i got starlink and the highest download speed I've seen is 214 Mbps. definitely the best for rural customer
Incredible video Tech Man Pat, loving this Starlink content, a lot of value to us local Aussies.
Thank you sir !
My only feedback would be to test it for longer while in game. That disconnect you saw in the lobby while in the game might not have been good. Play a full game of LoL, Warzone, CoD, or whatever you choose and see how it goes.
Will do thank you! in the video I cut out about 40mins of game play, i didn't get any disconnects in that time.
Agree as that would be the deciding factor for online gaming.
I live in rural Georgia, USA. Mine is finally on the way after 18 months. I can't wait to get back into gaming.
It took 18 months for you to get your hardware? I am also wanting to get Starlink.
@@CoderSal-XIII Yea but it was mainly waiting for them to send up more satellites to expand service in my area.
This is better than I thought. Good investigation.
I live in the far north of Sweden (above the article circle) and I’m on Starlink for about a month now. Game changer. It’s really good.
Very helpful can’t wait for mine 😊💯
Cool... Be really helpful to know which sat you are using
My biggest problem with gaming on my 4G connection is when activity happens on the line ping jump to 600+, during steam download the onscreen latency graph is steady! that impressive, i am considering starlink everyday when the internet is bad again... maybe its time to just do it:)
What Is Jitter?
Jitter is a term used to describe the inconsistency in latency (or time delay) between packets of data traveling over a network. This can be caused by congestion on your ISP’s connection or slowdowns that happen further along in your route. If you’ve ever noticed some lag when playing an online game, this could be due to jitter.
Jitter is often used in network monitoring to determine how consistent a connection is. If you have jitter on your line, it means that the data packets are arriving inconsistently and not necessarily when they’re supposed to. This can contribute to latency problems or slowdowns in gameplay for online gamers.
What Is the Difference Between Jitter and Ping?
The difference between jitter and ping is that jitter measures inconsistency while ping measures latency. Jitter means that packets are coming in at different times, which can be caused by congestion on the network or issues with your ISP’s connection. Ping tells you how long it takes for a packet of data to get from one point to another along its route.
Wow thanks for the info..I never knew.
Thank you for the video Pat. I'm really impressed with the stability of your connection.
I think it's a great idea to have as many backup Internet connections as possible, for example 5G or other solutions, so even if Starlink would have issues you're secured. Even though I know it's only a test for you since you don't use Starlink on a day to day basis.
My personal Experience from down in Dunsborough. I get just 80 - 90 ping on MW2 at all times. It seems about the same as I was getting with Telstra (which is surprising). Absolutely mind-blowing speeds with my highest recorded was 320 down! And I'm downloading things on Steam at around 25mb down which is crazy, I downloaded MW2 today in under 20 minutes. I need to add that I'm using 3 Xiaomi AX3000's with the primary mesh router connected straight to my PC. The starlink router is proper sh*t and I would highly recommend just using anything else, even if its just for ethernet. One day on CW I was getting like a 1 second spike up to 120 ping, but tbh as a competitive player If the latency counter wasn't on, I wouldn't have even noticed it. We also brought the dish camping a few weeks ago and it worked amazingly, we were pulling 260 down in a SOS only zone. Highly recommend it I have been blown away by the performance.
I'm downloading mw2 now and it has more than 2 days left on my WiFi
damn youre not wrong im getting 11% packet loss on the starlink wifi. i got starlink today and was about to give up on it already
if i knew it was this fked i would have ordered an adapter with it. now i have to wait
never mind, the packet loss went away after i assigned an SSID and password
Starlink is good for downloading and upload large files, but when I play overwatch, there’s alot of projectile characters, and I’ll notice that around ever 10-20 seconds I’ll get packet loss and if I’m shooting a projectile, the game doesn’t register the bullets to where I’m shooting them, I notice this because I’ll shoot, I see the impact on the character models, but sometimes no damage is registered. I’ve tested with other games too and the 10-20 second packet loss is constant throughout. It’s very unplayable, and I just want someone to let me know of any solutions thanks!
i am an international student in Australia, but for most the players to have some the time playing on other country servers is unavoidable, what ping will we have if we are
using the start link to play the US server ??
Im RV travelling and mainly play squad. Starlink has come up several times in my options for internet, can you do a video playing squad if you havent already?
Man I live in the Falkland Islands, and we have a company called sure, they are so bad it takes 24 hours to download a gigs byte, and the government made it illegals to use anything other than sure!
If I can get my hands on this I’m gonna do online stuff!
Me who has starlink and an ethernet motherboard in my PC 💀
What is that headphone you're using?
Hey pat I'm in North qld can you tell me what nat type you get on ps5 through starlink as call of duty don't let you play if nat type 3
I'd be curious to see what sort of a ping you get to USA servers. Back in the day we used to play LoL on the USA servers before they rolled out OCE in Sydney and would usually get 120ms+ which was playable. Genshin Impact is playable and that's similar pings as they are USA servers. Starlink may well have better routing.
Yeah i wonder that myself, will test !
From Australia to usa yeah nah 120ms isn't possible unless you broke the speed of light barrier
latency is a lot higher for u also as the POP is in Sydney and like u said on fiber in Perth ur typically 50-70ms latency and starlink adds at least 20-40 so 70-110 is quite reasonable. But for most of Australia and nz with starlink wd be 20-60ms.
Have you tried using VPN and connecting it to US server, to see if you can get a lower ping if you connect to a different region?
That ping for gaming is nearly unacceptable.
i leave in the mountains so i dont have good net, i want to try starlink but here in Argentina we have to wait until 2024
What application do you use to measure the uptime and latency?
I had the same question. U found it ??
So far there is no data limit for residential plan in Australia, yet.
1TB limit is more of the limit in US and business plan (AU).
I expect it to come to aus very soon.
I think you talk about the priority plan, wich is 1TB of priority data. For normal use they dont have any data limit, not in Norway either, and it is one year now :)
Just got my Starlink kit over the weekend. Where I live, basically my two options are 30-80 ping internet with horrible download speed (5mbps) or Starlink (60-100) ping with 100mbps download. Its definitely nice to not have to wait hours for an update on a game, and ping is definitely playable
100mbps is good, I use to be on 100mbps down and up for a really long time. I upgraded to 1 gig and been using it for a year now
Yay i can play battlefield again then? Haven't played since i moved into the sticks. Saved a ton of money but no Internet until this skynet went active
On battlefield 1 I get high ping around 130-250+ but it does still seem playable for the most part like I can still hit shots snipping which is huge
This is what I was looking for. Ahh got me nervous. Haven't played that game since I moved
My current internet is 3mbps down and up, but I get about 1.5 down and not even 1mbps up. My ping goes from like 80 to 110 most of the time with moments of like 300 but then back down. I’m hoping starlink will be better than this. I’m just glad I get the trial period, since I paid the $600 equipment fee lol
Hi, are you able to provide feedback on your experience?
What headset is that?
Can you do another video to see the difference to now to when you posted this video
i grew up gaming on dial up, yall are spoiled
Ur not the only one. I remember waiting for 3 days to download Minecraft on dial up and u can’t call me spoiled when I’m the one paying for starlink lmaoo
Same, I just got internet via 5g home modem about 4 years ago. And we first got city water about 15 years ago lol. This is in kentucky not far from civilization. I go hunting in rual north dakota and see buried internet service panels everywhere and im like wtf
Just remember when us old timers were gaming, we had pitiful graphics. Games today are near photogenic.
I grew up playing agains the computer or friends in the neighborhood. We didn’t have console multiplayer gaming until I was already an adult
No cares about your pac man online lobbies!
Amazing video! Do you think its a good alternative for gamer who is playing in US server from Australia/New Zealand or any other parts of the world? I was thinking if its a satellite based it would lower the latency to region who is very far from each other. Like from AU/NZ using VPN to connect to a US server. I hope you can respond on this. As a long of gamer having this problem.
I dont think so, the ground station is still located in Aus, and so you will be playing out of Aus.
Im in Florida in no where land lol m. Most I can get is 25 . But ps5 test shows 10 download and upload is maybe 2 kbyte... it's dog water lol . I play apex overwatch and cod . Would you say this stalink will majorly improve my gameplay . I'm always lagging and getting disconnected as of now
Im from Melbourne, we have decent internet, but i want to play on other servers overseas without 250 ping, locally i sit on around 55 on a good server for Sea of Thieves (if i get a local server)
Ping while playing with a server on the otherside of the world is based on distance of cables run, it cant be brought down past a certain constrained threshhold, im curious to know what we get on starlink with no cables.
Good stuff. But there are to many variables for this so it's all based on each individual persons location. But thank you for sharing
Absolutely :)
How about if you have two gamers in a house hold and one who streams tv shows? I’m talking one plays call of duty on console, and other PC games?
100 ping is unplayable, well I guess its alright if ur from NZ / Austria
E z
Do you mean Neuseeland / Australien? Austria is a different country
i play on an iphone 8 hotspot and main 80-100 ping 70 on a good day and up to 800 when it's raining and yet i still dominate the lobby💀
@@lizilec now THIS is hardcore gaming
I get 1400ms ping with hughesnet so this is amazing, it can get as low as 30-40ms with starling and I just got it. It’s amazing.
RIP Hughesnet
As a broadband tech for 20 years..gaming over an internet connection that doesnt get to you hardwired\fibered is a "last resort" only option if you want an honest opinion. If youre serious about gaming your prioritization of internet should be this: dedicated fiber from a traditional telecom, VDSL over copper from a traditional telecom, and then internet from a traditional coax company ie spectrum, comcast, xfinity, etc etc third. Coming in fourth would be home internet from A 5 g cellular provider, 5th would be starlink and other satellite providers. Although I would put Starlink at.the front of the satellite provider list. Just too much latency. But, again, if you have no other options i guess you take what you can get.
Unless the only option you have is att who throttles your internet.
I had att, they only offered the 10mbps speed, yet we would only get 6mbps. Gaming was impossible if anyone was streaming
I would love to have fiber myself, but Starlink was the better option for me after trying the other providers you also named. Would be good during daytime, but whenever someone else used internet across the county and at the island I live, it went to shit. Starlink fixes this... Not going to pay 2000$ for digging and getting up a fiber connection either at a place Im only renting :O
I just ordered Starlink today I am moving to regional QLD and only had satellite options and after hearing that most companies can only get me below 8mbps I bit the bullet and got Starlink. Hopefully worth the $
How it go for u so far
@@bilal17446 Absolutely loving it, I hardly notice drop outs if I ever even have any I don't even check the app for my speeds or dropouts because I don't have any issues last I checked I was getting anywhere from 40mbps to 200mbps download and my upload is like 5mbps but I hardly notice downloads big files quickly and is 10x better than friends who live in town, I can game on one monitor watch a stream/ stream myself plus have live sports streaming on the tv all through starlink. I think it's pretty impressive (touch wood I haven't jinxed myself)
@@ChrisavelliOCEnice, hows the speed on bad weather? Like lets say when its raining.
@@bilal17446 Have had plenty of storms and rainy days/nights and the only time I notice anything wrong is when my whole house power has been lost. still game online and stream in bad weather even in high winds
@@ChrisavelliOCE ah nice thnx man for this info. Appreciate it 🫡
So you got the Ethernet adapter for wired connection?
correct
another option is a 5g hotspot with calyx. depending on cell coverage you can totally game on 5g.
I do this when I’m out of town for work and the hotel internet is below par. Just wish someone offered a truly unlimited hotspot
Calyx does . But the initial cost is high. But rounds out to being less than 50 bucks a month. I'm otr driver and every now and then I'll fire up rocket league.@@JakeLee1193
@@JakeLee1193 That is the thing, they dont provide unlimited... That is why Im going from using my phone 5G, with 100gb at max speeds, but after that, 3mpbs and unplayable... At least Starlink will give me another and better experience. Im not a competetive gamer, gaming for money, I play casually for entertainment and for that Starlink is all good from my understanding :D Not going to pay 2000$ for digging and getting up a fiber connection at a place Im only renting :O
is it viable to stream while gaming at the same time ?
I'm curious to know the before and after using Starlink concerning different servers? Say i play LoL on EU with 30ms and i get 100-150ms on NA if i switch servers, would starlink reduce my NA ping or will it stay the same?
it will stay the same, Starlink uses local ground stations.
@@TechManPat Oh i see. Thank you for clarifying that. I move a lot between UK and Mauritius and the latter has a really bad connection for gaming and they've just started rolling out pre-orders for starlink there. I guess i might try it to see how it goes.
I can say for customers in America, Starlink works a lot better for us and can sustain online gaming. Starlink is mainly based in America and you can get up to around 200 download and 80 upload on a good day, especially if you have an antenna
Is it true they got rid of unlimited data?
@@helljumper115 They were planning on it late last year, delayed it to early this year and then decided against it, so I think it’s unlimited rn
Theres 10,000 satellites literally orbiting the earth so being in America doesn’t make it preform any better
@@IlLAD3LPH1A215 that's definitely not how satellites work but ok
i have this problem where on my older gen xbox one was running way faster and stable starlink but on my newer series s xbox it’s way more laggy even though it says no latency on the starlink app and on my xbox do you know how to fix this?
Cable or wifi ?
i am looking for comments regarding starlink vs ESO. thanks in advanced.
I believe that eso requires a constant ip session when going between reagions. Does the starlink satalite
hopping cause an issue?
can you test, like, remote controlling another pc, how usable it is?, like to work on remote computer through starlink input lag
Good idea, I might have to try that out on the new version.
Is this portable for truck driver?
Not this version but the RV version is made for it
downloads are much faster than what we get and we dont have starlink. Our current isp has a download of 20mbps. We live about 10 min from the city so idk why we cant get faster. Im assuming those speeds are good enough to stream to friends in discord at say 720p or even 1080p.
The problem I got with Starlink is that some days I can play no problem other days I will start playing and a couple minutes in it will drop me out of a match at random
bro mb/s is the same as mbps. The thing is the upper case B (bytes) or lower case b (bits). One byte is formed of 8 bits therefore one megabyte (MB or mB) is equal to 8 megabits (mb or Mb). 1MBps or 1MB/s (megabyte per second) equals 8Mbps or 8Mb/s (megabits per second)
good video bro, I cant get Starlink here in Perth northern suburbs? where are you approximately?
Im southern suburbs near Murdoch uni.
@@TechManPat I'm up northern suburbs and I'm not in the zone according to the map and neither are you? I wonder if it'll work for me
No it will not, it’s not like wireless where if you are a little bit further it will work, there is a very specific set of requirements for it to work. You will have to wait unfortunately
I just wanna get really low ping, will Starlink give me that? I live in South America and I always connect to USA East servers. All my life. That's like a 110 ping average. How the hell can I lower it to at least under 50?
Whats your ping to NA or EU from Perth with Starlink?
have you tried this?
So I want to play with my friends from EU and I live in Japan. I want to play at EU servers, with the Startling I will get around 70-90 ping?
No, it still comes from Australian data centre, the ping I’m showing here is to local servers
My internet is bad like every day and night I get 30 ping however it will jump to 500 for no reason for a few mins and be fine. I am wondering if Starlink is good for online mp games?
I am getting thoughts from my friends and other people I know so please give me anything if it’s worth it and will be fine with online
bro can you test starlink + cloud gaming for example the new geforce now ultimate with up to 120 fps streaming ._.
Ahh man ! I just finished with the business starlink I should have done that !
Do you have a wired connection with starlink or are you using wifi.
Wired
what kind of starlink plan you subscribe?
Hi Mate, I don’t have it anymore I was only testing temporarily
Here in VIC, I'm on a 100/40 fttp nbn plan and the latency is around 10-14ms. Going from that to starlink at 80ms is absolute bs. Starlink would be good as a backup network or everyday Internet and not suitable for low latency gaming. (Or if you're living in the bush)
What happens if you connect to a server in another Continent for example? What is the latency?
Generally the ping is based on the closest ground station, so if you are in east coast of Australia you will get a ping from there
@@TechManPat Thanks for letting me know.
I have been thinking of buying a starlink with a ground station in North America and then move to South America.
But I am not sure what is going to happen with NA servers' latencies will be, or if the connection will be better using the conventional internet providers.
How is the latency playing on overseas servers? I heard laser crosslink will make latency overseas more playable
Its based on where the land base tower is, and at the moment that locks you down to how fast you will connect to overseas servers.
Starlink > Satelite > Base Station > Server
try hunt show down
Are you playing wired or with wifi?
Wired to starlink
@tech man Pat, I have Starlink and with mw3 I constantly get packet burst and it lags, do you have any clue how to fix this?
The problem here is that everyone’s location on starlink will have different performance , you could try moving your antenna around to try different spots around your home
just FYI MB (big B) is pronounced megabyte, not megabit (big difference)
Can starlink work say during a thunderstorm?
Service degrades during heavy rain.
so is starlink getting an average of 80ping?? for pro gamers you need 20-40. is this not possible yet with starlink?
correct
60mbps at peak hours . It's a good deal indeed
That is a pretty bad connection. Here in Croatia when the sky is clear I get downloads between 150 to 250 Mbit/s and uploads between 25 to 40 Mbit/s. When the sky is very cloudy it is about 70-80 Mbit/s.
Starlink created for rural areas
Me on my nbn download 11mbs and upload is 0.5
It’s MB not mb.
B=Byte while b=bits.
Byte is 8 bits.
Bro can you make a video test playing pubg
I play from Nigeria and my latency is 150ms. I still get a lot of kills on halo infinite and apex legends with 150ms ping
I think you would do even better with a lower ping
@@TechManPat yea but that's not possible until game developers create an African game server. I connect to UK game servers when gaming from Nigeria which is the closest server to Nigeria. My lowest ping when connected to UK servers is 130ms but usually hovers around 140-160ms
Plz test fifa 23 or eafc 24 ...
Sorry mate. I had a short time frame with the dish
There's a gigantic problem with the latency in most of these home internets T-Mobile Verizon so whatever you do don't get that because the ping will kill you LOL
Coulda got a 5g EE router for half the price
mb does not equal MB. Look up megabit/s vs megabyte/s
My starlink can’t even run any of the games I play
I'm a rural so only option has been DSL for playing games, I HATE the bandwidth. but I don't think I can take the hit in ping to these numbers, one thing I will say about my service, even though. I have to take forever to DL a game, patch, or mod and I cant stream my games (I can watch perfectly fine). the pings are low 20s to high 70s and most often 45-55. playing from 70 UP...... ug... no thanks, I play to many FPS survival and FPS adventure games. most servers I play on if you hit 100ms it will auto boot for being to high.
Before i even watch 10 seconds of this video, I know the whole online games sphere is latency (all other things being equal). Latency of 10ms with 10mbps and you're golden. 50ms and 50mbps and you get a golden shower 😞And, I've never played an online game in my life.
Haha
Hi bro , can you test efootball 23 please
Because I want to buy starlink
Sorry mate, i cannot, i do not have it anymore.
100ms ping is default for Kazakhstan
Can you play on servers around the world? I'm an immigrant in Australia and I would like to play with my friends from Brazil
No you will still get a ping as if you are in Australia
7:30 What do you mean by these numbers here?
1mb/s = 8.3mbps?
mbps and mb/s are different values
@@TommyAlks Please clarify what each one stands for
@@bororobo3805 Megabytes per second
Megabits per second.
Find a calculator online to convert as required.
The speed in which you see downloads on Steam is generally megabytes per second, the same metric for speed that a USB uses when you copy files between the stick and your PC.
Megabits relates to data transmissions.
Can you test out war thunder on Starlink
Sorry mate I don’t have it anymore
80ms is horrible.!
I have 10mb internet only with Frontier communication (They don't provide higher) and I get 23ms.
Just spent money on ordering starlink now I feel as if I should cancel this service
You probably wont notice it as much as the numbers say
wow
80 Ping is horrible wtf. Everything >30-40ms is unacceptable for shooters.
Bro under 100 is playable
@@MaxMustermann-vy7ur No, a latency of 100ms is definitely not playable. Officially, 20-50ms is the maximum delay to have a reasonably smooth gaming experience. Less than 20ms results in an optimal gaming experience and more than 50ms cause lag and reaction problems. With a 100ms ping you play bronze or silver in every shooter. It is completely beyond me how you can title a 100ms ping as playable. The game starts, but that's about it. You'll struggle with response lag, actor offset, async, and more, all the while being 0.0 competitive.
Lol 100 latency and lower is totally playable.
@@DF-qq5wu 100 ping is playable, csgo runs like butter and I top frag on a mobile hotspot with 100-140ping
The real tester would be apex legends
Not that impressive. Had to use a mobile router for a while and I got like 40-70ms ping
80 it's too high
But for people in rural areas its great you realize
ok i know im 2months late but could you test Apex Legends
Mine is ~200ms. Can't game with that. 😠
Viendo este video después del DNU de Milei jajaja
Fornite & warzone
If its competitive anything over 50 is useless
with star link i be getting like 30 to 40 ping hightest it will go is 90
The audio is de-synced in this video, it's annoying as all hell.
