Jay what I will suggest is that you purchase a dedicated UPS intended only for the Starlink modem. So that in a span of millisecond the power will not be disconnected and restarting the modem will not happen. Also it will protect the circuit from sudden surge of voltage.
You could put Vulcaseal or other water sealant to those mounting bolts to protect them from salty weather and probably slow down the rusting/ oxidation process. Nice setup there! I love combining technology with nature so one of my ultimate dream is to live in self-sufficient off-grid home in a vast wilderness, along the river, or in an island like that by the seashore.
we use rope amd its all good until it rains.
he needs to steel brush those rust first before applying
Watching this, while being in Siargao (in General Luna) via Starlink of the Airbnb. Thank you for the impressions and all the videos, we came found Siargao because of the surf and found your channel on the way.
It really is an amazing island, we really don't want to leave
I used Stainless steel bolts, washers, and nuts and it solves the rust issue. I also have zero issues with rain and stormy/cloudy days as it maintained full speed
Waited a bit after watching your Starlink purchase then bought one. Expensive but worth it. Less hassle from grumbled sounds when making phonecalls. We covered the bolts with sealant to protect from rusting. Took only 5 days to arrive by DHL to Batangas from USA. Happy with Starlink - thank you Ellon Musk for entering the Philippines.
How much is the average MBPS?
Where in batangas are you bro? I'm from lipa and thinking of going for Starlink
How much is the monthly subscription?
@@romella_karmey230mbps average
@@jamesangelopatac8215there different categories of billing.
the lowest price is at 2,700php per month.
Something to add, we purchased starlink but didn't have a place to set it up (sitting in Cebu City) so we canceled our service. we were able to get it re-established within an hour once we found a house outside of the city, so if people are coming over here for a few months at a time they could buy the system and cancel it when they leave then just get it going again once they are back.
Dude, have you ever tried it in the city? Im from central cebu, so I was wondering if it works well in the city.
When we scanned with the app it basically laughed at us saying no way. If you have roof access and no tall buildings or trees around then it should work great. but if you are in a condo or don't have a full sky view its not possible.@@justleanonme77
You're living my dream dude. I wish to have a family too and live off grid with solar power and just be away from city and have quiet and peaceful life. Wish you and your family the best.
Im hearing a lot of people really transitioning to starlink. It’s just super expensive but I guess worth it 🙂
In the province or islands it’s definitely worth it. For us it works out cheaper.
Even if you share one dish kit and monthly cost with a next door neighbor you will get fast speeds with Unli data.

What about when theres a typhoon or heavy rain?
@@benjaminlim3921 hopefully that question will not be answered.
To expensive
Does poppy have an Onlydogs account? I want to subscribe 😂
She has one , RUclips.com/@PoppyLoveAspinDog
HAHAHA aso ka bhie
She has an Alias onliiiinnnnneeee
Poppy listens carefully he is so cute. Thank you for this video .
Watching your videos again about starlink made me search on their website... only to get reminded that I don't have money lmao
Should've oiled the bolts and put large clumps of silicone gel on each bolt. 😉
We'll really miss the Phillipines when you travel elsewhere. I hope your daughter will enjoy your travels as much as you do.
With the discount/promotion they did. Their website has been having problems perhaps with the volume of people getting it. It was good you purchased it earlier.
Poppy behaved really well for that shoot haha, so cute.
😊😊
I have that problem in my home losing signals when I go to my bedroom. I bought a google mesh, and I have a signal everywhere in my house. I used to use an extender but it doesn't seem to work here in my house in Maryland
you should change your bolts to a stainless ones to avoid corrosion and paint them with island primer red lead. The metal will last for a very long time, proven and tested. But before painting the dish stand clean it properly with a sandpaper or rust remover
Proven and what now?
😂
@@JeyC_ do you know whats typo error?
We have starlink and have had it for a couple of years now. Well worth it for rural living!
one of my relatives is a harbormaster for a dock in Florida. Tells me almost ALL yachts and boats have Starlink. There's a running joke that even Elon Musk's enemy, Jeff Bezos has Starlink on his yacht.
Thank you so much!
I appreciate your honest review in Starlink.
God bless your family 🙏❤️
if you have electronic gadgets, a UPS (for pc, cp, tablet, routers) or an AVR (fridge, TV, stereos, etc) is a must for areas where power regularly fluctuates.
Puppy needs his own segment now!
New subscriber here - just found your channel on a Starlink search. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
In a house your size I would install ethernet and additional WiFi antennas.
How were you able to get a subscription setup? We're on our 2nd day of trying to get a subscription and it's getting an error every single time.
So sad hearing you spend bigger before the discount, but I am glad it's getting cheaper for everyone desperate for internet especially in the far flung islands. Starlink is better with VPN and solar power, and it is essential especially for typhoon-related news. The downside is that you need a debit card in order to pay monthly charges. Story will never be sorry reading new children's books digitally.
Cheers Poppy 🐾 🎵
How much you pay monthly?
old school satellite would be geostationary , this would mean the distance from your house and the satellite it connects to is extremely far away, and starlink is low earth orbit thus able to lower latency, and the new starlink v2 satellite has "space lasers" allowing satellites to connect to each other via lasers also increasing its capability
Thanks for review. If you had the ability to do again, you could have returned your first equipment during the initial 30 day free trial period and then repurchased at the new 10,000 peso lower price.
have you tried checking the speed with VPN enabled?
What if I move it around 500 meters from my original home? Will it still work? Or is it mobile
Hows your valorant ping?
Where did you purchase your starlink hardware? Can you send a link? I'm looking for the 19k php but can't find it. Thank you 😊
out of topic, How much is the rent in your house? I really want to have a view like that too.
Its a shame that star link dont provide at least one ethernet port on the router, that would open the system for a wired network via a switch, also if you have an upper level to your property the router would benefit from the height unless you have concrete floors.
Get a Wifi 6 router. It can break through thick concrete walls much better.
Since you're pretty much off the grid, I don't see any downsides in investing in a Tesla powerwall as well. The UPS can only keep a couple of devices running for a short amount of time, since it's made for PCs so you don't lose or corrupt your data...
Tesla is pretty much selling products that can help people live more comfortably in a remote areas. Solar roofs, power wall, electric cars, then there's Starlink, which is also owned by Elon... Pretty much takes out electricity and internet out of the equation. Now you just need to think about food and water.
When those satellites get old it’s going to be raining metal on earth.
i saw your video when you first got starlink and set it up, i ordered one right after i watched !
so happy with it, I'm on biliran island and internet has sucked every way i tried for 8 years.
After the starlink arrived i had it up and running in 3 minutes on my terrace and have loved it ever since.
today me and my wife put it up on the roof finally, we wanted to get the roof all spot primed and repainted before we put the dishy up there, it took us 5 minutes to screw it down with some silicone caulk on the screws and away we go !
running the obstruction deal in the app now, it takes 6 hours or so, i expect no obstructions now, we had a little bit sitting on the terrace.
First world probl...WAIT! Third world problems! :D
looks like cable near Dish is in tension -- need a loop near it tied to base
I’ll look into it
i think using it as it is as commercial use is not a good idea, they are very strict about TORRENT and possibly ban you account.
I’m moving out there in April from the US - would it cost more to order here and take it with me or better to order when I’m there?
I would wait until you are here and order your equipment. It doesn't take long to arrive. Do you have a property here already in the Philippines ?
not yet - going to rent a few months then buy/build. thanks for the tip, makes sense!@@puckster61554
Mine got delayed with delivery its suppose to be there when i was there so its stuck at home in box 😂
boss can you tell me how slow the internet during cloudy days or rainy days?
Planning to move there as well. Is your child homeschooled?
ISPs save on bandwidth by lowering the upload speed thus they can offer higher download speeds. Most people are only concerned with download speed unless they’re vlogers or gamers.
Just use a UPS for tha power problem....to avoid the interruptions....
Can you do speed test during heavy rain🥺
Where I can buy starlink kit in the Philippines? Thanks.
Just to correct you opinion, latency in satellite is not about the amount of satellite, its the distace between satellite and the earth! The farther the satellite, the higher the latency. Since Starlink is in low orbit, the distance is shorter, latency is lower.
we need to join play lotto so that we can build a 100 feet wifi tower
Sometimes they have promo and starlink would go to around P8K,
Being on island you should have used stainless steel bolts and nuts because of the saltwater it rust steel in no time
Wow ! hi tech and low maintenance U got ur money's worth. Thank you for free tutorial😊
blessings to you and your family 👍👍👍
where did you by the UPS please, I just bought a starlink here in California and planning to bring it to Bicol on April 10. Is there gonna be a problem like power voltage and subscription plan if I bring it home in the Philippines?
Where can we find the 19k starlink? It's 28k on the website
Mom instinct here, that candle and dried flowers next to it gets me worried. Im not even a mom lol
How much is monthly cost?
Good for a faster internet connectivity especially in remote area. I am now thinking about our local digital companies such as globe and smart. How could they compete with starlink?
I am one of those folks that did not take advantage of the introductory price when they officially came into the philippine market a few months ago. 😂 but despite missing that window, local isp providers are just so terrible that i’ve applied for a unit and subscription the other day and i am awaiting delivery for my unit. Tara na guys kay papa Elon na tayo!😊
UPDATE! 3rd week since unit arrived and installation. Once you go starlink it would suck bells if you have to revert back to globe or pldt. You just have to take in consideration a few mins of down time every once in a while when you have to do system updates other than that super sulit!
Another youtuber mentioned that it has a recurring charge/fee... So im kind of confused? So aside from the activation and the device charges, do you still have a monthly recurring fee every month??
My understanding is that the usage of Starlink is currently still very low. So you are getting very good bandwidth. Once more users join, your speed will continue to decline. That is why they plan on putting such a huge number of satellites in place, to fill the demand if needed. But that plan is likely going to get shot down by the FAA. But seems pretty good as it is though, especially if you need the internet for work. By the way, make sure you get working permits in the Philippines, or you could end up in Bicutan prison.
You stooooopid 😅
Ah ganun
Not giving Elon any money. Its an overpriced crap if you ask me. The best cheap internet is done by your local munical. Here in the states, the fastest and cheapest internet is from a small city in Chattanooga, TN. Lots of tech industries are moving there coz of the high speed internet.
Is it true that if you opt for the Residential plan, you can still use it in different locations as long as it's stationary and within the country? Also can you cancel your subscription, effectively pausing it and reactivate it anytime?
You guys live near the see, you should have used 316 stainless steel bolts and washers.
Hello sir,gudam..sir,may I ask the link of the starlink? Planning to purchase
May i ask which city has the most accessible free beaches? Was thinking of going to cebu because was told theu had alot of beaches but 4 hours away?! Lol i hope to hear your inputs.
nice review. I am planing to buy for gamming
Get an UPS, uninterruptible power supply, a generator and generator box so it stays quiet for neighbors.
hello, how much is your monthly subscription? thank you!
Oh! I thought it's a free internet after installation. So it means you're still paying for the data monthly
Hi, Thank you for the review. I want to buy it for Laguna near Manila. You said in your video they reduced the price. Would you be able to sent me the link where to buy it for the lower price? My quote is still 28K. Many greetings to paradise!
Hi, Is there a special promotion or a link to the promotion price mentioned in the video? Thanks
I think the promotion already ended.
OK 7 month later how you liking starlink?
Awesome setup home satellite internet and great for remote work. Elon did it again. What is your running water(drinking also) setup ? probably did vlog about it already.
So expensive ,,cannot afford😁
Even if I can afford it I wouldn’t give him my money. He’s a crazy narcissist human being! He’s a billionaire and treats his employees like crap!
Solar powered house + Starlink Internet is too much if you live in siargao
where can I find the 19k price??? please tell me coz globe and pldt really sucks.
You mentioned that it can be purchased with a discount? Where and how? And is it legit? I appreciate your reply.
If you put Solar in without a power pack you didn't use that brain God gave you.
Have you tried DITO wifi?
Whats your ping/latency to servers in the USA or Europe?
where would we buy starlink for low discounted price of 19thousand? can i see there low price in there website?
hello sir: im interested for that starlink can you give the link or website so i can order to, im from subic region 3. thank you
Fiber networks are more reliable and much faster than Starlink's satellite network.
how much you pay for rent ? just curious
The monthly subscription, does it come with a contract? Can we turn it on/off anytime?
What Solar are you using, Really have to have both,
do you use Google Drive?
how long does it take to upload 10gb of a single video file?
Right now, Startlink price in the Philippines is 28,000 Php. I wish I bought Starlink during the discounted period (August).
How much per month? Aside from hardware.
If you're within 30 days of a sale, they will credit you the difference.
Thank you for this review and an update with its price… im sure it will go cheaper once i get back home someday and live off the grid… starlink and the solar panels is a must 🤗
buy the ethernet adopter so you can extend the wifi connection using another router
Is your daughter studying in Philippine school?
thank you for that honest review sir, God blessed you
dose that UPS have AVR?
southern remote cebu over year. have gen for brown out. we reset router every other day but speed is average 130 to 200. MANY cel and 2 to 3 tvs, one is firestick with a speed up app that really boosts speed. all run 4k uhd, 3 to 4kplus res on smart tvs. ALSO REMOVE DISH IF HUGE TYPHOON ONLY.
Pls need more details how to order starlink, how much is it and how much monthly subscription. And does it affect the internet connection/signal during rainy season/raining day?
Thank for your honest Insights :-)
