Congrats for your starlink! several things i wanna comment on 1- the speed you showed is the wifi speed between your phone and router basically your LAN speed and nothing to do with the internet 2- the app doesn't scan the satellites or use the camera for anything its just for you as a guide, how it works is that the app gets your gps location and then based on the movement of your hand( gyroscope and compass) it determines the location and visibility 3- gaming doesn't need fast internet and no difference between a 240p game and 4k game in data usage it depends on the type of game and netcode. 4- no need to hide your IP address as this is a private address that is only available on your local network the public address is visible in the router or visiting a website that tells you.
I was about to comment all that. I understand he is VERY excited about his new toy but many of those claims sounded SO cringey to anyone who understand networking 😅
Dots are not satellites they just ensure that you create a full panoramic. Glad to see you scanning at dish height rather than six feet above the roof.
Mine just arrived! My back porch is similar to yours, so I ordered the pipe mount and will attach a piece of pipe (or conduit) to one of the corner posts on the porch and extend it up 5 or 6 feet. This way I don't have to drill the roof or worry about the dish being buried with several feet of snow. Hope to get it set up soon. Thanks for a great video!
The speed you show in settings 433Mbps is not your Internet speed. use a speed test service like, Ookla speedtest or something similar and your IP well it is an IP but is a private address which falls into a C network "192.168.1.x" range as stated by RFC 1918. So nothing to worry about it.
Congrats on Starlink! I just got shipping confirmation for mine which should get here next Wednesday! I've been stuck with 1mbps on a good day cellphone hotspot and have never had double digit mbps speed so pretty much whatever speed I get will be heaven. Can't wait!
@@theaveragegolfer4644 Mine’s been working great! Speed drops during rainy conditions but that’s to be expected. It’s SO nice to be able to watch videos stream without buffering or being blurry 👍🏼
Starlink is a game changer. We used to have to download our videos while in town getting groceries or buying hay. Having internet is awesome. I don’t think we could livestream but anything else works pretty well.
Received mine yesterday. So far I've been able to test it in: light rain, heavy rain, clear skies, light snow, and heavy snow - all in 18 hours. Spring in the northeast. It's been great. from 20mbps during heaviest rain up to 200mbps+ on clear skies and light snow.
i just got my order put in today which also happens to be my birthday, thanks for the present elon! i will be going from a crappy mobile hotspot to this, hope it is worth it.
If we are seeing it as you are during the unboxing why are the wires loose and missing the wire ties? Mine was all neat and tidy. You pulled a handful of spaghetti out of the box.
Does the dish move on its own once you have it plugged in? It looks like it can rotate, but it’s super stiff and starlink’s instructions suck. We don’t own the house we’re at so I’m hesitant to put it anywhere with bolts and was going to settle with placing the tube inside some pvc pipe and facing it the direction I wanted it to point.
Ordered one here yesterday here in the UK. Even tho my 4G on my phone is 138Mbs. I want to take it to remote areas as we loving camping and hiking world world. Bought a huge Power Bank that could run a house for 2 days, plenty enough for the 80 Watts per hour for the SL Dish.
Between the satellite and the modem is that just a standard Ethernet cable? I already have a cable run from outside to inside for my present satellite internet which is crap but I wonder if I got this if I could use that same cable?
Don't worry about covering that IP address, that's only your local one, no one can know where you are from it. Every router gives you one that starts with 192.168., totally useless, random number.
Congrats for your starlink!

1- the speed you showed is the wifi speed between your phone and router basically your LAN speed and nothing to do with the internet
2- the app doesn't scan the satellites or use the camera for anything its just for you as a guide, how it works is that the app gets your gps location and then based on the movement of your hand( gyroscope and compass) it determines the location and visibility
3- gaming doesn't need fast internet and no difference between a 240p game and 4k game in data usage it depends on the type of game and netcode.
4- no need to hide your IP address as this is a private address that is only available on your local network the public address is visible in the router or visiting a website that tells you.

@@franckvincent5190 "I am gonna cover up my IP address"... 192.168.....lol
Love your video. Just got my Starlink, can’t wait to try it. Only took a year to get it.

My speed test averages around 200 mbps download and just under 20 mbps upload

But plenty for TH-cam 🤔
Any update on how it went with you?

@@bryanfoster362 awesome, thanks for the response! Looking to get this!
Appreciate the effort and your interpretation!
Thanks for the review!

Thanks for sharing the easy todo

i will be going from a crappy mobile hotspot to this, hope it is worth it.
Awesome man mine is coming this week can’t wait..!! Thanks for the unboxing and review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing to see remote parts of the world will be able to get high speed Internet, thanks for sharing!
Just got mine, hoping to hook it up this week North of Waco, TX. Presently I get 10mbps. On a good day ;-)
@@elimzw9490 he said 10mbps right In his post 🤣🤣

Sounds interesting..approximately how much initially and monthly fee of?
500 for the dish. 100 per month.
@@gregpryorhomestead thanks
Thx for the video - what was you upload speed ?

Once it let you pay for it how long did it take to ship to you ?
Got the email. Once I paid the remainder…it shipped in 4 days. That was last week. Hope to have it by the weekend.
@@bokbok454 thank you I’m buying mine today came out to $590 for everything

it is a unique cable
@@gregpryorhomestead of course it would be
It is power and ethernet in one. The modem provides wifi, but you must buy a $20 adaptor to connect ethernet in the house.
Getting that little cable in through the house was the biggest pain in the ass. Other than falling off my ladder setup was easy until that cable 😡
where is the gaming test ??!!!!
I understand your concerns so I changed the title...but I did mention in the video that it is completely capable for gaming
Never seen this type of speed test before. 😂 use OOKLA Speed Test. Also I know it’s good enough for gaming but also ping is a big thing.
This looks like the premium dish is it not?
Nope. The dish is now rectangular
@@gregpryorhomestead Okay cool I should get mine tonight hoping for strong speeds. Thank you for being so quick at replying.
got mine today -
Just ordered mine - tired of the Comcast monopoly

Skip the unboxing. I know how to open a box and unpack it.
