I live 4 miles/6km or so from town and even with modern LTE, I get about 30 megabits. But before that, roughly 4 years back, my old ISP got bought out. Clamped a 25 megabit radio to 0.5 megabits. So, I got to live with half a megabit for almost a decade. Half of ONE megabit. Took me half a year to get fallout 4 and that was after an update to shrink it. It was originally estimated at 2.5 years. And it wasn't wrong either. That's only downloading when I could at night (You can't really "share" half a megabit between downloads and regular use). Fun times.
@@Chase-ck4vz: And it's even worse than you think. I spent half a YEAR sucking that game down, then they updated it and I had to start over from scratch. 6 MONTHS of data, in the garbage, better luck next time. Lol! I loved how that ISP called me later all excited "We have a WONDERFUL new plan! 0.9 megabits!". Yes, it was twice as fast as what they'd given me, but it was still ~20 times slower than the link originally was. Xplornet is terrible.
It really is crazy/amazing that we now have the technology to be playing online competitive gaming on a mountain in the middle of no where. We can now work and play games anywhere. What a time to be alive.
I've just bought starlink and maaaan,,, its insane,,, I live in the small village surrounded by mountains ,,, the is weak cell phone signal and now I have actually 300Mb/s internet ... its incredible ... its like a dream... Ilove it :)
for everyone that don’t understand how big of a leap this is not just for this amazing man but for everyone that wants to travel with powerful internet great video ♥️. Edit:Thank you for all the likes 🥹
It isn't a leap. We have satellite internet. The only reason starlink users are getting great bandwidth and low latency is because nobody else in their area is using it. I compare it to cable internet in that when nobody else in your area is on it, you get great speeds but as more people are using it, your bandwidth drops and your latency goes up. Running a satellite internet service isn't cheap hence why SpaceX is doing another funding round. SpaceX would need millions of users to break even but at the cost of bandwidth and latency per user.
@@librab103 going from 150ms, 25mbps max dl, 3mb max ul, and what 45gb a month. You’re basically doubling+ the performance across the board for the same price with no caps. And that’s assuming sat is running at the max which it usually isn’t. So idk, I’d say it’s a game changer for most people who need this kind of service.
@@grambo1980 yes, currently it is the best bang for the buck but it isn't going to last. Also it isn't priced for many people who just need a stable Internet connection. One also has to assume the satellite to satellite communication is near max bandwidth especially the ones who communicate with ground stations.

Hey! My family lives up in the mountains of Idaho and as soon as Starlink came out we jumped on it because we were supposed to be getting like 12mbps download but it was often way less. When we got Starlink it changed our lives 😂 gaming was suddenly actually possible instead of constant disconnects. We got Starlink as soon as it came out so there was a bit of issues in the beginning but now it’s very consistent. We love our Starlink!
Yooo I'm also in the mountains of idaho.. But theres trees all around and I've read that trees are a major problem for starlink, whats your experience been like or do you have no trees around
@@minoxiis3419 we have trees all around but we mounted it high up on a custom platform we made. As long as there aren’t trees too close it should work perfectly fine! The app will also tell you if a tree or anything is blocking it and where the blockage is. Makes it really easy to troubleshoot.
I think you’ve just struck gold by being tweeted on SpaceX’s channel! Congrats - found you through that and I’m all subbed up. Long life story aside, love stuff like this and it brings the prospect of happiness as life’s changed a bit lately. Gorgeous van conversion - love it!
My wife and I love to travel with our kids. So we got Starlink for our RV and I also got one for my hunting cabin of course lol. Starlink works great. My kids play their games online on multiple devices or consoles at the same time in the RV and Starlink holds up just great. And the same goes for my hunting cabin. My teenage son and daughter like to go stay in the cabin during hunting season or in the summer when I do stuff on our land. Before we got Starlink I had a couple NETGEAR Nighthawk MR 1100 that I used to connect our stuff to when on the road or in the woods. Those worked great and still have them. But Starlink was even more of a game changer for us 😊
Im so glad i stumbled across your channel. Im a very big outdoorsman, part time overlander/van life, and very avid gamer/streaming. This channel basically combines most of my favorite hobbies. You got yourself a new sub and now im binge watching your videos on this Sunday rainy morning.
I was considering changing into vanlife for atleast a year for quite some time now. I saw your Van tour video and you convinced me. I ordered my van last week 🤩. Will be moving into my van around august 2024. Yes taking my time to build & wrapping up my work. Thanks for the videos and inspiration 🙌 Hopefully one day we come across each other 😁
Yo thats so cool to hear that my video inspired you to take that leap of faith! Good luck on the build and post updates in the discord so we can follow along! And I'll definitely see you out on the road when you finally move in!
@@TrentTheTraveler I can say the same thing. I used to be more into overlanding. I sold my entire rig and purchased my van a few months ago. I extended my retirement from the military to get in one last deployment to save some money for the build when I get home. Retire in April and it’s the Nomad life for me! You’re an inspiration, brother!
I am starting to save to do just that. Fuck living in a studio. I want to live large. But i work remotly on the internet. So i i can get starlink, i could work from everywhere.
Bro this video was soooo useful to me. I am changing into van life in about 6 months and I wanted to see how Starlink works on a mobile scenario. Thank you. Greetings from Argentina.
Finally!!! This has got to be the best Starlink Ad ever made hahah! The videography and audio makes me feel like I’m watching Avengers. Feels good that you finally get to have internet anywhere you go, does that mean I also get to see frequent uploads now? Hahah
Oh my god, this is so amazing. Solar panels, huge battery bank, laptop, true low-latency wireless internet, AND... GAMING OUTSIDE!? I would LOVE to do this!! Even though I don't live in a van 😂. I love the technology we have today! I'd be screaming all over the same as you!
This is big for camping, around 50 years ago a person died in japan because he got lost while hiking and wasn't able to contact anyone , i guess that solves it.
I'm most excited about not having to sit in a Starbucks for hours uploading videos. Now I can literally stay in my van, anywhere, and be perfectly okay. I'm so happy about this, I can pack up and leave the country try and still have internet. I'm blown away
It's easy to forget we live in the future we all envisioned in the 80's and 90's. And it really is as great as it seemed. Yes, some tech now is flakey as hell, but when it does work right, it's astounding.
Aw, cant you drive with it attached on top of the van ? Dumb question I guess but I see the future reiterations being able to whistand wind and such, like those live news vans we see in the movies.
this channel is really underestimated, i'm not talking about this video in particular but i love your van and your lifestyle. you have created a truly spectacular vehicle that gives you much more warmth than an ordinary home "especially mine" and you have had the courage to undertake this life, I have seen many videos of people who do more or less the same life as you but you are on another level. bravo from Italy
Its going backwards and will make us all into serfs (subjects) again. Space satellite will be how we are all forced to use the digital wallet/ID for everything we do - including paying for things, accessing healthcare, transportation, entry into any concert or ball game, logging into internet. We will be tracked and controlled. Misbehave and your account will be frozen. - no buying anything, no travel, no internet, no paycheck that you have coming to you for work you've already done...
I've been saying for months that watching Trent's videos is like watching a Blue's Clues episode. Makes me happy. And he comes out singing the freakin mail time song from Blues Clues. Lmao validated!!!!!
I wondered about this. Hopefully I'll eventually be able to get my campervan and wanted to be able to connect to internet anywhere. When I saw they were adding this ability to Starlink I was so excited! Love to see that it works.
Starlink is game changer for Tourists and travellers. Imagine you carry your own internet wherever you go in the world. ZERO cost for communciation. Whatsapp, Skype, Discord, Google Meet - on the go! Just Starlink.
Dude, already cracked up laughing in the beginning at the "SMASHED" comment, followed by the Runescape hitsplat icon/sound. Always amazing videos, keep it up my man.
I was thinking it was a little overhyped, but in the end when you are in the middle of no where and it is the first time in history. In the future and when new/more satelites are launched I can see it be even more crazier / stable speeds
As a starlink user myself for many months, im happy with my 300Mbps+ down and 40Mbps up with only 19ms ping. Only thing i dont have is a van life. maybe soon
Legit living vicariously through your channel. Amazing view there. Can't wait to get my kids out on adventures like this when they can talk words beyond gibberish hah.
Bro! that Ping is high, I def know that Starlink will be upgrading that in the future. They have gain a lot of popularity after years of crappy satellite internet companies. Rooting for you! DON'T STOP MAKING VIDEOS!
I've been waiting for you to get starlink for so long, super excited to hear more about experiences. Video Idea: Do you ever run into animals in the wild?
My wife and I became fulltimers about a year ago and I'm so ready to ditch Nomad. I got Nomad from watching your video 9 months ago. Looking into Starlink now. I heard that Starlink needs about 12 hours to fully setup. Thanks for sharing your video.
That's freakin awesome Trent! Love that starlink is that stable for you. I have a question so does the starlink move while your connected to find better satellites? Also its great you still use "Slarxy" as your gaming name
Once the dish positions the first time it doesn't actually move it stays stationary. It works because it's a super high tech "phased array antenna" and it electronically aims the beam at the satellites switching satellites every minute or so as they zoom overhead at 17,500 mph.
thats amazing dude, i wish that we could do this in brazil, but sadly its kinda dangerous to live in a van here! Thanks GOD you produce this amazing content so at least i can ''travel'' with you! Cant wait for your next videos, big hug from brazil!
Sweet bro loved the video, gaming on top of a mountain man absolutely insane. The shot of you inside your van with the wind blowing looked so peaceful. Can't wait to see what this bad boy will do once you get the ether net chord adapter, for me it cut my ping in half!
Damn. Well I was expecting something like starlink to happen at some point but reality is far more exciting. Nice video. Always making my mood when I see you man. Wish I could live in a van too. Keep up the good work. 👍😉
From one Trent to another, this video was SICK! I love all your content man. As someone who wants to work remote and travel the country some day, this was so educational and inspiring! Not only that, but super entertaining lol. Cant wait to watch some more of your content brotha!
As someone who lives in a small town covered by miles and miles of woods and farm fields, this going to help a lot with my gaming and postponed content creation hobby
How long can you game on that power station with just the laptop plugged in? And how much power does the Starlink pull? I'm thinking about traveling in my prius for a bit, but still want to be able to use my gaming laptop at night.
@@chrisrichfield8906 So basically if you have a power station that holds 2000 watts for example since your laptop takes 180 watts per hour you’ll be able to play the laptop for 11 hours without recharging, and possibly slightly longer if you have a solar panel plugged in. (Math: Since the laptop is 19.5V and 9.23 amp you multiply the Volt and amps to get how many watts per hour your device takes. Volt x Amp = Watt Hours. Also if you get a power station, when you plug it in it will show you how many hours it will be able to power that device, so keep In mind how much power you need. Im not too great at explaining things and made this comment pretty long😅 but hope I answered your question!
Want to know how much power starlink uses, mounting options, and see how the ethernet adaptor works? Check out my video about it here: th-cam.com/video/55zvu3aDFGI/w-d-xo.html
do you ever have 2wd problems? I travel across the US for work and im trying to get into vanlife as i sleep in my car on the road. trying to determine if i want 4wd or 2wd. thanks
You ever try out opera gx? In my opinion it’s just a better browser, and even better for gamers. It has built in dark mode, a file cleaning option, better esteticks, and many more great qualities.
Star link is somewhat new to us up in canada, and I recently moved to a rural area in alberta canada. The only internet available at the time was shitty tower/dish based internet that was expensive. After suffering through that for a bit, I got tired of either me gaming or my other half watching a movie and not both. I heard about star link and was sold. ordered it and havent looked back. Works very well for gaming. Only crappy part is when bad weather comes in. Slows it down, but is still very useable! Love it!
I think you already answered my questions about Starlink on Gaming. It's mind blowing 🤯. And I'm very satisfied with your Speed test review. And of course I'm starting to value your channel. Keep it Up bro! 🤩

My wife and I became fulltimers about a year ago and I'm so ready to ditch Nomad. I got Nomad from watching your video 9 months ago. Looking into Starlink now. I heard that Starlink needs about 12 hours to fully setup. Thanks for sharing your video.
That's freakin awesome Trent! Love that starlink is that stable for you. I have a question so does the starlink move while your connected to find better satellites? Also its great you still use "Slarxy" as your gaming name
Yeah! It’s constantly connecting to new satellites all the time!
And lol… I’m just too lazy to change my name.
@@TrentTheTraveler Is there any interruption in service when it swaps uplinks? Or is it able to maintain connection when it does?
Once the dish positions the first time it doesn't actually move it stays stationary. It works because it's a super high tech "phased array antenna" and it electronically aims the beam at the satellites switching satellites every minute or so as they zoom overhead at 17,500 mph.
Love this! Thanks for sharing! Can you do a test in a place without clear view of the sky sometime? Thanks 😊
Not a bad idea! I'll definitely put that on the list!
@@TrentTheTraveler even leaves will make connection bad -- its reaaly needs a clear sky
Great idea Sierra Jean!
thats amazing dude, i wish that we could do this in brazil, but sadly its kinda dangerous to live in a van here! Thanks GOD you produce this amazing content so at least i can ''travel'' with you! Cant wait for your next videos, big hug from brazil!
Hehehe. Tu é brasileiro mesmo ou só mora no Brasil??
@@Celestial-Moraxis sou brasileiro, n viu meu ingles horroroso? hahahah
@@israellima6316 kkkkkk eu não sei inglês. Tô usando o tradutor pra comentar e ler os comentários
Can you move out of Brazil?
I live van life and have had starlink for 6 months and it’s fantastic unless your in a forest with lots of trees it doesn’t like that
I am glad I came across this channel. So refreshing to see something different on TH-cam.
Sweet bro loved the video, gaming on top of a mountain man absolutely insane. The shot of you inside your van with the wind blowing looked so peaceful. Can't wait to see what this bad boy will do once you get the ether net chord adapter, for me it cut my ping in half!
Damn. Well I was expecting something like starlink to happen at some point but reality is far more exciting. Nice video. Always making my mood when I see you man. Wish I could live in a van too. Keep up the good work. 👍😉
From one Trent to another, this video was SICK! I love all your content man. As someone who wants to work remote and travel the country some day, this was so educational and inspiring! Not only that, but super entertaining lol. Cant wait to watch some more of your content brotha!
As someone who lives in a small town covered by miles and miles of woods and farm fields, this going to help a lot with my gaming and postponed content creation hobby
omg vanlife and gaming? this is the dream...and I could work from anywhere! thanks this is inspiring
So much for touching the grass lmao.
How long can you game on that power station with just the laptop plugged in? And how much power does the Starlink pull? I'm thinking about traveling in my prius for a bit, but still want to be able to use my gaming laptop at night.
Good question
That depends on the laptop. You need to find the electrical specs (The Volts and the Amps it uses) If you want I can explain how to calculate a little
@@shadow392 19.5V 9.23A 180W
@@chrisrichfield8906 So basically if you have a power station that holds 2000 watts for example since your laptop takes 180 watts per hour you’ll be able to play the laptop for 11 hours without recharging, and possibly slightly longer if you have a solar panel plugged in. (Math: Since the laptop is 19.5V and 9.23 amp you multiply the Volt and amps to get how many watts per hour your device takes. Volt x Amp = Watt Hours.
Also if you get a power station, when you plug it in it will show you how many hours it will be able to power that device, so keep In mind how much power you need.
Im not too great at explaining things and made this comment pretty long😅 but hope I answered your question!
Want to know how much power starlink uses, mounting options, and see how the ethernet adaptor works? Check out my video about it here: th-cam.com/video/55zvu3aDFGI/w-d-xo.html
do you ever have 2wd problems? I travel across the US for work and im trying to get into vanlife as i sleep in my car on the road. trying to determine if i want 4wd or 2wd. thanks
Hey man, thats amazing! I am wondering how many amp/hour is this draining? Thank you so much for your content! Keep up the good work 😃
You ever try out opera gx? In my opinion it’s just a better browser, and even better for gamers. It has built in dark mode, a file cleaning option, better esteticks, and many more great qualities.
When did you upgrade your van chair my guy? Just noticed it. I bet it's more comfortable than the kitchen chair.
Little did Louis and Clark know, such a device would be planted in the wild frontier
Star link is somewhat new to us up in canada, and I recently moved to a rural area in alberta canada. The only internet available at the time was shitty tower/dish based internet that was expensive. After suffering through that for a bit, I got tired of either me gaming or my other half watching a movie and not both. I heard about star link and was sold. ordered it and havent looked back. Works very well for gaming. Only crappy part is when bad weather comes in. Slows it down, but is still very useable! Love it!
I think you already answered my questions about Starlink on Gaming. It's mind blowing 🤯. And I'm very satisfied with your Speed test review. And of course I'm starting to value your channel. Keep it Up bro! 🤩
Best advertisement for starlink i have seen so far. :))
As a homebody who always games at home , this looks soo fun! I need to try this on my own one day 😤🎈 keep up the great content as usual Trent!
BRO I stumbled upon this channel and subscribed IMMIDIETLY❗️THIS DUDES SO UNIQUE BRO WUT
You have a great life there, my friend. Enjoy every moment!
Meanwhile Bear Grylls having a larva lunch with him.
8:17 the editing is just soo good!
Now we can start the first mount everest tournament at the peak. With beautiful view and competitive game.. imagine... 🤩
This dudes videos are always next level
The moment I saw the title I was like "THIS is content" then after that intro with the tongue and awesome personality.. I'm subbed my guy
What an epic commercial. Someone needs to pay you big time.
I pray they make a 12volt version very soon.
if people are saying you are crazy ... no bro you are not ..another level of gaming with peace
Love the scenery behind
I've never actually was interested in gaming until I seen this.. I love to live on top of mountains
The most amazing bit about this video is that OVERWATCH is someone's game of choice in 2022
That was the most impressive build up moment ever.
