$139 for what you get at those speeds is not bad, it's very good actually. Until Starlink all you could get in outback aus was satellite and that was horrid at 25mbps speeds at a cost of over $200 p/m and thats only couple years ago so Starlink in comparison is miles ahead. There's a reason why satellite mobs tried so hard to stop starlink from setting up here. Good video, thanks for sharing

In UK 20 to 80 MB or fiber to the cabinet is like 30 to 50 pound a month

We live in a remote village in the Japanese alps. Starlink was the only option and we were a bit skeptical to be honest. There were no setup instructions in the box, so if you have no way to get on the internet, it’s a bit of a catch 22 feeling. However, we muddled through it and actually created a secure network & password. But then we relocated the dish and that network name no longer appeared in our available wifi network list. There was only “starlink.” Doing a factory reset by unplugging and plugging in three times in rapid succession, we were able to recreate the lost network name.

Pretty much the same story here. I’ve done a similar install a few weeks ago and have found the same outcome. Looking to boost a bit further for some fringe areas with the Starlink router. No problems with the install or operation. The cost is ok for the speed and unlimited when you can’t access NBN and they geo lock you out of 5G for modems in Oz (can’t have a better service compete with NBN 🙄). Thanks for the video. I’m in a major Australian coastal city 2km from the old GPO and this is what I’ve ended up with. That says a lot about modern comms. Pretty happy with it.

Great straight foward review thank you. 👍🏆

Thank you for such a comprehsive video about Starlink. I am actually more interested on how you've mounted it on your garden shed? If you make a video on the tools, mounts etc that you've used - that would most helpful. Thank you!

Currently in Canada it's $105 for high speed internet, they don't have fiber optic here which would have been $80, and out internet speed is 1.5Mbps. If you feel that ~$140 is expensive, keep in mind what your options would have been if you did have them.

I'm getting 10mbps on our 'good' fibre connection here in Botswana, Gaborone. We're paying $45 per month for it. Really considering Starlink. I see the price for the hardware has dropped significantly; £185 without shipping for a used one on the official website and $40 for the Roaming service afterwards.

I've only had it for two days but going from regular satellite to Starlink is impressive to say the least. Set up is nonexistent. It's just plug and play. And It's faaast. Streams anything. No FOP limit (at least for now). The router thing covers everything in a 1700 sq ft house no problem. It's kind of magical.

Completely agree Ryan, having the same experience. Especially with the router weak signal. I’ve just received the adapter to add an Ethernet cable and am using our old modem/router and have put the Starlink modem into pass through mode. It’s not an ideal fix as a bit clunky to monitor Starlink now but does provide solid coverage through your house and gives us lots of ports to plug into our house as it’s wired up for internet. Speed is definitely in the 100-200 range in regional Vic where we are and still worked well in recent big storms.

Lmao best ending ever.

We have had starlink for about a month now. And it’s been pretty much flawless. I do a ton of gaming and my ping is usually around 17-40 depending on the server I’m pining to. It does get a hitch about every 3 hours and it says it will get it in the app via the obstructions tab. If I put up higher on a pole above the tree line that would go away but I’ve been pleased with how it’s worked the way it is.

It's going to keep getting better too ❤️

Thank you for sharing your point of view. You sound like you have better options than here in the USA. Starlink is way cheaper than AT&T here in Mobile, Alabama. I despise Musk as a person, but both the speed & quality of service from his Starlink is way better than the other options here - in addition to the much lower price.

Thank you for the review! Very helpful and to the point!

nice vid, I just ordered mine here in NZ, they had a deal on, $200 so thought I had better watch a review

We live in a part of West Virginia without any internet providers in this area for now. starlink is starting to look like the best option for us.

Germany here. I can choose between glass fibre clocking in at 100 Mbits for 55 € per Month and Starlink‘s current offer of 299 € for the hardware and 50 € for the monthly service. My little brother uses Starlink and reaches between 250 and 350 Mbit at any time and now I wonder, which should I choose?

Have you ever tried Live streaming with it before? Im very curious to know how that would work.

Starlink price for me is 140 canadian for monthly starlink sub... but thing is, my current ISP is a fixed internet provider and I only get speeds of around 5-8 mbit/sec download and pay 100 dollars a month. So I did order Starlink, and even if its only half as fast as it claims, i'm cancelling my crap current ISP. I may get another ISP as a backup to starlink also though, there is a cell internet option here as well but it's not as fast as starlink.

Overall people seem to have good experiences with Starlink. They must have good build quality because I'm not hearing a lot of flawed equipment.

internet plans in India may offer 100Mbps speeds for around $10 per month no equipment fees

good honest info thanks.

Hey Andrew, Starlink has been perfect for us working from home. Never had an issue with Teams or Zoom calls.

I was considering it for a WiFi internet system. I do have an NBNCo system thingy with the roof top disk on the house so maybe ditching Telstra and Netgear could be the way to go and beat that 900 dollar odd setup fee.

In Canada rural areas where we don't get internet besides one provider I am paying $80 a month for 5 mbps

Thank you for your video, I live 60 K's from Melbourne GPO and our NBN is atrocious and since the 2021 June storm we have lost a Telstra mobile tower which has left us with sketchy mobile service. At least with Starlink there is no middle man.

Price could come down eventually.... especially if Amazon's satellite internet is just as good, which is maybe coming out in a year or so. Worst case though... this is Amazon and these guys are sneaky fuckers and it wouldn't surprise me if they just price to match Starlink and don't offer any kind of competition in the end. Here in Canada we got like 2 large monopoly type ISPs, Bell and Rogers. They price many of their internet plans exactly to the dollar, even their month usage is identical to each other. Like this is collusion in plain sight but the don't even care cause the CRTC is so corrupt and under their boots as well there is no legitimate regulation. They have some how found a way to keep American cell companies out of Canada, making no competition basically... and therefore we got some awful speeds and high prices.

Bought it. Set it up. EASY. I have about a 10% obstruction low on the horizon and my connection sometimes drops out early in the morning before sunrise. The app only gave me orange results, and a red for gaming. Warcraft works perfectly :) I also had to order the LAN adapter to bypass the router...I need port forwarding. Its insanely fast- even approaching 400megbits sometimes. 30ms or less 5-18meg uplink... Better than cable. Im really impressed. My old Hughes 1.5mb downlink, dialup modem uplink dish is still on the roof for context- 30 years ago :)

That start up cost is the only thing stopping me from getting it

The speed changes are due to the alignment of the starlink system. Eventually he will get 100% coverage and zero bandwidth dropout

Can’t get ours to connect constant online/offline with maybe .2mbs

I set up my starlink with a name and password, that night all the devices in the house dropped starlink. In the morning my network name and password were gone and we could see “ starlink “ in the WiFi options, so I chose it, we have WiFi again but it is an “ unsecured network “ I can’t figure out how to secure it with a name and password again.

It doesn’t work without a power supply?

I have starlink and their wifi router is appalling, the 2.4ghz band keeps dropping devices or disappears altogether. What I did is bought an ASUS wifi router, and put the starlink router into a bypass mode.

I heard it doesn’t like facebook or instagram either is this true, maybe it’s the rivalry with musk and zucker?

You didn't mention how many other people in your area are also on StarLink, thus sharing the bandwidth. In the country side it probably wouldn't be a problem as long as you stay connected. Fortunately living in Hong Kong I don't need that service and we average 170 Mbps downloads and 10 Mbps uploads for about US$10/month.

Good day. Can you people help and come out with a sim card compatible with the antenna so as one can be using in the phone as you are moving. Thanks. I am in Cameroon.

i think starlink's bandwidth is bigger than an average household would need. So maybe 2 families can use 1 starlink and lighten the cost burden
