@@SavvyOrganicsFarm my neck is seized from trying to look @ that app already lol - my concern was our house(south of where I plan to install & tall as heck...but I believe app results are ok - we have a kennel & was thinking of screwing mount over the runs of kennel..there's nothing there to worry about if a leak developed
Good job good info. I'm lucky my county started years ago so we are like 99 percent fiber now. But this is a very good option to have. Thanks for the video.
Whenever I get mine I am not attaching it to the roof for one reason whenever you get your roof reshingled you have to reinstall it I am just attaching mine to the fascia that way when my roof gets reshingled I do not have to worry about it
Honestly have not noticed. We have not had any issues with connectivity or speed so far. We remain happy with the system. We also love that it is portable. So if we ever wanted to take it with us or if we were to ever move, the equipment can travel with us.
Have you had any issues with the installation by just screwing on the mount to the shingles? I know they have a lot of different mounting options. Any movement with wind or weather?
Thanks for your questions Cassie. I sealed the screws with roofing silicon so, no, no leaks. So far the wind and weather have not been a problem at all. Working very well for us.
@@SavvyOrganicsFarm perfect ya ill probably just do that myself. Get some lap sealant and your good to go. Some people say your dumb to use that ground mount. But if it works cant see a problem. You didn’t find a rafter to screw it into? Or just screwed it wherever
@@SavvyOrganicsFarm one other question if you dont mind me asking. Do they start billing you once you actually activate it? Or does it start billing as soon as its delivered. I think i still have a few months on my MCSnet wifi contract
you folks must get no snow in the winter. Our panels need to be straight up and down and still on wintery weeks the snow sticks and needs to be brushed off.
i would recommend covering up those tips if you are shoving them through holes and what not, very easy to get them dirty / dusty, but nothing some contact cleaner wont fix. And I don't think you are getting 200+ Mbit upload speed, on the advanced speed test, router to internet is the speed you are getting, device to router is basically just your wifi speed from where you are located from the router, in case that is lower then you know why your speed is slow. I think the absolute cap for upload speed is 50 Mbit but most are 20-30
I dont think there is a cap for upload or download. If i ping test on my pc i get download 109mbps, upload 56mbps....my pc is hooked up thru wifi only and the router is 2 rooms away. If i run the advanced speed tests on my phone, device to wifi router is 51mbps and router to internet is 68mbps, thats also sitting at my pc 2 rooms away. I will also note the sky is currently over cast and cloudy as well. I have had starlink for almost 1.5.yrs now and have pinged and speed test results as high as 240+mpbs download and 100+ mbps upload. So unless both the starlink software and 3rd party softwares are lying about speeds i dont believe there is a upload 50mbps limit. I will also note i live in a VERY sparsely populated area(the entire county has just over 10k people) the closest "town"(technically a village) is 12miles away and only has population of 291. Latency does vary a lot as low as 11 and as high as 70 however we have between 11 and 13 devices connected at all times so the system still performs very well. We run 3 gaming pcs, 2 gaming laptops, 2 tablets, up to 3 tvs and 4 phones all at once plus various alexa/blink devices with everything 100% wifi. My dish also is just sitting on my front lawn and has been since the day i got it. I have zero complaints about starlink speeds or service and rarely have any issues with speed or outtages. i would recommend it to anyone stuck on another other satellite internet provider, we had a different provider for the first 5yrs we lived in this house, we had the largest data package they offered which capped at 90gb a month and we paid $270/month for it.
Hou just screwed holes through your step flashing securing the cable. There is where you created leaks. Your overkill with caulk on the brackets didn't really do anything. Raise your cable up a couple inches up there under the eves.
The disk is self-adjusting and rotates automatically to locate the satellite. It does not have to be plumb. The cable is not a problem and has not been since the installation. It has not moved.
The satellite rotates on only 4 axis. The center pole should be plumb(vertically). The way you mounted it does not allow for this. It works, but it is not optimal. Starlink makes mounts specifically for mounting on a shingle roof. Running the cable inside some conduit will protect it from abrasion over time as wind pushes it along the shingles. All that being said, if it’s working for you, it’s working for you. (aka if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.)
It took a little bit longer than what I was willing to sit and watch but I did appreciate a couple of the tips that you gave us. I would ask the wife to just be the videographer and not be asking all the questions. It was very distracting and annoying just saying.
Do not buy Starlink. My Service was down for three months. The problem was with their settings in house, and they could not correct it. They also continued to bill me for the months they could not provide service. They are even continuing to bill me, even thought I sent my equipment back to them weeks ago. --- Fair Warning: If your Starlink service goes down, you may be in for;one helluva ride. All in all, I paid Starlink over $1400 dollars and I received service for only about 4 months.
good example - I was trying to see if unit was omni-direction so I can mount same situation as you - thx!
Yes! Once you use the app to show that the area is free from obstructions, the antennae will adjust itself automatically.

I have to try to do this but on a clay tile roofing , wish me luck.

Great idea!
That’s a silly reason, they would put it back when you get a new roof and a roof should last you 15 to 30 years so that shouldn’t be a problem anyways
I'm curious if connectivity has improved, especially since there are a lot more satellites up there now vs 6 months ago.

they advertise 50ft of cable for set up but they actually give you 75 ft is that correct?
Great question. I did not measure the cable. I think our was just 50' but I'm not sure.
The new rectangular dish comes with a 75 foot cable. Just got mine in yesterday.
50ft is what I received 2 weeks ago..had to order longer cable
Pretty Cool
It stresses me out you didn’t screw into any rafters lol
I can understand that. But, it is 3/4" decking and wood screws so I think we are safe.
Why you don't put the cable intro the roof
How has it held up for you like that? I just got mine wondering if that works good or if i need to get the accessory mount
So far it has worked just fine. The base mount that came with it has not come loose.

@@lindengauthier4407 ours is screwed into the 5/8” roof decking an was sealed with roofing sealer. So far so good!
@@SavvyOrganicsFarm oh ok sounds good thanks! Im goin do the same

Good point , I’m about to mount a star link dish , thankfully the only snow we get around here comes out the freezer 😂 , but our summers are 😧🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video! I will be doing the same thing .
How did you run the cable into the house?
Thanks. I used a masonry drill bit to make a hole for the cable.
Skinny end goes threw hole
I think I saw a neighbor of y'all's with one on their roof today. As I was coming to pick up my eggs. Is this the same thing?
how much will you charge for installation?
I'd use the actual mount to get a sturdy base. Plus it gives you better sealing options.
We used the mount that came with it.
Does the Starlink network cover the African continent

This is a perfect example of how NOT to do a Starlink installation. Dish it not plumb cable laying on shingles .
The disk is self-adjusting and rotates automatically to locate the satellite. It does not have to be plumb. The cable is not a problem and has not been since the installation. It has not moved.
The satellite rotates on only 4 axis. The center pole should be plumb(vertically). The way you mounted it does not allow for this. It works, but it is not optimal. Starlink makes mounts specifically for mounting on a shingle roof.
Running the cable inside some conduit will protect it from abrasion over time as wind pushes it along the shingles.
All that being said, if it’s working for you, it’s working for you. (aka if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.)
don't screw it in to your roof
So far, no leaks, the roofing screws and roofing sealant are doing their job. We will keep an eye on it. Thanks!
get a piece of wood coming off your eve then screw it to that not in to your roof shingles it will leak
Good tip. So far, the roofing sealant has not leaked and is working well. Thanks!
