I have had Starlink for 3 weeks in NW Montana - it has been pathetically slow 90% of the time. All installation criteria are perfectly met - clear sky etc. I have the ethernet adapter and bypassed the SL internal modem. Still 30 or less download. I have a ticket with SL but as yet no response. Not certain what I will do - maybe sell it.
When you suddenly have lots of something that used to be scarce, it's a strange feeling! Like you have to make the most of it or hoard it for the next drought
I'm a recent subscriber, and I have to say that your stuff is ridiculous in the absolute best of ways. Watching through your back catalogue has been a breath of fresh air Jesse. Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to keep following along.
Hooked. Liked. Subscribed, even if your Starlink year is over. Commenting: SL is the best...unless there's something better. I just got it a week ago, after putting a deposit down a year ago. So I'm in the deliriously happy stage. I haven't encountered the shortcomings you did, but it's only been a damn week. Congrats on being at the right place and time for fiber.
Yeah! I remember when I first got it... only time in my adult life I felt like a kid on Christmas morning! I maybe could have qualified my "complaints" better since overall was more reliable than my old DSL connection which was hard wired into our house... so was an incredible year with starlink.
Jesse for Pres, another great video and something I've been trying to push at lately is putting my phone down and giving myself time to be bored. Thanks for acknowledging Stylophobia, I didnt know it was a real thing but now I do and I now have a new weapon for my enemies.
The last few times I checked before unplugging it was around 10 up. But I think a good average would be more like 20 up. This is all from memory but will do a speed check once the account is finished transferring to my friend.
Hello, just one remqark for the person who complains about remote school 90 min offline connection. Can you just say if you got starklink WHILE it was in BETA phase or not because this is huge difference. I'm not a starlink fanboy or so but just for like any other service, you have agreements and by taking starlink while in beta phase there were never any official commitment stating the speed or the reliability.... so complaining for it is like acting as someone not reading the contract but well, still good to share the info anyway
So I’m not allowed to talk about downtime? I literally said “Starlink has been great.” Would you have preferred to not have that information? Like I said, I think Starlink’s uptime has been great. It was much better than my previous service.
Starlink will only get better. It is still in it’s infancy. Gen 2 Starlink is a much more powerful system. Let’s not all forget Starlink just came out beta and only Gen 2 is considered retail product.
Starlink doesn't work with Instagram and maybe Facebook... That doesn't even make sense. Unless Instagram is deliberately throttling starlink users to make it look bad... Which wouldn't surprise me, but I doubt.

Hey Thanks, Joseph. Means a lot!

I like Pixel Jessi, you should feature him a bit more 🤣👍 Oh and grats on the new fibre and your new consumption speed 👌
I don't know what to do with all this speed. Upload more I guess!

Hey Tyler, thanks for watching! The first step of defeating stylophobia is admitting it so you’re well on your way :)
Great video! Thanks!
Stylophobia - The fear of pens.
I'm more afraid of ideas.
They'll either be therapy or make you need it.
So many truisms in one video, thanks Jesse.
Congrats on your high fibre diet. Nothing wastes more time than a good internet connection. Or a bad one.
Yes, my internet connection is very regular now!
Just wanted to say that I do not want to see Jesse embarrass himself.
I think it’s too late :)
@@jessesenko Ha! Thank goodness the Internet has a short memory.
What would you say your average upload speed was over your ownership period?
The last few times I checked before unplugging it was around 10 up. But I think a good average would be more like 20 up. This is all from memory but will do a speed check once the account is finished transferring to my friend.
Ha. I loved this

Upload didn’t change much but its tolerance of obstructions and download speed consistently improved

It works intermittently. Lots of Reddit threads on it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Sorry for all you went through.
The struggle is real :)
tp link deco X20 ( 3pack ) wi FI 6 mesh system
Starlink jesse I sub for that! +1
Your instagram and whatever issue, DNS right there. Changing your DNS to something normal would prob help.
Can't remember if i tried that, I tried a few things that people suggested.. i'm not too savvy with the networking 😬
ok
