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.

biggest problem with having many satellites, are space junk, space debris... you dont know, but there are millions of space rocks that hit earth's atmosphere and evaporates... but they dont get pulverised in space, as they will damage satellites...
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.
I just got mine a week ago. I actually play csgo and this is a game where bad latency will definitely screw you over. My ping is about 100-110 which isn't very good for gaming
Ridge wallet has been wanting to redefine the wallet for years why don't they just do it already. Edit: I have achived my goal in life. Getting a heart from linus. Now i can finally acend to a higher plane of existance.
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
I am currently studying to be a seafarer , by the time i have a stable job as a crew member of a ship starlink would be good enough to use in the middle of a pacific! A real game changer!!!
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)
im a traveling nurse and i live out of an rv. i actually ended up getting starlink because of this video and its great. i can easily hook it up on top of the rv and then when i need to travel its as simple as unplugging it and putting it up... and i can still game with my friends while im away.
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!!!
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.
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
As a former Seafarer, this is a dream come true! Being stuck for months on a vessel and only able to call your loved ones every week or so sucks hard! But this, this might change a whole branch!
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.
“More latency than terrestrial connection” please tell that to the people in my games that are at over 100ms and teleporting all over the place or just not moving sometimes.
Did a WoW raid with MT using McD free wifi from parking lot ... was like WTF DUDE Found out he was going through a bad divorce and needed the support of his friends (he got it fromvus)
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. I only wish starlink had techs and not self installs...I'd work for them anytime.
@@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. We need star link. And I hope it throws all other providers into the ground as it’s bullshit that our government privatised our internet

Just need a trailer mounted micro-fusion generator, and nowhere on earth is safe from a mass population explosion. Hydroponic fruit, veg and meat in the basement, internet on the roof, and all good (if you have enough retirement money left over to afford the internet....and taxes). :)
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.
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
I just got mine and set it up. I was went from 300 kilobits a second to 25+ MB a second It really is life-changing. I can work from home and attend online classes while living with my elderly parents and helping them out.
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.
I tell you what, I’ve been paying $140 for NBN broadband in Aus with a 100gb Datacap. This Starlink was a game changer for the rural area I am in. At a $139 with UNLIMITED INTERNET, I am in heaven , plus with download speeds of 175~ 300 compared to 25gb ~ 33gb, a lot of people that don’t live in rural areas may not know how significant this is. I love this
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
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
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.

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.

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.

@@MrPRECLIK in comparison to the infrastructure thats needed for our ground based systems, it's a steal. Just imagine the network of cables that exists to support what we have today. Or the amount of cell towers u see across a single city. Millions of things can be replaced by thousands of satellites in space. Launching hundreds of satellites at once helps plus it drives innovation in that industry.
@@GonzoDonzo Will see in the future, for example in my country they don't speak about starlink at all, so I think that there will be people who will protest against it like they did with 5G. Plus it's only for big stations (houses, trains, buses) but for mobile phone you will still need 4G/5G network consisting from many cables and antennas
@@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.

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.

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?

"27 ping is not great"

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
That's awful! I've lived in Tunisia and get better internet there than I do in America. I watch TH-cam at 240p in America and 1080p in Tunisia.

@@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.

@@assetaden6662 there was a video similar to this idea where a dad moved towards the coast, but the internet there was garbage so he south the nearest fiber line, ran it into his house, split the bandwidth and shared with his neighbor for much cheaper than what they're paying, or to have internet at all

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

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.
Have you noticed any cats sleeping on the dish
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
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.
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
We bought our starlink a few months ago after Eastlink didn't want to do work with us, and we have no regrets. Buttery smooth loading times with little to no lag!

When your rig is so powerful that you can confidently test internet latency by loading a page.

We live JUST outside where a high speed internet service ends. It took almost a YEAR for our starlink to get here but it’s finally here and it’s amazing.

Its worth more than I have in my bank

So happy to see LTT cover this because I've had my eye on starlink for about a year now, and this would really help living in the middle of nowhere

CSGO players: "Happy to oblige" *headshots Linus*
Good luck with the latency and inconsistency. It looks like it looses connection, or at least drops speeds significantly, every time and again
@@steven_mkn for a while, it's a beta service, they need thousands more starlink in the space to take it out of beta.
@@FallenLight0 yes, I do believe it'll get better in future
@@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.
@@GuardianTiger weird right
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.
When Mcdonald public wifi has a higher connection speed than most people in the comment section
Meanwhile our Macdonalds that doesn't even have public wifi
100 dollars/ month with no data cap
linus: thats pricey

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.

@@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
Anytime he said “you’re going to notice *slow internet aspect* NO, no I am not. I have 1mbs. And that’s what this is for. This is a god send
Upgrading to Starlink this friday! finally leaving my 18 Mb/s and 60-100 ping internet! cannot wait!
Linus: "Its no bad, its usuable"
Me: "It looks faster than mine, thats for sure. Stupid ass internet on this island."
Im in a big place in the UK and thats better than my connection. Rip current crappy internet providers. Starlink is going to take over
@@Silverwidows not for everyone though. I'm in London and have a much better service. This thing would be a downgrade, yet more expensive.
@@ChrisKendallCK A physical connection (fibre or copper), will always better a wireless connection. Starlink is primarily for those who can’t even get a broadband connection at the moment.
im in the southwest and the only place that gets internet that good is my university internet. and it's not faster, just the same speed as starlink. at home i get 30mbps.
I tested it just after the video. Mine had 96ms, 3.5 mbps down and 0.67mbps up. :(
And here I am an Iraqi, living in the capital of the country, buffering this video on 360p..... life is fun

"Yo there is a meteor passing by my ping is gonna go up"
hahahaha cant wait, I'm in Australia and get 80 ping to Sydney, the only place where servers get hosted basically.. maybe 4Mbit avg for gaming connection tweaked, 5mbit for downloading. Been waiting since the 90's. Yeah 28.8k modem, playing Quake with 250 ping, good times ._.
th-cam.com/video/rddTXl_7Wr8/w-d-xo.html satellite pattern stuff :D
its beautiful.. i remember seeing 650 ping expectation on NBN Australia satellite LOL.. star.link taught me why, about 60x closer to Earth helps aye.. haha and the tech is sick.
We are so lucky

I just sh*ted my self 😂
That would be no meteor, it's mothership picking up Elon Musk go back to his home planet 🙄
so glade you guys threw that south park clip in lmaoo
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
Me on 1000 ping naturally: *YES*
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.
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

I recognize that this is a relatively expensive product, BUT it basically sets the baseline for good internet in the US. Hopefully this lights a fire under the ISP's butts
Expensive? I already pay $100/mo for two 3Mbps DSL circuits...
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.
