IS STARLINK WORTH IT?

- After a long battle of having AT&T, Xfinity, and another third-party internet service come to the property to see if we can get a decent internet connection. AT&T said no, Xfinity said no, so we went with a third party provider that lasted us 5 days of internet per month for around $100 every month. Finally, we were sick of the internet lagging and basically not being able to do anything internet related we dropped the third-party and ordered Starlink. It came today and took me maybe 25 minutes to set up.
In this video you will see me setting up Starlink in real time and boy was it fast. I am so pleased with how it is working so far I can't keep the grin off my face.
So the question is.... Is Starlink worth it?
100% yes.
If you're in an area that gets no service whatsoever, Starlink has your back!
We’ve had ours for a couple of months and love it!
Thank you! This was very helpful! We're moving to an area in Pennsylvania with no internet service.
Starlink has your back!
Yep it’s worth it. Had dsl with 20mbps. That dsl started dropping in mid use for about 5 minutes about 8 times at evenings. Had tech to come fix it. They didn’t fix it and just took 300 on a service call that was on their end. Luckily they refunded it. Starlink was installed yesterday. Had to put it on a 25 ft pole to clear obstructions. This morning in light rain I was getting 350 Mbps speed. But of course it doesn’t stay there it might drop to 80 at night but it works and it’s better than the dsl we had. Btw on Fortnite I was seeing 15 to 30 ping.
What ping where you getting with your dsl?
@@NamNamDeconing on dsl i saw about the same. But on starlink i dont have random internet drops like i do with dsl. i do currently still have the dsl for a back up because in a heavy rain/thunderstorm starlink doesnt quite hold up
@@NamNamDeconingProbably between 80 and 200 ping LOL
@@NamNamDeconingi have 10mbps and can’t play no online games on my xbox. only mobile games and even on the mobile games the least i’m getting is 50-80ms if nobody is on it. 4 phones 3 ipads 1 tv if everyone is on there’s no way i won’t lag. but that’s 10mbps. will be switching to starlink next month.
I get 500mbps on spectrum starlink isn’t even an option in my area.
Works perfectly also in rural Slovakia.
Yep it’s worth it
Please people don’t worry how long it takes . You sound impatient.
But it’s worth it .
Gen two is best though
200 for down
80 for up
I put mine on a 30 foot pole
With my tv and phone booster . 😊
Where did you order them?
Congratulations welcome back to the Internet 👍
just ordered it, had T-Mobile home internet, which was fine at first, but now slows down SO MUCH on weekends you can't watch TV. Looking forward to my Starlink experience.
Our church is in a very rural area with no cell service, and the Hughes Net satellite service currently doesn't work well for the locals in the community. I was informed by our bank manager that she purchased and installed Starlink herself and loves it. So I'm looking to purchase it for the church.
Do it! Everyone at church will be able to connect to WiFi
Also I am in SC lowcountry, and am SO pissed at Hargray and their garbage service and high prices.
Massive hours long outages twice in the last 4 days alone.
Constant short outages in clear weather for a year now, has never gone down in an actual storm lol.
I will be ordering Starlink as a backup ISP as where I live I cannot permanently mount Starlink antenna anywhere, and it costs too much per month vs hardline cable service.
SpaceX recently said that they will provide free Starlink service for the rest of the year to people in areas impacted by the recent hurricanes. You can look on their site for the details, but it has a map sowing all the counties eligible for the free service. The entire state of SC is on the map. You still have to buy the hardware which is about $300 though!
here to check in, hows the starlink now ? :D
I had the same problem with ATT they are horrible, I just bought a star link last night I couldn't take it anymore. Thanks for the video! Cant wait for Elon to come out with cell phone service.
He’s not going to…
@@lonewolftech aww really I just saw in June 2024 he was going to start phone service that would also control the tesla. Let’s wait and see !
I installed mine yesterday and went from 3mb to 160 to almost 300mb and im happy
Outstanding video. Thanks. Live in west Las Vegas where cox seems to be king but drops in service is making me look for other options and this video helped me decide.
Thanks for your video. Hurricane Helene brought me here. Spectrum not telling us when they will restore our internet. Not good customer service. Might pull the trigger on the starlink hardware for $299. And cancel my service with spectrum.
Do it! Had internet throughout the whole storm no hiccups
Might as well take advantage of the 30day free internet service.
I dont know if you will see this but SpaceX stated that Starlink service will be free for the rest of the year for those in the path of Helene. You can look at their site for the details!
@@cadizwilmo9687 SpaceX just said that it's actually for the rest of the year! You have to buy the hardware of course though
It’s a decent product, but the customer service is insanely awful. There is literally no number that you can call to speak to anyone. If you have a problem you message them and a lot of the time they ignore you or disregard what you are telling them
Elon standard service..
Looks like the kitty was checking out your Starlink.
coming in the mail tomorrow !!
Dish outside, yes, no problems, router hell no safer inside.
Did you order it off of Amazon?
Nicely done.
I'm paying for Internet service at home and also paying for internet service on another system for my RV. Can I buy Starlink mobile for my RV and also use it for my home. Is there alike a package for for on the road and home ?
Yes. You can also switch easily from roaming to residential.
I know this is a weird request, but if you have an old starlink dish you dont use can i please have it. They just introduced it here in Africa but its soo expensive for us. its like 3 months salary
Is this the standard or the priority internet?
Put it on the rooftop
I did I’ll make an update video to show what I did
@@Tommy_Wilson_ ok
@@Tommy_Wilson_Hurry
Enjoy!
So I placed my order this morning but I didn’t get an option of which gen I wanted. Does it usually just come in gen 3 or what? I tried support but no refined in over 8 hrs
Who did you order it from ?
If I have my Gen3 setup for Residential in my home. Will it work if I take the dish and router and put it in my RV and camp in a different location than where I live? Does the app give you the ability to change locations temporarily. I dont want ROAM because I will use Starlink as my main internet at home. But I would like to take it with me the few times a year I go camping in my RV.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work it’s all “satellite” related so you really would just need to make sure that it’s pointing in the right direction without a bunch of obstruction
since there is no contract.. you could change to roam when you are about to go on a trip... then change back to residential when you are back.. so you will only billed for one month for roam when you are on the road...
You can change your plan to RV and then back to residental- I have done it several times. Send them an email/ open a ticket and they usually respond right away.
stay residential but when you get to new location change to a local address at new location. residential has priority over roaming customers. 120 a month usd
how much per month for a plan
Best money I ever spent for Rv travel
The dish (It's actually an antenna) and its wire are weatherproof and stay outside 24/7/365.
The Router should be inside out of the elements if you want it to survive.
lol did you pay the “Hughesnet “ 400 fee?? Worst decision ever, buying starlink today
yeah i was pissed but ready to move on so said whatever take it see ya never
@@Tommy_Wilson_ I’m on the same boat bro, I just activated hughesnet on sept 6 and now I’m purchasing starlink today.. 200 to start, paid 100 for the first month .. starlink is costing me 400 ..all within 40 days but I work from home so I need internet and Hughes is just bad
I just got my setup is awesome..2024
my speed was fast the first few days. now its like 12 mb download. i think i maxed out plan
When you uploaded this video was a super fast ?
@@joshstream no, uploads not great took about 12 hrs for 4k
@@Tommy_Wilson_ Ok. Thanks for the replay. I just uploaded my first video in four months. I tried for days to upload so I changed my setting to SD and was a bit faster. I think I saved a few hours doing that. I don't have the Star link but maybe in the future. I remember a time when lived in a small town and we had no internet similar to you situation. But when we did finally get it we found it to be so slow. When I got the chance to move I took it because I needed to be closer to my Job. But being out away in the country can be nice.
Wifi calling baby!
Does that router have Ethernet at all?
Mine came without an ethernet port so I bought the adaptor for ethernet and ran that to my router and it works like a charm. I have had it for near 12 months now and I think I have seen one outage that lasted I think maybe an hour other than that it's been flawless. I use to get at bets 7mbs and now with starlink it's more like 80 to 120mbs. Stream 4K videos without a single hiccup.
I’m looking to get one do u no if they work good in the us
Starlink Gen3 comes with two ports for ethernet connection.
Put Vaseline or some kind of lubricant on the cables so they don’t get chewed and destroyed by possums rats, cats dogs, raccoons whatever else she might have lurking about
Put honey on the cables instead works just the same. 😜
Can I buy the dish and take it overseas then register it
Probably I’m not entirely sure but there’s travel dishes so yes sign up for online payment should be good to go
4 days of internet with Hughesnet aint a lie lol
We’ve got peacocks too 😂❤
Bro is geeekn! 😂
Did i just here a peacock?
Yes 7 of them
Very informative video upload download speed frequency band
Poor guy looks so lost, confused and like he’s fighting a bad hangover.
sober 1 year actually thank you for the kind words
Good for you@@Tommy_Wilson_ keep on going sir. 👍🏽
Its crazy to me that its so expensive to pretty much be at the bottom of the bucket for performance. Its literally just only better than other satellites and lte. Even 4g would probably better if setup correctly. Once 5g is everywhere in the USA, what would be the point of owning a starlink device with those latency jitter issues. The only reason I complain is because its way overpriced for the speed. If you can get 5g, please set it up properly with an antenna and call it good.
yeah i dont know how to just get 5g and set up an antenna for wifi my cell phone has 0 service where i am. This was the best option for me as multiple big named companies denied me because i was so remote and all their sattelites were full
There's deals and when one starts, jump on one. Ours was $199.99 cdn plus $40 cdn Purolator shipped. We use it for camping.
@@Tommy_Wilson_ Yeah being remote is an issue that needs to be fixed. There have been companies saying for years they were planning on bringing fiber optic out to remote addresses. Mostly not delivering on what they said so far.
My main issue is how expensive starlink is.. $120usd or more is worth gig speeds which is there plan its just so far away. 5g towers will be everywhere soon. So that'll probably be the next best option for a while. When it does arrive.
Wrong. Starlink is a godsend for rural folks who have no better options. I suffered through dial up and Viasat for nearly 20 years before Starlink became available and it was a game changer.
@@gstar7686 Not wrong. Everything I said is still correct. Even though its your best option it shouldn't be by now. Its unfortunately so expensive to be at the bottom tier list. When 5g is available all over rural US. I'd easily switch to it. I get its all you have but that's the unfortunate problem.
Shit is fasttttttt
His mom is dead inside
You ok?
