      @@gerigame2995 Directly from the Starlink website. I have mine installed on the roof of a garden shed, the speed is inconsistent, at one point, in the beginning, I got 216.16 / 21.56 today it went as low as 9.65 down and 8.19 upload, the ping varies between 28 and 85ms. It works in every weather condition without a major reduction in speed. I only bought it for testing as I have a landline but I think they give you more band in the initial stages to then clock it down so I have stopped the service as of next month.

    The fluctuation is cos the sats are moving around the earth mate. Sometimes they'll be right above you , other times your nearest one will be over France.

    Actually, the internet seems to be better than in many built-up areas or it is around where I live.. I can get 1000mbs speeds at a Ping/latency of 8ms and I live rural... yet in most towns around here is like 100mbs ish but latency generally is 30+ or a lot worse.... I find it very interesting because it used to be that we were yrs behind but we are now well ahead... I was jealous when everyone had broadband and we still had dial-up for years

    So you pay £319 for that device and them £75 a month for internet? Did saw on their website, that's waay to expensive

    • @ChrisSloanes
      @ChrisSloanes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was around £550 for the equipment when I got it so more expensive. But in all fairness I can stop and start paying for it whenever and I own the gear. So if I’m away for 4 month I just don’t pay etc. there’s no contract if that makes sense.
      Plus you can take it with you, use it mobile and take it in a Campervan etc if you want too. I thought similarly at first but if I’m honest it’s been fantastic and for someone who was quoted £16k to have fibre ran to my door since I live rural, it’s very cheap in comparison.

    When it comes to internet the UK is or can be as bad as a third world country! I mean come on. I came to the UK in 2002 and left at the time a cable internet connection in the outskirts of Lisbon of 100Mbps! In the uk I came to see the old fashion dial up! Today, 21 years on and the best I can get on a not so small town is 30Mbps FTTC. It's just absolutely horrible.

    • @ChrisSloanes
      @ChrisSloanes  ปีที่แล้ว

      Could not agree more. We are shockingly bad and an embarrassment when it comes to forward thinking and planning. The fastest I could get where I live was around 1-1.5mbps until Starlink. Almost 2 years on and it’s been a game changer for me.

      ​@@VictorVictor-hq7ui if I could work there as an electric and gas engineer earning £50k+ per year maybe I would. Still for the life of me I can't understand how can people survive let alone live with €800 per month? Back in 1998 when I bought my first flat (São Marcos, Cacém), the mortgage was my entire month's wage. So unless it's a couple sharing bills, how on earth do people manage is beyond me. Bit for those that do, hats to them.
