As mentioned in the video, I don’t need Starlink because we have a lot of affordable high-speed internet options available in Metro Manila. I bought it because I want to have a unit on standby, ready to help during calamities and disasters. I’ve already arranged to meet a certain DRRMO, to demo how the unit works - so we can be ready for the future. Who knows, maybe the DRRMO will even buy their own units.
Wow thanks for the super like. That's my second ever super like! I'm actually in talks with a mayor right now, to go visit them and test starlink in one of their mountainous regions. There's just some logistics and coordination needed because they're kind of far from here and I have a heavy schedule. But I'm hoping either this week, or early next week.
WOW!!!... Memories of the OLD GADGET ADDICT with a gadget to review.. Just like old times.. STARLINK is an amazing contribution to communication..These will only get better and probably smaller and more transportable.. Thanks for the review..
As a home-based freelancer this is a huge bonus to staying connected when the inevitable outage occurs. With battery power banks like Bluetti and now Starlink, we are open for business 24/7 in the Philippines. Thanks for the update. Now I have to convince the wife it's a great extra for our business careers.
I got subscribed because of the explanation. Well said sir. I remember that news about teachers on the roof finding a strong signal gor internet. Also in the future I want to live in a farm or in remote and quiet forest with my wife. Problem with living remotely is access to good internet, now starlink has provided the answer.
Finally, a reason to move out and live in the welderness. Been dreaming of living somewhere far with less people and noise. A place only for myself but cant seem to do so since im still a internet addict at heart
Great video. Thanks. I've had Starlink for about 6 months (California on my sailboat). It's pretty terrific. It's a real game changer. btw the minimal packing dimensions of the stowed Dishy (without the base) are 513mm(20.2" )x 303mm (1.9")" x ~ 8.5" high (end of the pipe stub). This should just fit in a maximum suitcase for airline travel. And it seems pretty robust. (The pipe dishy connection is very tough.) I think all the dedicated bags and boxes sold for Starlink are much too big and too expensive. Save your money.
Like you i also have the same goals of providing communications and internet to affected areas when another typhoon rolls over here in Eastern Visayas I ordered a starlink so i could help these communities Thank you for being a good Samaritan sir. God bless you 🙏
This will be very helpful to people who don't have access to fiber internet yet i.e. provinces and some parts of metro manila. Pricing is steep but I'm sure it will be worth it if you don't have other means of internet access.
Please be careful; here in the USA we have a residential, business, and RV (mobile but more expensive) accounts. The residential account will not work if your GPS coordinates strays too far away from your home coordinates.

Well explained rationale for the best use for starlink. I personally would also love to have one for the exact same reasons you mentioned if I have that kind of disposable income. It can serve both as your primary internet and a backup when the lines go bad. You can carry it practically anywhere like camping or going to places far from the city and or like you mentioned going to places affected by disaster. Only question is how consistent the connection is in every weather. Would love to see a 6 mo. and 1 yr. revisit on this technology.
Yeah I agree. It’s kind of stpid to comment “its expensive bla bla when they actually live in the metro or a place where there are already existing internet providers. People, this satellite internet is meant for remote or rural areas where internet is difficult to install! You dont compare this to globe, smart or pldt!
Even if I am on pldt... I may get that because I need Internet all the time because of work. That you're correct about having a backup... Also for far flung areas it is of great service...
I think what will worry us the most is when we enter the rainy season.. When it gets cloudy outside, i think the true test comes from there.. Hopefuly you make a short vid doing speedtest on a rainy season.. Thanks..
A must have for vloggers who wanted to upload their contents immediately without complaining about Smart and Globe. Excellent for far flung locations like El Nido and Coron.
Hey, I know this is out of topic. But is it possible for you to do a vlog of Modernized jeepneys? Like what designs are available, local manufacturers and cost. Just so we can have a good idea of what the Government is looking into in terms of "modernizing" our transport system. I know there are a lot of local manufacturers that are currently trying produce as much units as possible. So if you can do an uodated one, since I'm not sure you've did it before. Thanks and more power!
I'm in a condo building in Manila, and the only internet they permit us to have is by Eastern which can only offer ancient DSL at horrible speeds and rates. It is illegal to not allow me the freedom to choose, I complained at the relevant government agency and nothing came from it after their first response.
Just get a good 5G router (Suncomm 01/02) and then check which provider has better signals in your location (either Smart/Globe). If Smart has better a signal, the unlimited data per month is about PHP 999 or US$ 18.50. Most condos are covered by 5G - at the very least you'll get great 4G/LTE.
Yes the building management signed a exclusive contract. They get a monthly 25% cash rebate. You suffer. Not much u can do but put on a starlink. They do work through glass as long as it's NOT LOW-E GLASS

Same case here in Cebu. I cannot subscribe to Fiber Internet since the bldg is wired to have dsl and the developer wouldn't even do anything to fix the issue even if the bldg is not fully occupied yet
I'd be honest and say this is the 2nd video about Starlink I've watched within 2 days ü (the other was an American in Iloilo who has a mobile subcription and instantly got a decent 100+ to 200 mbps on speedtest just like yours). However, it's your insight about Starlink's purpose and usability in the countryside and underserved areas I find interesting. Since the first video and yours, I've wondered why Starlink did not have the option for solar power, given that most areas it is meant to be used in not only have poor to no Internet or cellphone providers but aren't yet electrified. Thoughts? How long did the shipping take to get to the Philippines? And how do you pay subscription? Anyhow, thanks for the share and mentioning the monthly plan in pesos.

I'll know more when I go home to Iloilo this coming April.
Easy to setup a stand along battery - solar - inverter supply, many ways of doing this. I don't believe the power requirements by this kit is high, 175W when booting, 50W when idling according to a search I just did
The monthly subscription is $100, equivalent to p5,500. Has SpaceX subsidized the subscription? The vlogger said he only paid p2,700. If he is correct, I will activate my reservation, power my house with solar and free myself and my family from the intermittent black outs--just had one now.
just like here in the province where our 'internet providers' are a bit sluggish in providing us quality Internet connection and god knows when they can actually make it happen. This is the answer. thanks goodness Elon has thought of this. Thank you too vlogger for giving me this wonderful idea and solution to our very old and persistent problem here in Mindanao. This can help a lot, save peoples lives maybe in the future.
Major cities in Mindanao like, Davao, General Santos, Butuan, Valencia, Zamboanga, Iligan, Cagayan De Oro. But some major cities like Surigao, Cotabato. Marawi literally has no internet.
if only the politicians have the same mindset as you have, then the starlink will actually have a very big impact to those in need of internet in the far flung areas,
also starlink( as internet source ) very usable P2P business on remote area and mountin areas here in davao oriental starlink can solve vs old crap cellsite services
It has been a while since you posted about new technology! been following since Cdrking days then you suddenly shifted to traffic scenes .Cool Starlink gadget.
Thanks so much. Two super thanks in one day! I think I finally made it to a total of 5 super thanks on my channel. It's not expected, but very much appreciated
The only place to order Starlink is through their official website. They don't have dealers or middlemen. They will ship it straight to your door, via DHL.
The good thing with that is, it is very portable. You can bring it anywhere, in the mountains, at sea, on an island, in places where there is no access to local telecommunications.
Starlink is damn slow in the city, especially if you're surrounded with tall buildings, even a huge tree nearby can interrupt the signal between the dish and the satellite. But it's a huge upgrade if your home is on an open space or countryside.
So the monthly for Starlink is 2700 pesos and not 5000 pesos as initially advertised. That's a very big difference. I assume there is no limit as to how many computers or cellphones can connect to wifi. Of course the speed might slow down if there are already a lot of gadgets connected to the same wifi source but a single starlink will be useful in remote places.
It's a good idea to be able to use it during calamities and help communities. But it will still be useless if there's a power shutdown unless you connect it to a solar-powered battery. But then, it's still a good idea especially in remote places.
My only concern when buying this, if you are in rural/remote areas, you also need an electricity generator to make this work. Solar-powered generators or battery-powered generators is necessary in case you experienced brownout during disasters.
Yeah if the grid is down, you'll need an alternative power supply. Like a generator, solar setup or car with inverter. There are many ways to get power in disaster areas. But getting internet? Usually satellites will be your only option.
we should start a project, like a kickstarter project. Not just here in the philippines but for the entire planet. Where anyone can apply to get free dishes for their very remote community. Government will surely utilize this for remote schools in this country but Due Process tells me that that'll be far from now.
I'd like to remind everyone that most of us in the Philippines that are having a bad internet connection are located at Mindanao, maybe because of terrain shapes or it rains here and there with that hot ass blast of heat at the same time.
Is that the official internet service provider of DILAG? 😆😆 Anyway great content GA, hope you do a follow-up review soon regarding its real-world performance.
Very true. Many might be surprised that large part of PH population still has no access to the Internet. There were towns in the north that students need to travel 5 hours ( combined back and forth)to the town just to research and submit assignments.
In time of calamity landline, cell site all breakdown, Starlink, satphone, hum radio is the way to go. Ukraine-Russia war is evident, can even good business in remote area where some people don't have phone to communicate with their love one working abroad.
Very nice👍 well explained ✌️ I live inprovince and i want one because its cool but we already have a fast and good fiber connection and issues are just very rare.
As mentioned in the video, I don’t need Starlink because we have a lot of affordable high-speed internet options available in Metro Manila.

Is that the official internet service provider of DILAG? 😆😆
Anyway great content GA, hope you do a follow-up review soon regarding its real-world performance.
DIyan Lang Ako Gang DILAG😂😂😂 👍👍👍
This will be perfect for far-flung areas. Perfect for Calaguas!!!
thanks again sa mga info mo GA....ingat...
Imagine that every ship is equipped with starlink. We can make calls with our loved ones working on sea.
Star link is very good for island provinces & very good option for remote island
Very helpful indeed.. 👍 thanks..
Wow finally a video about a gadget.....😎
Very true. Many might be surprised that large part of PH population still has no access to the Internet. There were towns in the north that students need to travel 5 hours ( combined back and forth)to the town just to research and submit assignments.
In time of calamity landline, cell site all breakdown, Starlink, satphone, hum radio is the way to go.
Ukraine-Russia war is evident, can even good business in remote area where some people don't have phone to communicate with their love one working abroad.
Now at least, even the remotest area in the Philippines, most especially for the government facilities, can have an internet connection.
Very nice👍 well explained ✌️ I live inprovince and i want one because its cool but we already have a fast and good fiber connection and issues are just very rare.
