My upload is hovering at about 20 megabits a second. So here we go, connected to the starlink and I'm getting about 27 Whoa.Ģ7 millisecond latency at about 120 megabits a second right now with the current connection. Launching more satellites, that beta downtime should be coming down in the later weeks and months to come.Īnd I'm gonna go ahead and run some speed test. I'm gonna go back up to the ping success right now during the last 39 minutes, my internet has been going up and down 4 minutes of those downtime was caused by obstructions and 8 minutes was caused by beta downtime.Īnd Starling does warn you that you're expected to see some downtime because this is still in beta and as they are improving and maturing. The SNR is the strength of your starlings connection to the satellites. In the app, you can see a live look of your network's health.Īnd here you can see the pink success was pretty much shows you if you're connected to the Internet or not the latency of that connection download and upload usage. It's gonna take about 15 to 30 minutes for the antenna dish to start looking for the starlink satellites overhead.ĭuring this time the app is gonna ask you to rename your wi fi and password so now they give it a fancy new name and a difficult password so i've given about 30 minutes for the antenna dish to start looking for satellites. Last up is pretty much plugging everything in.Įverything is color coded, so it's pretty easy. So we'll see if that's going to be any problems when we try to connect. In the starlink App, there is an AR experience that will help guide you where to align your dish.Īs you can see, this clear area is the path of the satellites.Īnd in my case, my dish is a little too low.Īlright, I use moving boxes to bring up the dish a little higher and above the fence line. On the quick start guide, in three easy steps, I should be connected to the internet.īut before I do any of that I need to download the app first. Now that you know what it does, let's take this outside and, go for a test drive. If you want an in depth look of Starling, make sure to check out Jesse's video, available on the description below. Starlink is in low orbit and that provides faster download speeds and low latency.Īnd at the time of this recording space X has launched about 1,200 of these out of 12,000. Since 2018, SpaceX has launched these tiny satellites to provide high speed internet to anyone in the world. Obstructions, you name it, but really for those in remote areas that have lack of ISP choices, so keep that in mind. really isn't meant for people like me who are out in suburb or city places, just cuz we're dealing with a lot of other external factors that may disrupt the service such as network congestion The $499 Starlink kit, comes with an antennae dish, WiFi router, power supply, cables, and a mounting tripod.Īnd for $99 a month You can expect to see data speeds anywhere between 50 to 150 megabits a second at low latency. I mean, if Papa Elon is asking you to join his pet project, of course, it's a yes.īut what the hell Starlink, pretty much is the internet from the sky.Īnd you might know it as, satellite internet. So a few weeks ago, SpaceX sent me a special email that a spot opened up for me to join the Starlink beta program. SpaceX sorry, FedEx just dropped the starlink in front of my house.īut let's take a look inside and see what it's like using Starling and how fast it really is.
