$139 for what you get at those speeds is not bad, it's very good actually. Until Starlink all you could get in outback aus was satellite and that was horrid at 25mbps speeds at a cost of over $200 p/m and thats only couple years ago so Starlink in comparison is miles ahead. There's a reason why satellite mobs tried so hard to stop starlink from setting up here. Good video, thanks for sharing
The most Aussie start to a video ever..,”it’s been two months since we installed Starlink on our garden shed” [with Aussie accent, pointing at Starlink dish, bush setting] 😀
Currently in Canada it's $105 for high speed internet, they don't have fiber optic here which would have been $80, and out internet speed is 1.5Mbps. If you feel that ~$140 is expensive, keep in mind what your options would have been if you did have them.
Pretty much the same story here. I’ve done a similar install a few weeks ago and have found the same outcome. Looking to boost a bit further for some fringe areas with the Starlink router. No problems with the install or operation. The cost is ok for the speed and unlimited when you can’t access NBN and they geo lock you out of 5G for modems in Oz (can’t have a better service compete with NBN 🙄). Thanks for the video. I’m in a major Australian coastal city 2km from the old GPO and this is what I’ve ended up with. That says a lot about modern comms. Pretty happy with it.
I've only had it for two days but going from regular satellite to Starlink is impressive to say the least. Set up is nonexistent. It's just plug and play. And It's faaast. Streams anything. No FOP limit (at least for now). The router thing covers everything in a 1700 sq ft house no problem. It's kind of magical.
Excellent. Just went through a week long ice storm. A half inch of ice covered everything. It didn't skip a beat. Since I got it I haven't had more than 5 minutes of downtime. Still a big fan. @@98Reb
We live in a remote village in the Japanese alps. Starlink was the only option and we were a bit skeptical to be honest. There were no setup instructions in the box, so if you have no way to get on the internet, it’s a bit of a catch 22 feeling. However, we muddled through it and actually created a secure network & password. But then we relocated the dish and that network name no longer appeared in our available wifi network list. There was only “starlink.” Doing a factory reset by unplugging and plugging in three times in rapid succession, we were able to recreate the lost network name.
We're in the middle of No Damn Where Texas - where there is literally NO service, not even phone. Starlink has been a GODSEND, and totally worth the price.
Great news. From America, Looking at the mountains of West Virginia This is seriously relieving and Encouraging to hear. Negotiating cheap on a house, So this will simply be part of the cost With house and tax savings, It’s really a no-brainer for me We must have our Internet Speed though! This is the first time I’ve looked into it. Thank you! I love Aussies!
Thank you for such a comprehsive video about Starlink. I am actually more interested on how you've mounted it on your garden shed? If you make a video on the tools, mounts etc that you've used - that would most helpful. Thank you!
Completely agree Ryan, having the same experience. Especially with the router weak signal. I’ve just received the adapter to add an Ethernet cable and am using our old modem/router and have put the Starlink modem into pass through mode. It’s not an ideal fix as a bit clunky to monitor Starlink now but does provide solid coverage through your house and gives us lots of ports to plug into our house as it’s wired up for internet. Speed is definitely in the 100-200 range in regional Vic where we are and still worked well in recent big storms.
It’s just the bog standard one we had with Telstra - I think it’s call the smart modem 2. It’s not my first choice but it does do a better job than the Starlink one and has plenty or ports.
I'm getting 10mbps on our 'good' fibre connection here in Botswana, Gaborone. We're paying $45 per month for it. Really considering Starlink. I see the price for the hardware has dropped significantly; £185 without shipping for a used one on the official website and $40 for the Roaming service afterwards.
@@albertobarbossa2590 its an improvement from 20 years of sub 500k , that was 10 minutes to open emails and youtube was unwatchable at 144p with stops .
We've been using Starlink for around two years in rural New Zealand. It's been extremely reliable and fast (200-300, sometimes over 400). There have been occasional outages, usually less than a minute but once around 30 minutes. We get smooth streaming simultaneously on multiple devices for Netflix, Amazon Prime, TH-cam, and local TV channels. The Starlink router provides fast, reliable 5G access throughout our house. I added a 2.4GHz extender to create a subsidiary network that covers our entire 5-acre property, albeit with slower speeds. Previously we were on a Telstra-NBN connection when living in Queensland. Starlink is far faster and more reliable and not that much more expensive.
If you are in a fixed location you may want to check if you can install a directional cellular/ mobile service antenna to amplify a signal from a distance and see how that compares.
We have had starlink for about a month now. And it’s been pretty much flawless. I do a ton of gaming and my ping is usually around 17-40 depending on the server I’m pining to. It does get a hitch about every 3 hours and it says it will get it in the app via the obstructions tab. If I put up higher on a pole above the tree line that would go away but I’ve been pleased with how it’s worked the way it is.
We got ours a little over two years ago, we had hughesnet before because it was the only option. With the other co. we could not do cell phone calls so we had to have a landline, the internet was slow, an if you loaded a video, it would buffer about every 20 seconds. We were constantly running out of data, so it was additional cost every month. We were paying Hughes 180 per month plus additional. Starlink is 120 per month , fastest I've seen next to a network, It has never buffered no matter how much we use it, no landline now, we use or cells for everything. All in all, this has saved us about 250 per month.
I fought with my ISP Orange in France for years with them making excuses for my bad reception and lying about speeds. I just told them to get lost and bought a StarLink system on a good offer and have never looked back, no problems, good speed and reliable. I live in a very deep remote valley in the Pyrenees foothills. I bought a solar generator so that I can run the system through frequent winter outages. I'm contemplating a StarLink mini.
I’ve had starlink for a year. It doesn’t have the best range but the speeds are really solid. Especially if you live in rural areas. I’d recommend it for sure.
The new antennas no longer are steered with motors. They now are phased arrays like the fixed radar antennas in fighter airplanes. They cost Starlink at least $2400 and are made by STM.
Wifi penetrates walls, but is blocked by steel and/or trees. The best way is to have a wifi router able to use Cat6 LAN cable and mounted in the space you need fast internet. Wifi extenders without cable will reduce the speed, but may be useful to have some sort of external devices connection.
We have been paying $157 per month for a 25 meg connection. It is a line of sight wifi connection. Its been very un reliable as of late. I do allot of online gaming and run multiple servers in the us and uk for gaming. I have been thinking of switching over but am concerned about latency which is bad for gaming. Thoughts?
Got it for 250CND now with hardware and 140 a month CND . also replaced the starlink router (bypass mode) with ubiquity cloud gateway ultra and a u6 AP , wifi is a non issues now.
Not sure if you can answer but you may do. With all the talk of cyber attacks etc., would Starlink be the best option in this scenario or would it make no difference? Thanks
You are still connected to the internet it makes no difference for security other then physical wire taps. You also have to remember all your data goes through Starlink servers so Elon has access to all your data 🤷♂️.
Thank you for your video, I live 60 K's from Melbourne GPO and our NBN is atrocious and since the 2021 June storm we have lost a Telstra mobile tower which has left us with sketchy mobile service. At least with Starlink there is no middle man.
Thank you ! I was in an agreement with the brand, and I also respected the generous offer they had given me-but will keep this in mind for the future ! Thanks for the feedback 🙏
I was considering it for a WiFi internet system. I do have an NBNCo system thingy with the roof top disk on the house so maybe ditching Telstra and Netgear could be the way to go and beat that 900 dollar odd setup fee.
Germany here. I can choose between glass fibre clocking in at 100 Mbits for 55 € per Month and Starlink‘s current offer of 299 € for the hardware and 50 € for the monthly service. My little brother uses Starlink and reaches between 250 and 350 Mbit at any time and now I wonder, which should I choose?
Dont know which part of germany you come from, but 55$/month seems about 150% of what is normal here. I pay 24 Euros - ca 28$ - for 350 mbps cable connection. And es, very rural, no glass fiber yet.

Bear in mind too its still in "beta" As the constellation grows and more people have access pricing is suppose to decrease. Even then for what you're getting for where you can get it, its not that bad.
Starlink was my only option at the time and i cant afford to get another satellite internet provider. If you find a better satellite provider i would recommend it. It started out fine but the quality of the internet has dropped terribly. I dont recommend starlink.
High speed internet, where there is nothing. I cant think of anything better than that :) I am seriously thinking about dropping cable and going to starlink here in the USA- $599 hardware $90 a month...about as much as cable, and all I use is internet. Thankyou for your review.
Bought it. Set it up. EASY. I have about a 10% obstruction low on the horizon and my connection sometimes drops out early in the morning before sunrise. The app only gave me orange results, and a red for gaming. Warcraft works perfectly :) I also had to order the LAN adapter to bypass the router...I need port forwarding. Its insanely fast- even approaching 400megbits sometimes. 30ms or less 5-18meg uplink... Better than cable. Im really impressed. My old Hughes 1.5mb downlink, dialup modem uplink dish is still on the roof for context- 30 years ago :)
I'm in the UK and on my 700mbps 5G tiktok struggles too so this is not SL - although I have SL and I am on it now :) Just bear in mind the heat is produced by sending more power to the components - there is no actual heater
Thanks for the review! I am thinking of getting it as my upload is too slow with wireless NBN. I host a lot of Zoom and Ms Teams training sessions, due you notice any latency with Zoom or suffer frequent disconnects? Thanks again Andrew
I pay £38 per month, for a EE 5G Business data sim, and get around 400-600 Mbps, with a Zyxel router and waveform antenna. Latency is around 40-50ms consistently, is it worth moving to Starlink or leave my setup as is, or better yet, aggregating the connections with a peplink?
You're joking right? Compared to what's offered non satellite at 2 gig speeds. This is a 20th of that. It's great for what it is, but that's not multi home sharable speeds
@@agps4418 Yeah I think in places where Starlink is a viable option, the alternatives are very bad, it can support more than 1 family who are used to my old 1 Mbit DSL that is for sure. Most people on slower internet teach their children or they learn how to be courteous with bandwidth, not downloading large games when you are working or trying to do something important, etc.
What I have seen on Reddit in Estonia where I live if you live where the cell service is terrible and there isn't a fiber-optic cable running to your house Starlink is pretty good but as soon as you get the fiber-optic cable to your home or 5G cellular service it becomes pointless because the ISP providers charge less for the same or even faster speeds, for example, Starlink is 50€ per month vs Elisa 35€ for 500 up and down.
You should have a wifi router between your network and the starlink router, turn off the starlink wifi as well. Security 101! Your internal wifi and LAN router should segment your network between household appliances, entertainment (TV etc), work and private.
Why is the kit not manufactured with solar panel. So that we can use any where. Taking in consideration in Africa electricity in rural area are not available
Tik Tok does not need high speeds to run. I was in a third world country where the highest internet speed was about 5mbps and tiktok ran fine. TH-cam and just normal web browsing uses way more bandwidth than tiktok
Good vid Cuz. We are rural NZ but lots more trees and the shed a bit from house :) Obviously its clear straight up but I cant find on net what is minimum angle from horiz plain is required.

been debating it theyre offering the hardware for 200$ CAD in my area but that 140 a month seems so steep but my cottage is in a bad spot for reception on the lake
I have a doubt. I want to buy a device like this here in Brazil but I want to take it to a very small village in French Guiana so that my father can use it, is there a problem? I want to pay him from Brazil while he uses it there. Please clear this doubt
I live in a location where we get terribly slow internet and even bad phone service so I am super excited to try this out. I think I'm about to have a lot of problems solved. Thanks Elon.
You didn't mention how many other people in your area are also on StarLink, thus sharing the bandwidth. In the country side it probably wouldn't be a problem as long as you stay connected. Fortunately living in Hong Kong I don't need that service and we average 170 Mbps downloads and 10 Mbps uploads for about US$10/month.

You know the slash in “p/m” means per so you’re essentially saying per per month

@@agps4418 Yeah I think in places where Starlink is a viable option, the alternatives are very bad, it can support more than 1 family who are used to my old 1 Mbit DSL that is for sure. Most people on slower internet teach their children or they learn how to be courteous with bandwidth, not downloading large games when you are working or trying to do something important, etc.
What I have seen on Reddit in Estonia where I live if you live where the cell service is terrible and there isn't a fiber-optic cable running to your house Starlink is pretty good but as soon as you get the fiber-optic cable to your home or 5G cellular service it becomes pointless because the ISP providers charge less for the same or even faster speeds, for example, Starlink is 50€ per month vs Elisa 35€ for 500 up and down.
Maybe a silly question, but why did you mount his on your shed instead of on your house?
We were renting, so was just easier. But in our new place, def on the roof !
we came from 5-25kilobytes per second... who remembers those days??? 130MBps back then was unimaginable man life is better....!
You should have a wifi router between your network and the starlink router, turn off the starlink wifi as well.
Security 101!
Your internal wifi and LAN router should segment your network between household appliances, entertainment (TV etc), work and private.
How do you get electricity
How do you think
How did you mount it on the roof?
Why is the kit not manufactured with solar panel. So that we can use any where.
Taking in consideration in Africa electricity in rural area are not available
Just buy solar panels
Move your modem and router around to find a good spot! And also helps you get a better modem and router
As a commercial fisherman I never thought that some day we’re gonna have service out there ,now nobody wants to work 😮
Tik Tok does not need high speeds to run. I was in a third world country where the highest internet speed was about 5mbps and tiktok ran fine. TH-cam and just normal web browsing uses way more bandwidth than tiktok
Good vid Cuz. We are rural NZ but lots more trees and the shed a bit from house :) Obviously its clear straight up but I cant find on net what is minimum angle from horiz plain is required. Then I could figure out pole height. Yes I know the app is supposed to detect clearance but u need an iphone, the S11 doesnt have a gyrosope - crikey why on Earth would any phone have such a thing? :)
How is upload speed?
between 10-20mbps
Setting up mine tomorrow wish me luck
Nice !! You'll love it. Setup is very easy but good luck !
Loser
Would be better to install it up higher on a pole ?
Not needed in our case, but sometimes yes !
I love how you just finish the video with “and then I crashed my drone”😂
Great video as always, can’t wait to see another video
By the way I went down to Billson’s a couple of weeks ago and did a gin and vodka taste test😅
haha thanks mate !! SO lucky the drone survived. Also very glad to hear you went to Billsons ! It's actually my brothers business. So appreciate you supporting them.
what do you do for a living
would like to get advice from u
Are you losing any packets? Can you ping something during peak times?
been debating it theyre offering the hardware for 200$ CAD in my area but that 140 a month seems so steep but my cottage is in a bad spot for reception on the lake
great update.why the shed and not the house?
Can’t get ours to connect constant online/offline with maybe .2mbs
Thank you ELON 😁👍🏻
The most revolutionary idea imagine that starlink allow you to work remotely from you place of dream far from world but still connected
I have a doubt. I want to buy a device like this here in Brazil but I want to take it to a very small village in French Guiana so that my father can use it, is there a problem? I want to pay him from Brazil while he uses it there. Please clear this doubt
Noticed the latency is almost double 4G. I was thinking about getting it for trading but it looks like it will have a 1 to 2 second delay
New Starlink Gen 3 is better.
@RyanCowan thanks for info will have a look :)
I live in a location where we get terribly slow internet and even bad phone service so I am super excited to try this out. I think I'm about to have a lot of problems solved. Thanks Elon.
How did you connect your tv wifi to your starlink ? Having trouble connecting.
Apple TV? Should be easy
You didn't mention how many other people in your area are also on StarLink, thus sharing the bandwidth. In the country side it probably wouldn't be a problem as long as you stay connected. Fortunately living in Hong Kong I don't need that service and we average 170 Mbps downloads and 10 Mbps uploads for about US$10/month.
The most important thing is the Romance Films. Are they loading reliably and without pauses or spinning arrows? 🙆😵😬😥 😁
I heard it’s only wifi and you can’t hard wire an Ethernet cable into the pc from the star link router, is this true?
Did find an answer to this?,
I have just received my Star link and i have ordered from Amazon and Star link Ethernet adapter, which gives you a new port to hard wire into.
In the Dominican republic its only $50 monthly
good honest info thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks !
Thankful for a review that isn’t 30 mins and a bunch of clickbait
What I didn’t realise until i saw some of your starlink videos is your only an hour drive from where i am lol
That start up cost is the only thing stopping me from getting it
Is it portable say you want to unhook and use at work or another address?
yep
Can operate without wifi? Ie via a chord from modem to computer?
How does ot do on snow days?
Dosnt the satellite get damaged?
