…and the NBN was a massive F U to Telstra!!😂 👍👍 The pricks at Telstra tried twice to tender for the NBN and wouldn’t provide cost estimates, even stipulating that it would have to operated on Telstra servers… guess who had the last laugh😂 . Love it!!
ACMA needs to stop this. If Telstra can't supply a direct service via mobile or NBN then the customer has other choices. StarLink was designed to offer a service into Australia, let the customers contact them. Will Optus and TPG be allowed to do the same 🤔
So I fit the category of very remote Thank you so much for this video I am calling telstra right now. We have an emergency phone line. But lately, the copper cable hasn't been working. And we go months and months without phone. Using the sky master satellite, you cannot make good clear phone calls. Yeah, telstra is sending us a satellite phone right now. But it hasn't been working correctly. Thanks again
@@DementedPiXi I completely agree with you. I just wanna stick with one telecommunication provider. These days I seem to have to have so many apps on my mobile phone. If I could just ring styling, give them my credit card number and then All is sweet. I'm probably old-fashioned. I Chase cows for a living.
if you live in the middle of nowhere you probably spend a lot of time in your car where your MOBILE matters, not your "phone". Sounds like a Starlink with a Telstra branded repeater (which comes with just about every Asus Wifi6 router, all which have ethernet)
It i get a gen1 starlink with the ethernet port? Can I use this with my home NBN modem when away in the caravan using my NBN data? Assume the modem/routers are the same whether Nbn or satelitte???
Not quite, One NZs deal is not the same as this, the Starlink x One NZ agreement allows customers to use their smartphones to connect via satellite when they are in areas that don’t have cellular coverage.
Question has to be asked… why not just get StarLink to begin with? Telstra never does anything for the best of the consumer… sounds like they’re trying to suck in remote users, using Telstra (inferior) hardware to piggy back some form of Telstra infrastructure into StarLink?!?
A terrible choice. Two geo stationary star muster satelites can serve 100k people at same speeds. Starlink is a harebrained idea, 10k satelites needed to support a network with 60% redundancy. Jesus wept
How good is geostationary latency? Let alone the terrible bandwidth. This is just blatantly false, and it's the laws of physics you're arguing against.
@@Noahrama OK let's take a look. Sky muster 1a and 1b have a current total theoretical throughput of 135gbps, wow that's impressive. However 100,000 people using this would mean 1.35mbit per person which is only theoretically. Hmm, seems a bit slow. Of course the starlink satellites are servicing narrower fields of people as they pass overhead at 500-600km giving it much better ratios of users per satellite at any given time. Also it's a lot easier to upgrade big stacks of cheaper satellites in leo rather than the 37,000 or so km to geostationary orbit. It's old tech that isn't useful for the average consumer where low latency response is interpreted as fast by the average Joe. Also all the traditional geo net offers in the marine industry have been scrambling and squirming to offer faster plans now that the heat is on, love to see it.
@@Noahrama I'm not sure what you're referencing as the wiki says total current throughput of the two skymuster satellites is 135gbit. But honestly the point is moot when real world end user speeds (cause the things are 37000km away) for sky muster are around 10-25mbit whereas starlink is 50-150. It's not even close. Also data caps.
no way, i really hope this brings publicly routable ips to telstra starlinkers
I was recently in NZ, they have a subsidiary of Vodafone over there called OneNZ who is partnering with StarLink for broadband and cellular somehow
That’s a massive F U to the nbn. Love it!

Exactly, this is a very strange partnership and I assume it cannot be exclusive

I am directly with Starlink. Have been since its beta. I’d just go with Starlink.

“‘Telstra’… for when you need it most!”🤡🤡… But we can’t!!
So we’ll just piggy back more innovative companies and charge you more!
Is Tech Man Pat partnering with Codral Cold and Flu :D
A partnership made in heaven

HOLY SMOKES! That is big dealio.
Epic announcements to move the sp
@@TechManPat pump and dump, go go go!
Vodafone (One NZ) has already partnered with starlink way before Telstra. so no, its not a worlds first

@@TechManPatouch… and Telstra doesn’t?! What’s the point then?
This is the first I have heard of this. Thanks. Just one thing. Your accent is a little 'different'. Any ways Cheers from QLD.
Oh and get a hair cut. LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here come the hair comments hahaha yes thank you :)
@@TechManPat 💇♂
what if you're camping in the outback?
Then good luck to you :)
just get your own starlink then i guess? what do u think
Buy your own Starlink Roam.
Hopefully i actually get 0 ping now 💀
Haha
Space junk in the making 😢
starlink is already up there. nothing new here

@@MaxVanderLeden latency aside bandwidth is comparable. Stop lying

@@MaxVanderLeden each satellite has 80Gbit per second you only have to look at the wiki...
