You're wired connection was much better than mine! Was only getting 3 mbps down and 0.6 up here in Maine. Just got Gen 2 Starlink up and I'm averaging around 200 mbps down and 16 mbps up. Feels nice to be in the 21st century finally!
I understand. I took us years (and thousands) of country living to settle on an overpriced WISP with spotty service. A lot of folks have commented the same. I'm really grateful we now have the option to use Starlink. It's been incredible so far!
I live in Maine too. Internet is horrible in Maine. Mine goes out on me constantly.
@@michelejones5538 Yup! Over half the time my Consolidated was out. It was like fair weather internet lol.
I live in Maine too, horrible connection switched from US Cellullar to Viasat, not much better, but going to Starlink soon, thanks for the info
Also from Maine. My speed test was .19 mbps. Yes, 1/5 of a megabyte. I ordered starlink yesterday. can't wait.
We live in remote rural Idaho. Starlink is the best thing to happen to us in a long time. I can now use DropBox like a hard drive for reports in progress. There are a few minor dropouts, but nothing compared to the super slow internet speeds of our land-line. No drop in speed when school lets out, which used to be the bane of my business life.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. There are a lot of folks that don't live in the country and they will never understand the struggle. This really is a game changing tech for us and I honestly never thought I'd see the day we could get decent internet. We are really grateful!
We are also at the corner of No and Where, Idaho. Just got rid of Rise Broadband and installed Starlink on Saturday. We all love it. Been playing with it for about a month now, but finally got it up where it needed to be happy.
Thanks for sharing! This gives me hope too!
We are in very remote eastern Washington, and are suffering from HughesNet slowness. My question is, we are in dense trees and it took forever to get a very small window. Would Starlink work? We do have a bit of a open yard and we are wondering if it uses just one satellite or multiple?
You can use the starlink app to check for a clear view of the sky. It definitely connects to multiple satellites.
I've had Starlink for just over a month. Previous cable internet was pulling 2-3 down and 0.1 up. Starlink speeds fluctuate, but I'm typically getting at least 100 down and 20 up. Ran a speed test yesterday and had 635 down 469 up. So it definitely varies from amazing to still far better than anything else I have access to. Rural Louisiana here.
Wow that's great. So far we've averaged about the same speeds.
the more satelites he gets up the better itll become
if your antenna get multiple satellites the speed gets higher
Wow over 600? That's like fiber throughput
Starlink's download speed goals are 10Gbps! If they even even get close to that it's going to change the planet!
Thanks for showing us your new Starlink setup! We are so excited for you! Also, thank you for taking the time to set up all your camera positions when you are showing us what you do. We know it takes you ten times (at least) longer to do your job. We really appreciate it! Also, thank you for the extra work you do in all your editing of your videos! We feel like we are part of your family! Take care and may God OVERWHELM you with blessings!
This is one of kindest comments we've ever received! It means the world to us thank you. It really does take a lot of planning and effort to make these videos, but we love the process and folks like you are exactly what motivates us to do better! God bless!
LOL....We are God....and so we can overwhelm ourselves with Blessings.....2022 and people still thinking God is a male.....in a white robe....with a gray beard....sitting on a throne in the sky somewhere....watch and listening to 7 Billion people all at once....while billions of dead people sit in front of HIM singing songs for all eternity......BORING......anyway....I'm serious and just having run with ya.....don't get all twisted up in your panties! Peace.....
So happy for you guys. It’s wonderful to see folks pleased with products. Finding reliable gear is such a joy these days.
Really appreciate that, and I completely agree! It's hard to find anything that is built to last as well.
I received my gen2 starlink kit on Monday and so far so good.
Awesome!
So happy for you! I preordered back in June and FINALLY got my confirmation e-mail to complete my order yesterday! I have ViaSat and can’t wait to give it the boot!
Yes! That's awesome news! Hope it works well for you!
Just helped a buddy set his up in Hempstead (a little northwest of Houston). Happy to see the units starting to trickle into Texas. I'm still waiting for mine to go on our ranch just north of San Antonio.
Awesome! Hope you get it soon!
Enjoyed your video, we just got our Starlink about a month ago and really been enjoying it. We are fulltime RVers and so far been able to use it in a couple different areas.
That's great to hear. I know there has been a lot of confusion around roaming - me included. It's good to hear it's working for some folks. Gald yall enjoy it and thanks for the kind words!
@@SixthDayRanch Yes we just moved for the first time since we got It last week and luckily enough it was the day they turned on roaming for most of us. So we're currently about 40 mi from our service address but my friends are here with us and they're about 200 plus miles away
That's awesome! Next time we travel I'm going to take it to try out. When my boys are done with school we may try to RV some. It looks like it's a lot of fun.
BTW just subbed your channel. Great content keep up the good work!
@@SixthDayRanch thanks
Hey folks,
I just got my Starlink package today!! Thanks for uploading this. You may be teck savvy, but I'm not. So I appreciate it when good folks like you upload your expertise for us baby boomers.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words. Always happy to help as much as we can!
Great Video!! THANK YOU! We will have our Gen 2 in about 2 weeks, and cant wait!! A good day for us is currently 12mbps download speed so very excited to see what we get!
Awesome! I hope it works well for yall!
So happy that you received your Starlink, I just received my e-mail yesterday that ours is on the way. You helped me to stop worrying about the setup. But being an old lady that does not know about a lot of this new fangled stuff, I hope to hard-wire it when the Ethernet adapter gets here, so hope you give us some info about that after you hardware yours. Thank you
You got this! Really happy to hear the video helped. We will do our best to provide an update video once we get the Ethernet adapter installed. We are still waiting on our mount unfortunately. Thanks for commenting and have a great day!
We just posted a video on the ethernet adapter: ruclips.net/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/видео.html
I mounted my Starlink Dishy on a 60 foot steel pole with mechanical lift for access/ serving, I get 100 to 200 meg download consistantly over the past year, recently installed the same type pole in my neighbor's area, we live in S. Oregon deep wooded area with 100 ft trees around use.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment. Can you please share the pole that you purchased and how much was it. Just received my order confirmation today and should be getting it in 2 weeks and looking for the best way to mount it. Link for the 60-foot pole and price will be great. Thanks again
I lived on an ocean front property years ago and had to get an ISDN circuit with a microwave antenna setup. Got 1.5 down and 0.3 up for $285/mo. I’m on fiber now and routinely get 150-225 down and 10-20 up for $70/mo.
Wow that's really good!
I live in Northern Ontario, Canada. Way way up north, our regular service here gives us about 1MB/s speeds for our whole home it’s a nightmare to do anything, but Starlink has just unrolled for us about 4 months ago and I’ve heard nothing but good things. We ordered ours and we’re kind of upset about the wait but we’re getting the second gen dish now, it should be here anyway. Can’t wait to have it. Average speeds here are 100-300mb/s, best tech to have been released for hard service areas.
Thanks for the upload.
You're welcome! That's awesome!
We're still waiting in NC, I'm glad you have it. Zero apologies needed, farm life is here as well❤️
Love it! Hope yall get it soon. Thanks for watching and hope yall have a great one!
wow. the most simple set up ive ever seen. they have made it simple and easy enough that anyone in the world can have it ready in minutes. easy access to wifi and information to a small village in the middle of Africa, and great, fast internet access for someone like myself who lives in the foothills of the appalachian mountains and it can be hard to find a good provider sometimes
They really did a great job! Engineering excellence. Except for maybe the lack of of an ethernet port. It's super simple and it just works. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment here.
Problem is with the packages... anyone in Africa, Asia will not able to afford it with current prices.... In Asia we are used to pay like max $15 per month for 16Mbs+ packages .... and Starlink packages start from $99
You guys are awesome! Thanks for showing the walk-thru of the setup...excited to get mine!! BTW - Nice property...jelly. :)
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words! I hope it works well for you. Ours is going strong, though the speeds have decreased a lot.
That was a great video, looks like Starlink satellite internet is a keeper. I’m going to get mine right now.
Thank you for making these awesome videos
Thank you for the kind words and support! It's definitely a keeper! Have a great day!
Always do a reboot from within the Starlink App on the wifi and the router once a day. That will dramatically help with speeds... Also put the dish into stow mode and then hit un stow once a day and that will also force to dish to find a more preferred satellite which helps the speeds big time. I am in a waitlist area with the RV version and my speeds are always up near 70-100Mb download. Get 2-3 mesh units as well.... Huge difference !! AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the info. I would be careful following this advice. If you have to reboot and or stow this once a day you'd be significantly reducing the life of the product. This should not be required if installed in a good obstruction free location. I haven't rebooted mine once and my speeds stay great.
Thanks, this is awesome and need to have.
Thanks for the kind words!
That is AWESOME and COOL!!! The speed is amazing too! Thanks for sharing btw!
Thanks for the kind words! You're welcome ans thanks for watching!
Wow, what an improvement over cable...something I will be seriously considering when it arrives in my area.
It definitely has potential. Thanks for watching!
Your up speed with out was twice what I ever got. I now have starlink and I'm looking at 250 up. Off grid 28 yrs.
Wow those are great speeds!
Hello from the Philippines🇵🇭. I watched your video and I was impressed by the performance of your starlink. Though it still has a long way to go I am so bullish that this stuff will be successful moving forward
Thank you for the kind words! Phillipines is a beautiful country! I agree with you. It will take some time to determine long term stability and success of this tech.
Great news! Just saw the news today that Philippines has officially approved Starlink for use. Current estimate is approx. 6 months for a ground station to be setup and kits will hopefully start shipping soon after.
Thanks for showing us this useful info. And happy for that you are happy with star link. Good for you guys.
You are welcome and thank you!
Great video! I waited over a year too and Starlink is finally shipping to my location. Initially going to run terrestrial cable Internet and Starlink, both hooked to programmable router so I'll have Internet connectivity no matter what happens.
Thanks! That's a great idea and it would be even cooler if you could bond the connections!
So, I am currently in the closed beta mesh network test. I am happy to report that the system is incredibly easy to add to an existing system. The mesh is extremely effective. The mesh router hardware is already inside the gen 2 routers. I am also able to daisy chain the mesh routers for loooong distance wifi The mesh routers are interchangeable with the main router. I have 4 routers total.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us. That setup is going to be ideal for a lot of people.
@@SixthDayRanch update. Since customer service is minimal, here is a way for someone to sell and transfer their account. The seller will need to have the buyer change the billing info on the seller's account to the buyers CC info.
FYI you can also factory reset a mesh router, sell it to an existing starlink customer without contacting the help desk. They can install it as as their own. The equipment is not bound to one specific account unlike standard cable equipment.
That’s pretty amazing speed! Would like to see them use connected ports at both ends for cleaner installation
I agree. I'm shocked they removed the ethernet port as well.
The new dish can can disconnect the cable at the dish end as well as the router end.
Yes!
Right?! Will it run StarCraft 2?
No idea! Hopefully someone can answer that for you!
Love all this y'all have shown here. I have been waiting since February 2021 and had a date for mid 2021, then late 2021, then Mid 2022, now as of last weekend it changed to June 2022. We are excited now. Viasat has done what they have done but I look forward to them being in in rear view mirror. Be are very soon now!
That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words. Hope you get it soon and it works great for yall!
Northern Ontario here. Have had Starlink for 2 or 3 weeks. It is so much better than I expected. I've only noticed one outage so far, and it lasted for about 5-10 mins. The rest have been few-second dropouts overnight.
That's awesome!
Had Hughes, certain times of day 56k dial-up would have been faster. They just kept telling me "we're launching a new 🛰 soon".
Signed up for Starlink the day they opened for sales. Finally got it this month and are amazed. Consistently 150+Meg.
Hopefully Hughes will pay for the over sold, under performance, stranglehold they had on rural folks.
I'm with you 100%. I've used them as well in the past and it's a complete scam and drained our pocket books for terrible internet.
We have HughesNet as well. A daily exercise in frustration. Horrible and expensive. We are going to try Starlink. It’s the same monthly fee and if we can actually get useable internet, it’d be well worth it
It's night and day difference and no data caps.
@@scottdesart275 when you cancel with Hughes net they will hit you with a $325 early cancellation fee. Ask me how I know. Going through it right now with my cc company and BBB complaint now. This company should be burned to the ground!
I just got my Starlink today. Screw HughesNet. Starlink is phenomenal.
Awesome! It's night and day!
Holy Smoke, that speed test blew me away!!!!
And the Self Alignging is amazing...
As a bloke that's installed Sat Dishes for 20 years, that's truly unbelievable
I'm regional on 3G unlimited (sppeds 7-12 Down and 3 Up)
Can you take your starlink anywhere in the USA or even into other countries?
Same for us. It's amazing! We do have the ability to roam and take the dish elsewhere, but you are prioritized based on your base address.
They have the RV version now and I am using it in USA and Mexico. It's pretty amazing in Mexico. I use it in a rural area with little cellphone coverage and no internet providers available. At initial setup I got 66mbps. Hopefully speeds improve but much better than 600kbps I'd get with my cell service
Real nice, been thinking about getting one, we have subscribed 😎
Appreciate it! Thanks for the support!
Thank you for this amazing video!
Thank you for the kind words!
We are still waiting on our kit to be sent (ordered with deposit in 2020) 😔. We only get on average 3.5 mbs down and .5 up on a good day. Anything Starlink will get us is an improvement. Thanks for the video.
Wow that's brutal! Hope yall get it soon!
Same in Ontario. Not even rural either. And bell charges us 150$ for it too.
Man that's terrible!
Don't give up hope! We ordered ours 1 yr ago and it came today. We live 15 minutes from town and get 3mbs, town only gets 6mbs. Can't wait to try this out. Just wish it could be ethernet and wifi at same time.
Wow satellite internet has made some strides. 200+ down was unheard of some time back. Working from home this would be a great failover for me if my main goes down. Thank you
It really has! I'm still in awe of the speeds we now get!
👍🏼 We got in the Beta program last summer (2021) and have Gen 1 "Dishy." Was great from Day 1 here on our farm two counties away from Canada! And it's become faster and more reliable over time. Not happy about the monthly fee increase ($10/month) but there's no alternative here so far. Great technology! 😎✌🏼
Thanks for sharing guys, definitely going to get this going.
Thanks man!
i can’t wait!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Tony from TV antennas Australia/Andrews home services.
We have been evaluating Starlink in Perth WA with the round dish.
The Wireless modem seemed quite slow and with short range when connected
to a windows PC or laptop.
Its Faster connected to a Mobile phone, (Android.)
Its speed is Phenomenal with a hard wire ethernet connection 329 mbs
Turning off any speed test adblockers also gave different speeds.
I Tried watching an program/app supposedly showing the position of starlink satellites over Perth to see if there was any speed or ping differences when satellites were overhead
It didnt seem to make much difference but possibly the program may be out of sync or time
The only problem now is the starlink roof mounts I made for the generation 1 (round dish) have to be redesigned for Generation 2 (Rectangular dish) and also customers are not aware that on Generation 2 their is no provision for ethernet, without the additional adapter
Otherwise an excellent system from Elon.
Great points! Thank you for taking the time to share all that.
Good Bye to my ATT pre-paid 4G router. Just ordered my StarLink yesterday. Will be ordering the ethernet connector. Thank you for pointing that out. Can't wait to bring high speed Internet to the gators:-)
Haha awesome!
We just posted a video on the ethernet adapter: ruclips.net/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/видео.html
Wow those Starlink speeds are awesome! Great video.
Thank you!
I’m off to pick mine up today! Cannot wait!
That's exciting!! Let us know if you have any questions! We would be happy to help 😊
I was disappointed to have to spend an extra $45 (CDN) for the ethernet adapter for it.. but anxiously awaiting the arrival of my system. Order is being processed for shipping!! Woohoo!
Same. Hope it works well for you!
Where do you order the Ethernet connection from?
Starlink.com
Our speeds are currently 3.0 down and 0.3 up. On a good day. Been on the waiting list for a year, they keep pushing back the service date here.
I hope the up speed is somewhat better than 10. But anything would be a huge improvement.
We average mostly around 10 up. Sometimes higher. I definitely wish it was better, but unfortunately it's still way better than what we had.
@@SixthDayRanch It's important to keep in mind that they still need to put up a lot more satellites for their constellation network, so who knows, your upload speeds could improve with time.
Exactly! Excellent point!
That speed is unbelievable small... I do understand that we cannot compare that with the wired internet.
I live in Romania, and the speed is 250Mb/s for download and upload.
I want to buy also a Starlink pack, because I want to work from remote village.
Those are great speeds my friend! Wish we had those options where we are.
First time i have seen the channel, i think its great,keep it up guys
Thanks for the kind words! Means a lot. Have a great day!
Great job on the video! 🎉
Thanks for the kind words!
One day I hope to add Starlink to my sailboat so i can get internet in the middle of the ocean when on a cruise. Not sure when Starlink will have that capability.
That would be awesome!
I am glad you got your system, I have been on the waiting list since 2-10-2021. We get less than 5 mb down and 300 kb up with Frontier DSL. SL says we should have it in April 2022. Last Year they said August of 2021 then it sliped to late 2021 and now its April of 2022.
Oh man I hope you get it soon my friend!
@@SixthDayRanch Me too I know it will be a game changer, I just hope I get it befor the SHTF. I would like to have fast internet for a little while before the balloon goes up and it all falls apart.
I hear you!
Be sure and check your email often, I missed my seven day notice and only caught it when I had three days left to confirm.
@@MsPeachesandcream I GOT IT, after ONLY waiting 14 months. My system was delevered yesterday morning and I have already installed it. I so far the fastest speeds that I have seen has been 63 Mbps down and 15 Mbps up, I was hoping for faster but that is so much better than the 5Mbps down and 300kb up with Frontier DSL.
I have a qustion I have an 8 camera video surveillance system and the video on one of my caneras is being interfered when the Starlink system is running, if I unplug the Starlink the interference goes away and as soon as I plug it back in it comes back. I have tried rerouting the Starlink cable with no luck. I will be checking all of the connection to the camera next. This is the ONLY camera in the system that is having this issue and the camera is located 75 feet from the Starlink router but all of the cables for all of my cameras come into the building at a point about 5 ft from the router. Does anyone know how to or if the 5Ghz side of the Starlink router can be turned off? I would like to see if it could be the 5Ghz could be couseing the interference.
Just got mine setup. Thanks for the help guys!!! 🙂
You're welcome!
Great video and information. Just getting ready to set mine up. Thank you. God bless
Thanks for the kind words! Hope it works well for you!
any way you could plug this into a kill-o-watt meter to see how much power it pulls. The first generation dish pulled 100+ watts 24/7 regardless so hoping thats been optimized a bit. We are off grid solar.
I wish I had one! I've been told it takes less now but I honestly don't know.
We are on solar panels and starlink does use heaps of energy
I'm currently waiting on starlink to email me about shipping, I currently get 6mbps and about half a mb up I can't wait!
The wait is worth it my friend! Hope you get your soon!
amazing! Thx for the review! 👍👍👍
You're welcome!
Texas is awesome, so are you guys! Thank you
Thanks friend!
Its sad that some Astronomer are blocking this game changer internet for remote area or not cheap internet. and maybe for poor people.
I can understand both sides of the argument for sure.
Just got mine today. Living in the country we are limited to wireless. Your BEFORE speed of 25/5 is faster than ours. Ours is 15 down and 5 up...on a GOOD day. Looking for Starlink to be a game changer for us! Thanks for the video.
How awesome! Really hope it works well for yall!
Thank you! Great help!
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for showing us!
Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
great practical and informative video, thanks
Thank you for the kind words!
Very helpful, thank you very much 🤙🏻
Always happy to help! Thank you!
Very nice video!!!! Congrats on the starlink. I subscribed to your channel and I hope to see more 😁
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words and the support!
Hell ya, thanks for the video! It just became available to us we are farmers/ homesteaders in Washington. WE have been running off verizon hotspots for 2 years! Ordering ours this week.
Thanks awesome! Happy to hear it's available for yall! Hope it works well for your needs.
Great Video man, Love your Hat :D
Appreciate it!
After 18 months my kit arrives tomorrow! This video was very helpful - can't wait to ditch our 13mbps (on a very good day) DSL. I'd be ecstatic with 40mbps, but it appears from all the comments I'm reading that would be very slow by Starlink standards!
So glad our video helped! Thanks for the kind words. Hope it works great for you!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
thanks for your info.
awaiting my unit in about 2 weeks.
we live out in the country too.
we've subsisted on our VZW phones only for almost 4 years.
can't wait to hook this to my smart tv.
Really excited for yall! It's going to be awesome for you guys! It's changed a ton for us.
We’ve been waiting for almost 2 yrs in N. Idaho. 😕. Glad you have yours.
Darn. That's a long time! Sorry to hear about that and I hope yall get it soon!
Thank you for the informative video !! I will follow your Chanel !!
Thank you!
Thanks for the demo. Mine is coming Friday here in rural NC. I currently have 3-5MBPS best day. Can't wait!
Awesome! Hope it works great for you!
When did you order yours?
@@TheMosinCrate Feb 2021, got my confirmation on April 1st, delivered last Friday. Up and running, FANTASTIC. So long Centurylink!
@@boldie24 Awesome, thank you! Congrats on getting yours.
@@TheMosinCrate Where are you at and how long waiting?
We're in the country and tech savvy from our previous jobs. We work from home now and the internet we've had is dial up slow. Just got our Starlink yesterday. So glad to see a video showing how easy it is. One question if you see this - how new are your phones? Ours are old and I'm wondering if we need to upgrade to run the app.
We do have newer phones. We buy unlocked pixels from Google. Much cheaper long term than buying a subsidized phone through att. Honestly not sure what age OS either android or ios is supported. I did figure out you can setup without a phone you just can't configure the wifi and other settings without the app. Hope it works great for you!
just got my confirmation email south texas victoria county cant wait great video thanks
Appreciate it! We are close by my friend! Goliad county here.
Just mounting base on my deck & drilled throught " header joist" and threaded cable. Will hook up inside parts on Saturday
👍👍👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾 looking great for us Rural Folks.. 🐂🐂🐂
That's AWESOME! You're so right - for those of us with no better options this is huge! Hope it works well for you my friend!
A dream! Congrats friends. 🚀
Yes! Thank you!
Mine arrived yesterday. I’m going to set it up today. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Awesome!
Thank y 'all for the info. This just made my decision to go with Star Link easier. Living in the country in Central Florida it's been a real pain to find good internet.
We feel your pain! It's still going strong for us!
Outstanding Video and report! Thank you.
2 questions:
1. With video conference calls, how often are your conference calls interrupted? This is my major worry.
2. On your existing home, how did you get the system into your home/office or IT closet? It seems the cable has fittings and such. On my house I do have a cable box, but no holes large enough for passing the cable into the home.
Cheers,
Eric
I conference multiple times daily and no issues yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way! Fortunately for me I have an existing penetration that will support the larger cable. I haven't mounted mine yet due to the delay in the mount shipping but I'll try to do a video on it when I do. Starlink does sell a wall penetration kit that looks decent. It even comes with the drill bit for the hole.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Always happy to help! Thanks for watching.
really cool , look forward to the follow up video
Thanks!
Your video really made me to get one. I've been hesitated to get one before but now I'm definitely going to get one
Depending on your existing options they are great! Thanks for sharing!
@@SixthDayRanch I ordered one right after I watched your video and yesterday I got the email from Starlink to confirm my order and they charged me to ship my equipments in two weeks.I’m really excited and cant believe that was fast process than I expected.
Wow that's great news. Thanks for keeping us updated! I hope it works well for you!
Thanks for the tutorial. I got my dish yesterday, the mount should show Thursday. Today I got the pole in the ground and ran conduit to the house. This will be great as we have no fiber, no cable. I get 1 to 2 bars VZW from a neighboring county. Subscribed.
That's awesome! Always happy to hear someone finally get better options for internet! It's been rough on us country folk for a while. Nice job getting a pole and conduit ran. How are your speeds?
@@SixthDayRanch I haven't set it up yet, because of the trees I know I've got to be 8' up about 25' from the house to get enough coverage for Starlink to be happy. The pole mount should show later this week. It's been almost an 18 month wait. A friend of mine signed up for the RV system and they shipped in 2 days. I'll let you know my speeds when I hook up.
Appreciate it! Hope it works well for you. Rv option is cool but they won't have the same speeds so it's worth the wait.
I am glad you showed us I was thinking on getting star link my self
Happy to help!
I'm definitely thinking about Starlink, we live in the smoky mountains and can loose signal too much lately
It's definitely a great option if it's available in your area.

Great video!
Thank you!
This looks pretty cool 👌👌
We agree! So far it's working great!
.... love your carpet in the living room ..... get my starlink monday .... thx for sharing your findings ..... great information re the connectivity and the improvement over 24 hrs .... saw elsewhere that roaming is also possible now. yes they do say that service is only guaranteed at the registered address, I take that just as legal hooha to keep the regulator peeps happy .... this is a game changer for lots .... thx for sharing ... Yes I did the sub and bell thingy .... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
Wow thanks for the info and the kind words!
I hope you have good results. I subscribe to a channel called Big Family Homestead, they’re here in Wisconsin (and location can matter), and their speeds went from off the charts awesome to worse than their landline internet in a couple of weeks , and at that point the company rolled out its tier plan. Things got a little better a week or two after that, but they haven’t had the results they expected for the price and promises. Y’all have a lot flatter and more open land than we do here, so maybe that’ll work in your favor. Keep us updated on its performance. We pay for satellite internet out here (25 megs) but never get more than 10-12 down and 1-2 up.
It was 45° here today, so it felt like we were in Texas, even though we were sledding with the kids 😉
Thanks! We are skeptical about the long term speed and stability so only time will tell. I've seen some really mixed reviews online. Glad yall were able to enjoy the "warm" weather!
@@SixthDayRanch thanks. Waiting for next update
So far first week was proven successful!
❤
Thanks, I found it very helpful. Country folk here from Florida. Not many of us left here in the state. 😂😫😊
Have great day!
You're welcome and welcome to our channel! We need more country folk in the country! God bless!
thank you for sharing! I'm very interested in getting one of these when I start up my homestead so this is great information for me!
I would be interested in the power requirements since I'll be completely off grid but I suppose you have no way of knowing that without a LOT of effort on your side.
45 to 300 Watts I have read :-(
@@L1vR-1948 That's a huge range :) I'll have to do some bench marking off my batteries when I get to that point. Thanks for the reply!
From Starlink: Rectangular dish power specs: 100-240VAC 50/60Hz, 50-80W Average, 95W peak(higher in snow mode) up to 300W max..
My tech guy just told me it's gonna draw 30-40 watts whenever it's operating. Option exists apparently to place system in stow mode to disable dish and stop all power consumption.
Gosh damn! I'm sold!! In the middle of the California desert I get 3-5 mb down and .3 up.
Hope you get better options soon that's brutal! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, you are wonderful people, greetings from Brazil
Thank you for the kind words! That means a lot. Hope you are doing well!
Good information. Thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I am so glad to have found your videos! Rural South Florida in desperate need of 21st century internet!! I can’t find a video to dumb it down enough for me to try connecting my Orbi w 3 satellite units to expand coverage on entire property. Love to see that if you’ve got it! God Bless!
Happy to help where we can. If you get the Ethernet adapter you should be able to plug a network cable from starlink directly to your existing internet router. This of course depends on your current internet setup.
Here's the link to the ethernet adapter video:ruclips.net/video/gBd7QmzPRGs/видео.html
Very nice!
Thanks!
We live in a remote area of Florida (near Alabama) with no fibre, cable, or landline internet service. Like you, I have satellite internet from a company that claims it provides "high speed" internet, but their definition of high speed and mine are completely different. Have had this same, awful, service for about 2 years. I just got my Starlink 4 days ago. First speed test..... 183 mbps ! ! ! ! It has NOT disappointed.
IN the same boat.And in Florida(CFL).I wish i had their beginning speeds
Been waiting fpr over a year.
At least this still seems promising
It's still unbelievable to us at this point! We are really grateful to finally have great speeds! Happy to hear yall now have it too!
Hope you get better speeds soon my friend!
You guys are the perfect fit for each other. Very refreshing to see a happy married couple in the country. I subscribed just on that.
Thanks for the kind words. God Bless!
We love it
Awesome!
Im on the list for starlink i cant wait
That's awesome!
