The problem with Starlink and other space based internet systems is in order to get latency down to an acceptable level you have to have your satellites in low Earth orbit. Low Earth orbit means these satellites will have a very short life expectancy of just a few years as their orbits decay and they burn up or crash back to Earth. The means you must replace tens of thousands of satellites every few years to keep it up and running. Undersea cables last a minimum of 25 years.

You're not wrong, but it seems as if this downside of Starlink often is exaggerated. Starlink and SpaceX have been in talks with top Professional astronomers and have left them pleased. They cited that some amateur astronomers might still be unhappy, but the International Professional community is pleased. Some of the changes that have been made to the Satellites was the new coating or exterior shell which would reflect much less light, as well as altering its angling towards the earth. Another thing Important to mention is the fact that Starlink Satellites are much less reflective once reaching final orbit, with most of cited photos and videos being the weeks following the launch and hence when they arent in position. Hope this clears up some of the misconceptions.

Great video Cleo. Clear, concise and at the optimum level of detail to understand the state of the transmission tech and the issues with each alternative. I live on my sailboat and am tracking Starlink’s growth. I’ll be likely to purchase it when they sort out their pr icing plans for recreational boaters. PS: I recently slipped my boat at Port Covington Marina in Baltimore, “next door” to the Subcom cable laying company. Fascinating technology.

I'm watching this over several layered VPNs from China. I've wondered a time or two how many of those cables I'm using at any given time. Love your channel and your general outlook. Great content. Thanks for choosing to create it!

I wish you addressed the cost of Starlink from a user perspective. The transceiver costs hundreds of US dollars up front and a high monthly subscription fee($500 upfront for the basic unit; $2500 for the high speed unit + $500 monthly fee). Far too expensive for poor families in the developing world. Sure expenses will drop over time but it’s a serious piece of equipment. Also the transceiver uses a lot of electricity which is nonexistent or in short supply in many rural communities. The required electricity infrastructure (ignoring building new power plants etc) that needs to be installed for starlink to be accessible for many families means we should consider the comparative cost of installing traditional internet cables or increasing 4/5G cell tower infrastructure which already has fast, reliable internet. Developing countries already have increasingly wipe spread 3G towers since most people have cellphones already. Laptops are an uncommon luxury but also not required for most modern internet usage. Having a starlink transceiver at home is in fact limiting to individual mobility since you can only access internet on its limited wifi range. Instead, cell tower infrastructure enables seamless internet access a large region enabling the individual more freedom to move around for work, school, etc.. Considering cell tower infrastructure is being installed regardless in developing countries, why not put the investment there. It’s far more effective at broad access to everyone in a region. I don’t think people realize how expensive and energy grid reliant starlink transceiver units are or how limited their range is (it’s just wifi). Many think you can connect directly to the internet satellites

@harvey66616

That would be as relevant as including discussions about ship anchors ripping up telecom cables from the ocean floor (which happens from time to time). The solar storm heated the atmosphere a bit, causing it to expand enough to cause increased drag on a group of recently-launched satellites that hadn't reached their final orbit altitude yet. They didn't have enough thrust available to move higher to their destination altitude, and so wound up "de-orbited" by the drag. It was unfortunate, but not in any way a relevant plot point in the broader narrative about satellite-based Internet service.

I agree with most points about this, however Astronmers complaining about this also needs to take into account why this is needed, yes it's blocking your view of the stellar objects, but it is also needed for rural and regional residents of many countries, In situations like Natural disasters. During the 2019 fires in australia I was on satalite internet and that was my only source of getting reliable data to keep me and my mother safe. My phone was unable to get signals due to the smoke, but the satalite was able to pick up the internet thus keeping me always informed about what was going on. There needs to be agreements and information sharing between all parties when it comes to this, and I'm also of the opinion that we need to start moving asteroid/meteor tracking into orbit and potentially the moon, this is really the only way we'll be able to keep most parties happy in this regard. Additionally I am on starlink now and I honestly couldn't be happier with the service I'm getting, it's the most reliable internet I have ever gotten. occasional cutouts and downs but realitively tolerable.

A small correction: do not confuse the term 'bandwidth' with 'throughput', because they are different from each other. Bandwidth is the range in (radio) frequency where a radiowave can operate, e.g.: your WiFi signal is a 5 GHz signal with a bandwidth of 20 MHz (this means that the frequency of your signal is between 4.98 GHz and 5.02 GHz). Throughput is the number of bits that you can send within a time period (e.g. 100 Mbps, 100 mega bits per second).

Cleo Im a bit late but You are very good at this, I complement all your hard work, this was very impressive & kept my attention thank you.

Truly astonishing, but so is the resemblance with preceding technologies. Fiber optic cables are kind of a light speed, light based telegraph, as much as a nuclear power plant still relies on steam.

Thank you very much Cleo for such amazing content. Hats off to your research and work ethic

Very interesting video regarding satellite internet services. Speaking as a nerd, this video focused almost solely on layer 1 in the OSI 7 layer reference model, where the internet service providers offers layer 1-3 while 4-7 are being used by the internet customers themselves for peer to peer communication. By the way, remember that there of needs to be the same infrastructure on land plus customer access network as the sea infrastructure. Fun fact, the fiber optic cable shown is a double layer cable, which are only used for parts of the cable route where additional reinforcement are needed. Normally at the deep seas, single layer reinforcement are used, since less reinforcement costs less.

i watched this via Starlink which i've been using for the better part of 2 years, and it's comparible to most peoples fiber in speed and stability. Customer since May 2021. As a Software Engineer it was a life saver when my work switched to full time work from home during the pandemic, and i was previously relying on hughesnet and a shoddy hotspot. Thanks to all of this the ground based providers, which can still provide it with faster speeds and cheaper are getting around to running cable, finally.

I feel like a lot of the problems that satellite internet providers are trying to solve would be better solved by forcing ISPs to actually expand their coverage or better yet for municipal broadband to expand ground-based internet coverage. There are also things like fixed-point wireless internet services and 5G that can expand ground-based coverage without needing to build out fiber optic cables everywhere.

@Curt_Sampson

Yes. The U.S. for example, could start by not letting the sole commercial fibre provider in an area sue municipalities who try to set up their own fibre for their own communities. It's not unusual in certain areas of the U.S. that you can't get cheap fibre because the governments and courts have decided that it must be a monopoly owned by a private company. Probably even more helpful would be a bit of regulation to make the market more free and open. Don't allow companies that provide local loops to provide Internet access (or even own ISPs), but instead make them sell the local loop service on an equitable basis to separate ISPs. Here in Japan I have only two choices of where to get my fibre local loop (NTT or Usen, both about $50/month), but on NTT I have a choice of more than two dozen ISPs, ranging from $5/month consumer services to $75/month business services that give me eight static IP addresses intended to be used for hosting servers. We don't have any "net neutrality" laws or even discussion here because any ISP that starts trying to limit their customers' access will quickly find their customers moving to another ISP. It's ironic that it's in the more "socialist" countries that you actually get market competition in this area (and others), and in the U.S. you too often don't.

Hello from Switzerland, well explained and generally understandable, maybe fewer people are afraid that they have deleted the internet 😂. We in Switzerland have fiber optic connections at least in the cities, but also quite a lot even in smaller, rural towns (10 Gbit/s upload/download for only around $45 per month). In this respect we can be happy, especially since the mobile data network is quite well developed. I recently saw fiber optics being laid in the US, in the example across a road, a cut about 15 25 cm deep in the asphalt, push cables in and close with repair asphalt. Fast and inexpensive; but sorry, as soon as the road is torn up for a tarpaulin or someone else digs a hole, the probability that the cable will be damaged should not be small. I don't understand why you don't take a little more money and do it right, sustainably and reliably. As you mentioned, Starlink & co makes sense where there is no or only poor infrastructure for the Internet, and then relocating the satellites according to the situation is also a clever idea. When it comes to the speed of data exchange between the satellites, however, you have to take into account that it may be faster than via fiber optic cable (because of the vacuum in space), but somehow the data should come back to earth, where, as is well known, there is no vacuum, so, in the end this exchange is incidental, since it is irrelevant for the users as such. An attempt is made here to turn a possible defect into a sales argument, because the exchange would not be necessary at all if the satellites always had a connection to their earthly Internet connection; if this is missing, it will be compensated via one of the other satellites. This is advantageous for the end user because he should always have a connection, but insignificant in terms of speed.

What a truly remarkable video loved it... to be honest I feel that these questions are very much asked like how does the satellite know the waves and how is it changed to light... these binary waves and emissions intrigued all...many questions I feel are and might be unanswered like is there a point where space ends or the scientists from an Era where colonialism was seen as the future invent so many great thing but ya I hope these get answered one day and I hope it is explained easily by people like you... love from India

Love your enthusiasm, I could feel it across time and space! I’d hit the like button 100 times, manually, if KZread let me, that’s how good your content is 👍

Amazing! It made me understand how the internet travels in a very simple and precise way. Thanks Cleo!!

You’re extremely skilled at what you do, and how you convey your information. I enjoy learning from you!

Thanks for the video, although Musk has said he needed Starlink for communication on mars and that earth was just the first step. It’s a much bigger play than just cheap internet for him at least.

Same thing with The Boring Company, practicing drilling for Mars.

This is great! There are a lot of people in rural US alone who struggle with the digital divide. I can only imagine how long it would take for the rest of the world to catch up without this technology.

@@BeachLookingGuy Hughesnet and its competitors are a pale imitation of actual broadband. There's no such thing as real time communication due to the latency, so it's completely ineffective for working from home, which is what will probably be the main driver of rural economic development via Starlink to begin with. We struggled to run a business using cellular internet due to the limited speed in our area. If we'd had to rely on Hughesnet, we wouldn't have been able to submit the forms the government only accepted via internet simply due to website timeouts. Current satellite internet is on the wrong side of the digital divide.

You have this awesome ability to make really detailed and difficult concepts easy for the common person. It’s a great skill to own. I’m hooked.

Another great video. Love how you explain complex subjects.

I saw the starlink train for the first time last night just South of Boston in the US. It was 3 mins of ABSOLUTE CRAZYNESS. To see 30ish perfectly spaced illuminated satellites go over head silently has to be the closest thing to a UFO encounter.

You Cleo are such an incredible presenter of all thing geeky 👍. You relate incredibly detailed information in such a way that is beneficial to us all and delivered in a style that is wonderfully entertaining to follow while making it understandable to us. Thank you for all that you give, your efforts are well appreciated. Well worth subscribing to your channel, cheers.

I love your use (or your media team's use) of Tony Anderson's 'Halo' Just after the 7 minute 30 second mark! That album is one of my favorites!!❤

From India, I think we should focus on reducing climate change effects to save our one and only home "mother earth" ... Otherwise this internet may not be helpful to us.... you are a great content maker person... Keep hustling,keep growing ❤

A quick side note. At 7:19 Subaru Starlink is not the same as the Elon Musk Starlink. Subaru Starlink is more like GMs OnStar. It gives the capability to contact emergency support and whatnot. It's been around since 2015ish but don't quote me on that. My 2017 Subaru Outback has it. At least part of it uses cellular service. I recently received a notice that the 3G portion is obsolete and if I wanted to retain service I would need to upgrade the hardware to switch to 4G.

Good video!. I just have one thing to say, I think you should also mention the ongoing effort by SpaceX to mitigate the Astronomer complaint. They have been actively working with the Astronomer to address this issue since the beginning and continue in doing so. Like painting the satellite dark (too hot, failed), equipping a sun visor to each satellite to reduce its visibility, turning off the satellite transmission when passing a sensitive radio telescope.

Your videos are amazing. I discovered you through your collaborations with MKBHD and it led me to your channel and I am not been disappointed 😁

Hey Cleo, great video. I did want to point out that fiber and satellite aren't the only options - you can also have fixed wireless which delivers decent speeds and lower latency, and is good for rural areas.

The issue is coverage you still need to setup towers and those towers need to be fed with fiber for you to offer decent speeds. Only the last mile is done wirelessly the back haul still needs fiber if you don’t get good cellphone coverage odds are your wireless internet connection will suck.

@@damham5689 Yes but whatever you want to repeat has to be fed with fiber other wise what will you repeat. And Microwaves are usually very sensitive to bad weather. Water humidity and snow are terrible. Physical barriers and loss of line of sight are big challenges. Every time you add an amplifier your signal degrades. It’s physics. You mention microwaves. They only worked with line of sight for 30-50 miles. In a country the size of the US it becomes a challenge to reach many areas and the transmitter will be away from urban areas and will need fiber to feed enough bandwidth!! Wireless internet has been around for years. Smart people work in the industry. And there are many barriers to deploy good service in rural areas. Trust me the engineers and network architects have already thought about it. I work in the industry. Line of sight is essential for a clean robust signal to any customer. And the signal will be fed by fiber anyway you slice it.

I'm 57 and I worked in IT for 30 years and honestly, computers and the Internet still almost seem like magic to me. I got my degree in Biochemistry and was struggling to find a job, but I was interested in computers, especially Personal Computers. So I got a low level IT job and worked my way up. I knew PCs were going to be game changers, and then along came email, and the Internet, and then smart phones. I remember buying my first smart phone, an iPhone 4 and I was showing my mother a video about something. She was mind-boggled, it was almost beyond her comprehension. I said, "with this device in my hand, I can access the entire accumulated knowledge of mankind in an instant. I can watch a video, sitting here on the front deck, from anywhere in the world, about any topic imaginable. Even I was mind-blown, and I worked in the industry for 25 years!

You did an exceptional job explaining complex technology make it simple and fun! This is a gift

Less latency is great but who really needs it except high frequency traders and video gamers? Put the satellites up where are they won’t interfere with other important needs.

4:35 Wow some of these drawings are beautiful!

I knew that data was mostly transferred underground, but I never really extrapolated that to the obvious conclusion that cables would go through oceans when necessary. Very cool.
