Three words that will rock my world? IPO.
Oooh, I know right! I feel like they'd have to get the manufacturing of the user dish to at least a break-even price point. Who knows though with this market :) I'm also waiting for those three words to rock my world :)
It will be a while, five years maybe?
Yeah, I expect they'll want to get past the "not bankrupt" milestone Elon Musk always talks about :)
@@MikeOnSpace I got lucky.. Ordered mine in may?.. Got it 2 weeks later. But I'm west coast Canada, and it cost me 799cdn and 144.00 per-month.
lower prices, telephony,tv..lol.. not much really.
It can’t come soon enough for me. I am in southern Ontario and have been using Bell cellular service which is slow to non-existent. My monthly cost for the Bell service is around $165 CDN. so Starlink will actually save me money and be a lot faster and more reliable based on reports on channels like this.
So many stories like this - I don't know how they prioritize access, but I hear from lots of people on the cell internet plans which can be really bad - and expensive like yours. My fingers are crossed for you that they prioritize your area. At least more launches are going up now, so the in-space portion continues to expand - they just need to keep improving user terminal manufacturing!
I hope coming out of beta doesn't mean slower speeds
My wish list, it becomes becomes available in my area.
redi for my dish
Lots of good info.
I live in Orange County, I would like to install starlink. Who can I go to ? I been going in circles. I was in hawthorn plant space x. They didn’t know what i was talking abut t, but that was security. Please let me know who can I go to become installer..
Out not OOch.
on my wishlist is backup option. in case my power goes out or fiber is cut. be able to have a sleeping subscription that you can activate as a backup. simply put pay per usage.
Starlink is fairy dust. Enjoy the wait while Musk enjoys the profit from your deposit. Starlink is horse muffins.
i'll take working fairy dust over zero service
@@ysesq so would i and the 600,000 100$ depositors who are being ripped off. put up your 100$ and never get any feedback.
Smart Mobility. Throw up the dish and seamlessly connect, anywhere covered by Starlink. When that happens, We'll flip over to Starlink.
Yeah, I can't wait for mobility to start working. It'll be game changing for anyone who travels a lot, RVs, etc. Thanks for watching!
I'm hoping for a dish. I ordered one months ago, promised it would arrive in December, then January, and then the end of summer. Now "they" say the end of 2021. The greatest technology ever in the history of the world means nothing if no one can have access to it.
We're in October now - they've only got three months left of "late 2021" so hopefully they get them out fast! Hopefully this chip shortage starts to let up so they can keep ramping up production!
At least you are hearing from them.
Ordered mine nine months ago and have a contract number and they used my cc for the deposit and haven't had any contact since then.
Been keeping an eye on starlink since it was named. Been on the waiting list since day one. There are people in all directions of where I am that have dishes so, it's just down to manufacturing I guess. I am tired of waiting and telus is pushing fiber out to more and more rural areas in BC. Whoever gets here first gets my money I guess.
I definitely think if fibre is available it makes sense to get it for most people. Starlink definitely wins where it's not an option. But even where it is available, it's nice that Starlink is available to avoid a monopoly situation.
I put down my deposit back in February, still no news about it. I live in Bastrop, Texas. Hope to hear something next month.
We are waiting in Spring Branch. Viasat is slow.
Waiting since February. Worst part is absolutely zero feedback on when I might get my dish. How hard can it be to provide a “you are number X in the queue and then update that once a week or so?
As long as they are in beta there is no “you are number x”. They seem to select a small number of users in a given geographical location for the beta feedback. So if there are testers in your area already, there will be people that get a dish in a new area that may have signed up after you, because again, this is the beta test and they are more interested in evaluating the service across all possible locations. That being said, according to the Starlink site, orders will be filled in the order that they are received, I always assumed that will actually take place once the system is out of beta testing and fully publicly available. So hopefully next month they really will come out of beta and then they may give some kind of queue order.
like he said, beta, they made some for the beta now they have revised the dish and it needs to be manufactured.
I ordered and was accepted in last February as well.
I have two neighbours that ordered after me and received the dish.
I haven't discovered a way to contact them.
I personally think it is way too expensive. Certainly for customers in the U.K. anyway.
I am buying new fibre for my new home and it costs me £5 delivery then £21 per month without any contract. For that I get average 63mbps and 32mbps upload.
So starlink would need to come down dramatically to be financially viable but I do get it for people at the equator or Africa, other poor countries or extremely remote populations all over. To me that’s all it’s good for as of now.
I mean even if I camp in the U.K., my phone gets like 60+ mbps data at minimum.
Oh Totally - if you have the option of getting fibre it'll almost always be a better option! Starlink isn't meant to replace £21 per month fibre, but it's an AMAZING option for all over the world where fibre is not available :)
For me it's about the amazing technology opening up everywhere in the world to high-speed internet :) Thanks for watching!
Its not for people like you that has access to high speed internet...
I need my Starlink internet service at home today 💯
Mike lets talk about these cells that are around 15 mile square. Can you tell me me how a satellite 550 KM in space only will cover a 15 square mile radius and if so how would a satellite know where to shoot that beam with the earth spinning. I think their is more involved then that. drop me a line and let me know your thoughts on this.
Hey Ron! My understanding is that each satellite actually covers many cells that in can "see" from orbit. They reason they divide it up into cells is so they can use different frequencies for different adjacent cells to avoid interference from different user terminals. It also gives them flexibility to limit "hotspots" of demand by ensuring that there aren't too many people in each cell. Thanks for watching and thanks for the great question!
I have been wanting for a minute and the video didn't load yet . I don't know if this comment will be send through. My internet is .. uhh
I even made this a very short video to help people in a hurry or with slow internet :) Hope it loads for you - and I hope you get your Starlink soon!
It hasn't loaded yet wow
:(
Yes, mobility is what all RV owners are waiting for.
Yeah, I can't wait for that! I do feel that even without full mobility, we'll probably see more capacity opened up in cells. Thanks for watching!
Im in rural TX near San Antonio and signed up first hour it was available but still no beta for me. I think im going to wait longer even if beta stops next month since a new designed terminal is coming out as well next few months. Should be better for mobile users. In motion users may still have to wait for that unit.
Yes, that's a good point. I'm really interested in a lower-power more portable option. I really excited to see what the next generation looks like!
Thanks for putting my tweet on your video
Hey! Thanks for asking the question! Super exciting! And thanks for watching!
When is the next launch for more satellites?
My fastest internet option provides between 1.5Mb/s to 7Mb/s. Signed up for Starlink a few months ago. Starlink is full in my area (Colorado). Site says expect late 2022, so I'm just hoping to get it sooner, rather than later.
I want to use Starlink as a backup to fiber service. But I dislike placing a deposit without any estimated delivery date. For the past year, delivery has said mid to late 2021. How about a delivery month such as October or December? The Tesla model S ordered early January still has not arrived!
Yeah, neither Tesla nor SpaceX are known for their accurate delivery estimates. I've heard from a few people who want to use Starlink as a backup. I think that's going to be a big market for anyone who wants a backup that's isolated from regional disruptions. Thanks for watching!
I've put in my pre order back in feb. Hopefully I'm on top of the list when it is available for us.
Me too ! Ready to have internet that works.
Launches are going again - wishing you good luck getting picked!
How big is the cell like in square miles or km .and what shape is it and what's the point of life?
They're roughly 15 miles across, but this may vary depending on where you are. Hang in there - you'll get coverage soon!
Oh goodie, I can't wait to order mines.
Hopefully rolling out soon!
Is it possible to get it in 3rd world countries
Each country is licensed separately, so it should be available at some point, but it's up to your government to approve it for use in your country. Thanks for watching!
What have you heard about the rectangular user station? Does it still move or will it be stationary? I think they need the laser units in space so they can be mobile. They can’t guarantee a down station will be available to mobile users until there are enough laser units to pass the download to a down link.
Yeah, you could be right. Hopefully the new satellites with laser links work out well! I don't know much about the new user terminals but I've been looking. I'll be sure to update as soon as we know more!
I just want one so bad. Im right on the 45th parallel.
You should be in range, and with them coming out of beta it should be available everywhere they have a license. They just gotta keep pumping out those dishes! Thanks for watching!
Do you think they have plans to make it available in all areas not just remote locations?
I think eventually all areas. Seems like they're prioritizing remote locations during the beta though. There will probably also be much less availability (due to higher demand) in more urban areas.
@@MikeOnSpace Probably businesses will take advantage first in cities. Is there a bandwidth problem in congested areas?
Will it go online all at the same time globally next month?
I don't know for sure - I think there probably won't be a huge change. The limiting factor is still the user dish manufacturing.
Can’t wait to get starlink
It's such an amazing technology! Are you using something pretty slow now? Thanks for watching!
Well we have ceuntrylink and it’s slow it would also be amazing if we could use it in our rv

Love that film :)
