SpaceX Starlink: Setup Experience & Speed Test In Rural Southeast Queensland Australia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- We documented the process of installing and setting up a Starlink roaming service in Qld Australia. It's very easy to do, but quite costly. The current price for the roaming plan (which can be paused at any time) is $174 AUD per month. I found the download speeds for streaming high definition video etc to be really good, however the upload speed is a little disappointing. Check out Starlink here: www.starlink.com/au/roam

Awesome Josh, G'day Josh's Mum, thanks for the update mate, good to see your all set for Australia wide adventures 👍
Cheers Juddy, glad I'll still be able to provide you with my particular brand of bullshit from the road 😁🍻
That download speed is better than my home internet. It used to be better but they piss fart around constantly with this stuff and it gets worse and costs more. 2024 baby! I'm glad Starlink will do the job Josh.
Cheers bruz, I've since figured out how to upload my edited vids to YT using my phone thru the Starlink instead of the PC (there's a lil trick to it) so yeah that helps with energy consumption 💪
Hell yea mate, Starlink has changed the way I work and play, or both at same time rather lol. The ability to pause is awesome. Expensive here in states but well worth it not only for play but for safety and such. Cheers!
Cheers man did you happen to do any real testing on power consumption of it on AC vs DC?
@@MVDBR nah but I am going to get a killowatt meter tomorrow during prime day so I can do some testing. From my research its kinda confusing. They say you get about 25% more out of a DC connection which I can see as the conversion from AC to DC is super inefficient. Ill do a video one it once I get the killowatt meter tho...
@@HillPhantom awesome man keen to see the results. I have seen one vid where a dude reckoned it was pretty much the same 🤷♂ but I don't see how that could be, unless the 12-48v converter was inefficient. Cheers mate
yeehaw! Josh is now gone mobile high tech! sweet set up!
Comin' at ya from spaccccceeee 🍻
Awesome bit of kit, looking forward to tales from the road and the new segment, Ask Josh's mum. Cheers🍺
😅🤦♂ episode 1 how to navigate wet grassy slopes after 5 chardies 😬
Nice! I have been using the V2 Dishy on “home” service for the last year and a half here in interior Alaska. One tip to help your cable last longer, make sure the “heat dish” is turned off when it snows (if you ever get any), as that draws to much power for the v2 cable and burns it out. You likely won’t need that where you are, but I thought I would mention it for any of your viewers that might.
Thanks for the tip mate! Yeah I did turn that off when I was browsing thru the settings... if it ever gets that cold where I am my fingers will be too frozen to use any connected devices anyway hahaha. Cheers 🍻
That's a great setup! We had to wait a year and a half to get ours when it came out but it is 100 times better than what we had before. We've hit 320/58 speeds but like you said it's not consistent. Pricey but worth it if you live in rural areas with no other options. 1 step closer to bring ready on the road 🍻
320/58! Yeahhhh boi. I'm not sure why my speed tests consistently run 18-20 upload but the reality of uploading to the 'tube seems to sit more at 8-10 😥
Thanks, Josh...been considering it myself and am not that tech savvy, but it seems easy enough for even me to understand...happy travels to you ans Mom 👍😊
Cheers Tracey, yeah very simple just takes maybe 10-15 mins for it to realise you have a paid account and once that's sorted you're good to go 🍻
Be watching buddy
🙏
great work love that simple
Cheers yeah very easy 🤙
We live in amazing times. Being able to have internet on the move in an RV. Add a PS5 or Xbox and a guy is set! 👍
... and a biiiigggg screen tv 😁 Cheers mate
@@MVDBR Hell yes! 😁
Cheers Josh! 🍻
Good set up 🎉!
Cheers Pete 🍻🍻
you should pause the service while you're on the East Coast and hotspot with your phone, then activate it once you head out into the far outback
Yeah good in theory mate but I don't know of any phone plans with enough data for what I need (not on the full Telstra network anyway) plus the speeds are pretty ordinary out of the cities. Definitely a good way to save a few bucks tho if you can make that work. Maybe one day we'll get decent unlimited mobile data in this fkn country 🤞
Hey josh nice one mate good to see your OK mate 👋🤠👍, we've never seen mum before, nice one mate, upload overnight mate when the net is not used much
Yeah but then the sun isn't shining to keep the computer going haha. I don't think it makes much difference anyway it seems like the upload speed is capped or throttled or something. And yeah I am gonna introduce yas to mum properly, when I can pin her down for more than 5 mins. She's fkn go go go 😅
Quite pricy, but you'll get cover anywhere... great stuff. Shame the upload is a bit temperemental, but it is useable still.... although maybe no Call of Duty multiplayer death matches 😀
There's never anyone on the MW3 servers these days anyway haha that's the only COD I (used to) play 😎
@@MVDBR 😁
Bloody cool thing for remote travel ,just offset PC power consumption with more solar input in daylight hours ,my aircon pulls 1180w 46amps on 26v lithium 280ah my solar in put 1.4kw runs from 11am to 3pm without any draw on battery in summer
I think I've made room for one more panel but yeah those roof mounted panels don't do too well in winter 🥴
@@MVDBR yeah winter sucks my solar is making stuff all ATM need to cut down trees sun is so low ,,,you could get 2x300w itech blankets fold them out when needed lol not cheap but think they only put out 180w each but can fold them up ,if your going stay in one spot you need plenty of solar or your starting genset up to charge
Haha my off peak won't even work for reception 😂 aussie internet is so crap.
It's woeful mate and they keep using the excuse of a big country with a sparse population, BS it's fkn 2024 ya wankers get on with it. The technology has been there for years
4k is pretty useless, the vast majority don't have a 4k monitor, 1440p is more common, 1080p 60%
Yeah I don't have any 4k devices, but uploading to YT in 4K has it's benefits 🤙
Great job Josh and mum (awesome wine glass she has🍷) those speeds are pretty good mate, we are on wireless NBN to a local tower, just did a speed test, 25.6 download 3.6 upload, crappy, no wonder it takes me so long to upload a RUclips video, cheers 🍻🍻
Yikes yeah that's not real flash Mike, still better than the old dial-up days though aye 😅🍻 Uploading to YT this hovers around 8-10 most of the time so I shouldn't really complain 🤷♂ was expecting a little more for the money though.
