- SpaceX and Starlink have just changed our lives. Thank you Elon Musk.
In 2017, I paid $1,200 to have DSL run out to my home site in the mountains. It never did better than 6.8 download, and it went down all the time. Getting service restored took days (sometimes weeks) and required time off from work. Starlink sets up quickly and provides much faster speeds. The world just go a lot closer.
Break Heart Orchard is a small farm that we are carving out of previously forested land.
We will be putting out videos on a weekly basis to document this journey as we build our own home and create our dream farm and Orchard Cidery. Check out our other videos and subscribe, to follow along on this adventure

I'll be switching over my phone too as soon as it's ready!
David I had know ideal what you were talking about at the start, but I kept watching.,.hi Jefanna 😉
Thank you for watching. Starlink is Low Orbit Satellite internet service. It has relatively low latency and high service speeds and for people like me it is a lifeline to modern life. If there was no electricity here I could do solar. But I can’t make my own internet.
Boy oh boy you guys are gettin, it done. I can't wait for you to be done and moved in. I want you both to be able to have a morning coffee and enjoy that beautiful landscape with just nothing to do. Well you'll never have nothing to do but you'll be able to enjoy a morning or so with just looking at all you've both accomplished. I can't wait and I'm nobody. Just a person enjoying all you've allowed me to see. God bless you both!!!!!!
Thanks. I am definitely looking forward to that day
Good morning Break Heart and family. Yeah that's how these provider are. Am sign up for a 100mb plan and I am getting 50%of that on the download side. Glad you found a new provider 🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thanks Lloyd. Hope the waves didn’t get too high when Fiona passed by. News showed it a bit away from you.
Technology is brilliant in the right ways. I love this video love the famous wink and good to see another longer video from you guys , sending much love from Australia xxx Oh boy the bugs are bad there> you need face nets lol
Hope it works well for you
Holy frigging bugs!
We have lots of fat healthy bats.
Glad it worked🤸🤸
Hi. The house looks amazing!May God bless you always. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you.
That view with the mist in the air is awesome my wife and I live in a lower area and quite often with our pond and a lake near us we wake up to fog it makes for a nice scene nice to see the progress you’re making looking forward to the drywall going up sure you are too stay safe thanks for sharing
Great video. A year ago we moved out of the city to the country. We're not as isolated as you, but we went from having fiber down to the same speed DSL as you have, with no possibility of faster internet in the next decade or so. We just got notified our Starlink is being shipped. Can't wait to try it out!
Try not to giggle like a little kid when you see how fast it is in real usage.
GODS BLESSINGS OVER YOU
Some things you can achieve only in the countryside, one of those is the steam after the rain. I remember in the summer, after a rain, there were always ultra low clouds and steam on our mounts. I live in a wide valley, where it gets very hot sometimes but also cold sometimes, usually when the Siberian wind flows across... The most time we get only wind. It's so nice to see the steam being pushed around by the wind.. 😊 Your project is going to be finished soon, as it seems, some more work required inside and sheetrocking, which will be fast, once you install all "technicals".. It's looking good though, better every day. I think you picked a very nice spot for the house. Cheers.
The flowing fog and steam sound like it would be relaxing to watch and would make great timelapse video.
It will get faster when they start using laser link and second generation satellite
Starlink is fast, I wonder if the bandwidth will go down as new subscribers increase. Time would tell. Congrats on your internet experience.
Yep that’s fast for me
I got only up to 7 on 4 other carriers
Next stop the kabor toss compation'''''
Hah. I think my toss would be rather disappointing. Those things look heavy.
You should be able to use that to provide you decent WiFi calling since your phone service is weak. Alternatively, you may be able to use get a femtocell to directly provide cell coverage inside the house.
We used a Yagi Antenna to boost our cellphones and HotSpot during the Pandemic. It was slow and painful but it was our only option. I imagine that if I have a signal there I could do the same thing to boost phone signal but it wouldn’t come close to the starlink.
The speeds are pretty much equal between the roaming/RV/Residential Starlink services. I have the official one since July and had a Roaming Starlink for a while. Both had essentially the same speeds. It would only get affected by congestion but unless the deer around your area signed up for it you guys don't have any real congestion just yet. It's bittersweet, I'm happy to have usable internet but the price is a bit too high. I'm hoping Tmobile upgrades the towers nearby soon, I can drive 15 minutes south and can pull 600mbps on their network. At $50 that is the true game changer.
We have T-Mobile now at the place we rent. But the previous 3 years we had viasat. $170 a month for BS unlimited internet. After 60g you were throttled down to near unusable speeds. Terrible service.
Enjoy TMobile and the crazy deprioritizing they are doing now. They have always but it is getting insane now, I just ordered my best effort starlink because my TMobile home internet is unusable as of lately since they opened it to everyone.
Uh, starlink, roof, snow? Stay safe.
StarLink has a heater built in to melt the snow.
Ok then, thanks.
Now, the Starlink development is excellent and all, but if I may make one observation - the ol' belly seems to be coming along with the house. ;D
I am expecting a cold winter.
XD
Please run some Cat6 cables in your walls before drywall, one point per room, terminate all of them in the mechanical room where you can connect them to a switch and then connect your router to it. I always recommend cable over Wi-Fi, but with a Lan port in every room you can install cheap Wi-Fi bridges and have great Wi-Fi throughout the house.
I haven’t used an Ethernet cable at home in 10 years
@@breakheartorchard4761 you could just install wireless access points along with what @Palinkat said to have wifi constantly across the house
When are you going to put the sheetrock up to make your walls in your home everything is coming along slowly but it coming. Good job for some old folks. Richmond Virginia
Workin on it.
Love your videos
Now I wouldn't call us isolated definitely not as much as yourselves but our old line when it worked managed at best 1.6mbs download average was 0.98 the upload was about .6 thankfully we have an excellent parish councillor who though the area is split between 2 exchanges he got the phone company and government to agree to a realistic sign up number to qualify for the fund to help rural businesses and residents to fund an upgrade to full fibre to the premises, it has been so different especially as most government audits etc we have to do have to be completed online it also means it doesn't take me 30 minute to watch a 12 minute video. Until he managed to arrange that though I was seriously looking at starlink as I was just getting so fed up with it as it just didn't look like it would ever get sorted and with a duff line being routinely passed around rather than replacing the broken section I we only had internet or phone 10 months a year.
Should fill that hole up with water and give it a bit to soak in and digging should be easier?
It might but it would definitely take longer and you’d have to time it right b
Congratulations. I’ve decided to pass on the best effort because if I waited this long might as well wait till full service is available. Now being told mid 2023. Also best effort should be discounted in its not full service. Nothing was said about cost which I thought was strange. I signed up in beta too. February 2021. The say it’s first come first serve but have never assigned a number or posted the list. I’m guessing because they didn’t follow that. The south eastern part of the US is the area with lest coverage.
Thanks. For us, it is a complete change . I’ve used it a few times now for work and I am very pleased.
I broke down and ordered best effort. People who have options don’t appreciate the drain or stress associated with poor to zero internet service. So I was just informed that my kit was shipped and I’m so looking forward to getting it to see if it will improve my ability to connect.it’s not a slam dunk. I have lots of trees around my house so we will see. Today I got another email from Starlink. My equipment hasn’t even arrived yet and the have upgraded me from best effort to residential. They also thanked me for being a long time supporter. I’m guessing that’s because I first signed up for service in February 2021. Residential gives me prior over other nonresidential users in my area. I’m crossing my fingers!
Didn't work for me,it keeps dropping signal plus if froze up with ice and wouldn't track,I sent it back,good luck with yours.
I’m sorry to hear that. Ours has been very good.
What is your maximum download and upload speed when you are standing right next to the router? The reason I ask is that I too have been on the wait list for 18+ months and we just got the "best effort" invite and I'm considering it. The difference being that I will also order the CAT5 adapter and not rely on WiFi, which should get a faster speed when you aren't right next to the router.
It has been as high as upper 60’s. Dont recall the upload speed
Except for all the dropouts. There will be many. Speed will degrade, connection will drop. You will become expert with the app troubleshooting section lol.
Have not experienced any issues yet. Have used it for work and conf calls. Smooth so far.
👏🏻👋😁😊😉😉🤗
Not bragging but we are getting 958.51 down and 41.83 up
That’s speedy.
@@breakheartorchard4761 My wife and I are old time gamers
Don’t go to electronic truck they only go 150 miles before they need a full charge

@@breakheartorchard4761 me too
I did not like it and I live in town did not work well. good luck
