STARLINK - 6 Months After : My Updated Review
Ғылым және технология
My review of Starlink after using it for the past 6 months. In this video I discuss my experience under the following headings:
- Durability
- Speed
- Performance when it's raining
- Pricing
- User Experience

Sorry, that will be 2.4GHz and 5GHz, not 4G and 5G. Thanks 😊
Honestly one of the best reviews, a lot of people spoke down on this some months back and havent followed up! Thanks

Can it be used by multiple people at the same time
Nice for the info. So, do you use the roam service? I mean when you are away from home are you able to use the service on your mobile? I read it works up to 15miles away Kindly confirm
For those living in rural areas that don't have access to either fast cable broadband or fiber broadband. Using a service like Starlink could very well be the only choice if they want internet access at a decent speed. But the monthly cost for the service will be more than your typical home broadband over cable or fiber.

We live in rural areas. We have fiber optic internet but it's 32 dollars a month. And it's maximum speed is 30mbps.. but it shuts down when there is a power interruption 😊
it's not 5G and 4G, it's 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz wifi signals. Different frequencies and range. For Wifi, 5Ghz is better but covers only a small area and doesn't so well when there's a wall. The 2.4Ghz is the common option everywhere and covers a wider range/area.

Hello, thanks for your review. I have a quick question. Is the N38000 plan responsible for your >100mbps speed?
@xxviwells2787

Yes, you can get that speed. But the speed doesn't stable. You can test your speed get 110mbps then, try it again get 55mbps or 140mps. But generally you will enjoy the speed.

Weather doesn't effect my Starlink at all. I live in the rainiest state of the United States. When the rain is falling I have internet always. Depending on your location depends on what ground stations starlink is using. In the future satellites are all going to be equipped with technology to speak satellite to satellite. It will get much better in the future. Give it time and your speed should increase.
@yeremiakpan

This happens with all satellite connection but star link is unbelievably better then other sat providers with speed and stability.
I pay 45 CAD/month for an unlimited plan with 100 Mbps speed. It's more than sufficient for streaming on Netflix and Amazon, as well as handling my tasks. I don't understand why people opt for pricier options.

Where I live at, we’re are considered the end of the line for every service provider and cell reception can be ok with only 10mbps and there 2-3 times a week where even that drops off to nothing. One compnay has been saying they’ll be upgrading to fiber in the next few weeks for the past two years. We’re tired of not having a good interent connection. We have family who work remote and the internet is basically their lifeline.

At 200 mbps for USD$25/month that is lower that what many of us are paying in the US for similar speed. 🤷♂
