Something to consider is that apparently in the first 12 hours of connection, it's still determining the best possible connection for you to the starlink network and your initial speeds can vary a great deal but once fully sync'd with the starlink network, you (in theory) should not see those delays barring extreme or inclement weather conditions

I have Starlink in rural Puerto Rico and I can honestly say it has been life changing. My family has had a challenge getting good internet connection to our area (mainly due to lazy ISP who basically have a monopoly/duopoly in PR). As soon as pre-orders went live, I pre-ordered, then converting that into the official order around 7 months later. I receive upwards of 125 Mbps and it has changed so much in our lives, that it was actually a little emotional at first (just due to all the fighting and struggles in regards to getting connection at all for working and education). Funny enough, a month after getting Starlink, guess who would call, offering to install internet since "it is now available in our area".......needless to say, out of principle, I told them to shove it (plus, the speeds and all were way lower than what Starlink is giving).
I'm from Puerto rico tooo and I've been lookin for a better internet but where I'm at its horrible to find the right 1( im in culebra btw) and i just wanted to aks how good is the upload speed and downloads, I've been debating on buying this.

I've had a starlink for about a year now. It's significantly improved over time and I can comfortably play e-sports titles on it without really noticing any hitches these days.

Linus with Fiber Internet: "We got starlink!" Me living in a clearing in the woods suffering with HughesNet at barely 1mbps, shared with a family of 3, with over 800ms ping for over a year: "Please for the love of God give it to me already! I miss playing games with friends!"
Linus was able to borrow 2TB wroth of ram... he has connections and probably faster internet than us But I just realized couldn’t the dish get yanked away in a powerful storm? It’s held down by suction cups... not bolts or screws like the old TV dishes or even older MEGA TV DISH (big ole thing that had to rotate when you changed channels)
My 50yr old Mom's internet goes out when it rains, and only maybe 3 or 4 had streams at once so I sent her the short circuit video for this and within a couple hours, she messaged me back that she signed up for the beta. that's how big of a deal this is.
Linus needs to do a 12month review of starlink and see if it has improved since last video. spaceX has had multiple deployments of the satellite since then
It has gotten better, though the V2 sats have not begun launching. It seems the FAA is about to approve of Starship launches from Texas, which SpaceX needs to launch the heavier V2s. The current sats with laser links the Linus mentioned first launching in the rideshare are V1.5s
@@nicoderfeuerloscher1684 They're designed to slowly deorbit over time. So as they get disabled or made obsolete they will eventually deorbit and just get disintegrated by the atmosphere

It’s not phenomenal and will only get worse as more and more users get on it. Additionally it will probably go out of business because Starlink Business model isn’t sustainable replacing low orbit satellites every 5 years at the tune of some 30 billion each time, not to mention failure rate and other unforeseen issues. Don’t get starlink

My parents just got starlink where only Hughes net was available before and now they're getting around 90 Mbps down 25 up and 12 ms latency was able to stream Disney plus in 4k so I was thoroughly impressed with starlink
Ikr, I never even achieved 27ms on a game, not even close. My best is just around 100ms with asian server (yes, i live in asia), let alone playing on NA server with 400-1000ms lol
gaming latency won't be 27. 27 is the travel time alone, but in games your CPU/GPU processing time as well as that of the server's add a lot more latency than in a normal ping test. When I was in Dallas on fiber I'd sometimes get 60s-100s ping times in games on local servers whereas I'd get only 2-5ms in normal ping tests or when the game server has a low load. In other words, netcode + hardware will make it worse. But 27 is a reasonable travel time globally speaking
Depends on what servers you play on I guess. I currently have 20mbps fiber (Safricom), and I get 5 ping on CSGO and 10 on R6S. When playing Dota Ranked I get about 180-190 ping.
i work for one of the 2 big providers of satellite internet as a technician, honestly im going to enjoy watching them both be driven into the ground by Starlink...they absolutely deserve it Viasat and Hughesnet are shit companies that lie and prey on people in rural areas.

@@Agentsierrabravo definitely. We switched to a new provider (Aussie broadband) and even though it’s actually been a really solid experience I still think there is a massive gap for most people.

This is a massive deal for SO many things, it's incredible. Every industry that happens away from built-up areas is gonna benefit massively from this. Not to mention disaster relief. The effort it takes just to set up stable communications after something like an earthquake or a hurricane is immense. With this rolled out, drop a few Starlink kits and a few small generators and you're set to go.
@@Killerpixel11 Oh yes, definitely! I am already baffled about what it will have done in like 10 years... My only concern is still the amount of thrash it could add to our near-earth orbits...
I don't think it would work well on a boat. whatever it is placed on has to be completely stable. Any tiny amount of movement or rocking will throw off the tracking.
@@Scrubti Well, if they stick to the plan and properly deorbit the things when they're dead, it shouldn't be a big problem. As long as they're active, they're not a problem, because they're tracked and easily predictable. And they're in quite low earth orbit, so their orbital duration without correction burns is limited. Even if one fails, it's orbit will decay soon enough to not be a huge issue. Stuff floating in higher planes is a way bigger issue. Not to mention the chinese blowing up their own damn satellites for the lols. That alone created a debris field that Starlink wouldn't be able to produce in a decade.
I live in the rural Philippines, the closest stop light is about 2.5 hours away from my house. We managed to save enough money to get Starlink (the kit only costs $260 and the service is $45.95 p/mo here). I got a job doing consulting from home. Now my family's life has completely changed. Starlink brought us out of poverty. We owe everything to starlink.
I used to have 4 mbs a second internet this is an incredible improvement over what I used to have though it occasionally has ping spikes when there is a gap in the satellites.
Months after watching this video I finally got my own Starlink in Australia and am pulling average speeds of 250mbps, it's honestly incredible I can download games in a snap now and stream 4k at the same time. Edit: Damn 2-years later and I never got notified of so many people asking my ping my bad, my average is 35ms, it's great. Game all the time.
i just ordered mine in tasmania and am really looking forward to it shipping next year so much :)))) so happy to soon finally be off normal satellite ping. FINALLY no more mobile data gaming!!!
My friend lives out of the city in the country and broadband internet is one house down but they won't come out to service him even for any amount of money. He got Starlink and I've been over to his house and it is actually very good and only getting better with all the satellite launches.

We are so lucky
I used to use windstream cause it was the only option where I used to live, 10mbs download if only one person used it 2mbs if anyone else connected, uploading anything was a joke, online gaming was terrible and I got less ping from my mobile hotspot, my latency with windstream was 65, I would have taken starlink in a heartbeat, it may seem expensive but it's the best option many people have and it's still being developed, and we won't be putting "crap" into space, we will be putting functional hardware that returns to earth's atmosphere and burns up, aka no debris, and with all the debris in space I wouldn't be surprised if Elon came up with a idea to clean that up. This is the best option for possibly millions of people, maybe not you but maybe your friend that lives on the other side of the world, or across state lines, maybe country, a city over maybe.
Yeah via sat needs 3 sats for the whole eart elon musk needs 42k sats... Which will increase the actual sat count in orbit from 6.5k to 48.5k just for inet.. If anyone think thats a good idea or even reasonable the should be send to a mental asylum. Also 42k sats will defenetly look cool in the nightsky.. .. Not. But guess most of big city peeps never saw the milky way or even stars at night so they dont care at all nore do they care about the waste this sats will create because they have to be replaced every 5years according to musk...

@@steven_mkn Then what exactly was the point of your first comment? Obviously there's not enough satellites yet in space for the 'consistent' speed of the internet.
Have had Starlink for a while and it has its problems. Let’s start with the goods though. The speeds are way better the what we had before, and it has better pricing. Time for the main downsides (for me) when it was first set up we experienced no internet for a minute every hour due to obstructions because my area is surrounded by trees and I wasn’t able to get on the roof at the time. During thunder storms the internet goes out. When gaming ping is around 200 to 30 depending on the game.
Imagine being a guy in the countryside where the best thing you can get is 70 ping, 5mbps download, 2mbps upload when there's only 1 user excusing the price, this is like a dream
Lmao that’s me I currently have an “outage” which we get at least once a month where my internet stays at 300 ping constant and I can do anything on my internet
ooh, he might be me :) Except 600 ping/3mbps down. For years I searched for a way to improve my connection, now this is finally available. It's going to be unreal.
I would do something unmentionable for 2mps upload speed, I barely get 1mps. If I email a 3meg Picture, it takes several Minutes, not Seconds to upload. 70ping ping would be sunshine on a cloudy day compared to the garbage option I have with AT&T.

@@MrPRECLIK all u need are the main hubs linked up which is a fraction of what's reqd today. Each sat then communicates through their own network. The Leo sats will be the 5g antennas. People may protest but I don't think that will get in the way considering how poor the arguments against it have been.
I have Spectrum internet in NC (once upon a time it was Time Warner Cable internet). Its still old school coax cable internet and I have 600mbps down and 22 up. However my ping ranges from 16ms to 32ms depending on which server my signal goes through. The fact that a signal to and from space sits somewhat in the middle of a hardline connection is incredible. Things will also only improve with time and newer satellite tech which I am excited to see just how fast they can make it.

Average 2-3 Mbps before, they hit 100 right off the bat with Starlink with obstructions. Curious to see how it improves once it’s in a better spot on a clear day.

starlink is supposed to eventually get better ping than ground connections, because most of the transmission is through air/space, which is 50% faster than through glass or wire. but that will require more of the satellites to be up and running so that the connections are more efficient

Now I have had Starlink for a week and it's amazing! I have hit over 100mbps with under 30ms ping so much, even consistently over 20mpbs upload.... and my Starlink Is the same price at 99 a month
I'm in Montana, I just did a Ping test to London and it was 140ms. But that could be just a crappy server. The Ping should improve when they have more ground units and Laser Link. We are in a pretty bad winter storm right now though so even my normal Ping is higher than normal
I've had Starlink in the UK Devon since December 2021 and I love it!!! I'm usually hitting around 70-120 Mbs compared to my fibre connections which never goes above 50Mbs. I have two links as both my wife and I work from home so having Starlink as our Primary connection and fibre as our backup and for all our smart home devices works out like a charm. BTW, I run two Mesh networks, TPLINK Deco 20 on Starlink and Google/NEST on our BT Fibre.
Ping is relative to the place you want to connect to and the path it takes. Doing an Ookla speedtest to a local (to me ) test server I get 9ms but connecting to a Primelink server in Plattsburgh, New York? 95ms.

My 50yr old Mom's internet goes out when it rains, and only maybe 3 or 4 had streams at once so I sent her the short circuit video for this and within a couple hours, she messaged me back that she signed up for the beta. that's how big of a deal this is.
sheeeesh good for you man!
Remember that starlinks performance will drop in bad weather too, but it hopefully wont cut out tho
mine too but my parents will never sign up pain
When it rains though you may not be able to access the starlink at all
whats a pole drop linus was on about ?
Linus needs to do a 12month review of starlink and see if it has improved since last video. spaceX has had multiple deployments of the satellite since then
It has gotten better, though the V2 sats have not begun launching. It seems the FAA is about to approve of Starship launches from Texas, which SpaceX needs to launch the heavier V2s. The current sats with laser links the Linus mentioned first launching in the rideshare are V1.5s
Soooo, whats gonna happen with the sattelites once they are decomissioned. Didnt Musk want to send tens of thousands of sattelites up into orbit?

It’s not phenomenal and will only get worse as more and more users get on it.

My parents just got starlink where only Hughes net was available before and now they're getting around 90 Mbps down 25 up and 12 ms latency was able to stream Disney plus in 4k so I was thoroughly impressed with starlink
"27 ping is not great"
In South Africa we game on 180-200 ping on a good day!
Ikr, I never even achieved 27ms on a game, not even close. My best is just around 100ms with asian server (yes, i live in asia), let alone playing on NA server with 400-1000ms lol
gaming latency won't be 27. 27 is the travel time alone, but in games your CPU/GPU processing time as well as that of the server's add a lot more latency than in a normal ping test. When I was in Dallas on fiber I'd sometimes get 60s-100s ping times in games on local servers whereas I'd get only 2-5ms in normal ping tests or when the game server has a low load. In other words, netcode + hardware will make it worse. But 27 is a reasonable travel time globally speaking

This is a massive deal for SO many things, it's incredible. Every industry that happens away from built-up areas is gonna benefit massively from this. Not to mention disaster relief. The effort it takes just to set up stable communications after something like an earthquake or a hurricane is immense. With this rolled out, drop a few Starlink kits and a few small generators and you're set to go.
@@Killerpixel11 Oh yes, definitely! I am already baffled about what it will have done in like 10 years...
My only concern is still the amount of thrash it could add to our near-earth orbits...
I don't think it would work well on a boat. whatever it is placed on has to be completely stable. Any tiny amount of movement or rocking will throw off the tracking.
@@Scrubti Well, if they stick to the plan and properly deorbit the things when they're dead, it shouldn't be a big problem. As long as they're active, they're not a problem, because they're tracked and easily predictable. And they're in quite low earth orbit, so their orbital duration without correction burns is limited. Even if one fails, it's orbit will decay soon enough to not be a huge issue. Stuff floating in higher planes is a way bigger issue.
Not to mention the chinese blowing up their own damn satellites for the lols. That alone created a debris field that Starlink wouldn't be able to produce in a decade.

Where do you live? In Sydney we have gigabit already
Looks like you lost the lottery. I can get gigabit (its pricey) so I stick to 250/100 (real world, 275/95) for everyday use and upgrade to gigabit when I need it.
Im in Tassie.

"27 ping is still usable"I'm sitting here glad if i have a ping of a 100 lol
I dominate in apex legends using 180ms ping, I can't even imagine how epic my experience will be once starlink is available worldwide
3 ping here in the Netherlands
Bro lucky you got yours down to 100!
Same. I usually get like 150-300 depending on the game. 😂
Lol im happy playing at 150 ping. Hell 200 is playable for me.
i cant believe that starlink is faster than my fibre broadband.
It's made by Elon. What did you expect?
For now*
And it'll only get better
Then it gets covered in snice in the states that have bad winters and stop working
what kind of fiber is it though? FTTP with a straight fiber drop to your house, or FTTN where it's only from the node to the server, but the last mile is something else
My parents just got theirs in today.
They’re payment will be like $35 more a month, but they’re literally getting 50x the speed already lol.
Average 2-3 Mbps before, they hit 100 right off the bat with Starlink with obstructions. Curious to see how it improves once it’s in a better spot on a clear day.
Like what you said about it being usable. Coming from 2-3 megabit, it’s not even gonna be close.
100 dollars/ month with no data cap
linus: thats pricey
me: *cries in comcast*
yeah he has no idea what it's like living anywhere rural, I paid close to $200 a month for 5Mb/s with a 20gb cap.
Me. Laughs in 1000/Mbs fiber with no data cap 4. 40$ a month
@@Thekillerslim yeah I mean at this point I pay $40 for 100Mb/s with no cap.
@@Thekillerslim thats so awesome you laugh at other people's lack of options. If we want to play that game, I laugh at my huge ass house with lots of acreage for 300% less in price because I live rural. Yeah I pay more for Starlink but pay hundreds of thousands of dollars less(with 10 times the land) for the same type of house that exists in the city. Math does suck sometimes.
@@Thekillerslim you are very lucky .. feeling bad too with my country internet provider. no fibre internet yet after a decade. huhuhu

They got 27 ping on starling
@@obazas 64 was on CSGO
starlink is supposed to eventually get better ping than ground connections, because most of the transmission is through air/space, which is 50% faster than through glass or wire. but that will require more of the satellites to be up and running so that the connections are more efficient
Linus with 44-50ms of ping: "it's MANAGEABLE"
Me with 200ms of fiber connection:
How with fiber is it so high?
Something is wrong, 200 is very high for fiber
Same 😂 on jio fiber
are you sure you installed fiber
or did someone scam you?
Same
Linus' segues will always be the best. I keep using his tactics in conversation and so far nobody has noticed. Although I now have a fine lady, a business, a blind dog and a crazy ass cat. Linus has most definitely helped change my life, all with his segues. 😆🤙🏾
Hi from the 'high speed' NBN satellite connection in australia after they decomissioned the phone lines in my area since the satellite's here now, I have a ping between 750-1200 and it makes trying to chat on discord hell because you just talk over the top of everyone when you wait for a gap in conversation, also youtube videos take up to 20 seconds just to start playing at 720p. Also I'm paying $130 a month for a 200gb capped plan
This is an appealing upgrade
Who is you service provider? I'm paying $157 for 200gb on Skymuster.
my god i feel so sorry for you man
Im in rural Ireland but i got fibre thank jesus
Hope starlink reaches you
Bro go with telstra. I pay $120 for NBN 100 and unlimited data
I can barely get cellular data or internet where I live i can barely watch videos in 144p

Im watching this video on my Starlink internet! It's amazing. I had no other option that actually worked to get above 6mbps and even that was inconsistent. Now I have had Starlink for a week and it's amazing! I have hit over 100mbps with under 30ms ping so much, even consistently over 20mpbs upload.... and my Starlink Is the same price at 99 a month
Where do you live. Just wondering because it’s not available everywhere
can you test how ping works across the ocean for instance, im wondering if it would reduce the ping for cross continental gaming
I'm in Montana, I just did a Ping test to London and it was 140ms. But that could be just a crappy server. The Ping should improve when they have more ground units and Laser Link. We are in a pretty bad winter storm right now though so even my normal Ping is higher than normal
@@Chunkylover1582 got it thank you
@@Chunkylover1582 yeah pinging from London is about 100ms latency just by itself

I've had Starlink in the UK Devon since December 2021 and I love it!!! I'm usually hitting around 70-120 Mbs compared to my fibre connections which never goes above 50Mbs. I have two links as both my wife and I work from home so having Starlink as our Primary connection and fibre as our backup and for all our smart home devices works out like a charm. BTW, I run two Mesh networks, TPLINK Deco 20 on Starlink and Google/NEST on our BT Fibre.
I live in cornwall and am thinking of getting it, the technology has improved greatly since this video and where i live i cant get fibre.

1000 ping? Lucky 🥺
Ping is relative to the place you want to connect to and the path it takes. Doing an Ookla speedtest to a local (to me ) test server I get 9ms but connecting to a Primelink server in
Plattsburgh, New York? 95ms.
My laptop is so bad, just because Xbox game bar my ping went from 500+ to 2000+ lmao
Lol nice 🙂
Are you people living on the moon or what? 1sec ping is absurd.
I have 10 Mbps, and it's 'the best I can get' I need this, I miss playing games with my friends
Bruh thats lighting speed
i get 3-10 on a daily average for download and i can play without lag
yeah and it's almost always "up to" which means that after work when everyone is home it's half that at best.
@@wujekcientariposta agreed
They said they were laying down fiber to get us better internet but the city doesn't even have 500Mbps so I doubt that cable company.

As a starlink customer for the last 9 months it has drastically sped up since I signed on. I'm in barriere BC and average 250-350 mbps have seen as high as 780. And the best part. Telus took their garbage the hell off my property 🙂
I'd have thought you'd be getting decent hard wired stuff there. You're so close to Kamloops, that's surprising.
@@blacksunapocalypse Lol you'd think waited for Telus for years with no date in sight, on their dsl 10mb plan I was getting1-1.5 at tops. horrible service. I honestly would keep starlink even if I move to the city
@@blacksunapocalypse don't be surprised I'm close to Toronto and my area doesn't have fiber or gigabit
Is it good for gaming now
Are you sure it's MB/s and not Mb/s? Because 780MB/s sounds so wicked fast
Honestly, even if it's not blisteringly fast, it brings internet to places that basically didn't even have it before.
This is faster than 50% of places in Europe
@@sujimayne 50%? In germany its more like 90%
It has way better and reliable ping and speeds then my uverse att internet.
Including school system that currently don't have an option and are getting priority over general customers who will be first come first serve, very cool.
@@tilmanrotationalinvariant2257 well it‘s not too bad in Germany. We recently got an upgrade to fibre and i get 25 a stable mbit/s
I love how he keeps saying it loads slower, looks amazing to me. I had to let this video buffer for 5 minutes before watching it.
oh man i remember those days when you had to use firefox cause it loaded the entire vid while chrome only did like 5 mins, so youd leave a few tabs loading for a couple of hours and come back to watch. God forbid you accidentally close a tab! lmao
I mean he does have a 10 Gbit/s connection in the office
