nice test , Love the starlink, seems to be a surprisingly small cone in the direction the dish faces, you don't need 360 Degrees of clear area to install

What happens if you face the dish in a different direction?

The dish sets itself up, so will align to where it needs to go automatically

Yes it is. Why would you buy a sports car and only drive it in second gear?

Wouldn’t it be better to just place it on top of your house above the majority of trees down below?

Yes, it would indeed. This video was recorded when Starlink was still pretty new. We learned a lot since then.
