Two reasons to watch your videos:
1. Amazing content.
2. Amazingly calming voice, great for chill evenings.
His Voice is one of the reasons I watch his content lol.
came for the voice, stayed for the content :)
Also, If you listen with headphones, the background music is fantastic.
Intriguing, evokes curiosity, hopefull, etc.
the voice😄
They have to launch 40,000 satellites every five years because the satellites only have a five year life. Sounds sustainable to me. This is a scam don’t believe it! Check out other vids on musk enterprises not so HOLY.
Imagine being on a deserted island with your solar phone charger and Starlink subscription browsing memes waiting to get rescued.
I prefer to imagine that scenario as. In a log cabin back in the wood, 100 miles from the closest town. With my solar roof. and a star link connection. And electric furnace, and reverse osmosis filter system for water. Well all electric appliances, stove, refrigerator, heat, light, my desktop. I would imagine a trip to town annually would be in order for a while. Until I broke my addiction to "worldly stuff".
Did you just... Copy paste this?...
Tony Stark- We need a suit of armor around the world
Elon Musk- We need a cluster of satellites around the world
Mind, these dishes use quite a bit of power. If you’ve got an adequate off grid set up you’d be fine.
I live on an island... Puerto Rico, trust me.. its not what its all cracked up to be.. If you really want that Fantasy experience.. go live in Sarasota Florida, Siesta Key Beach. All the creature comforts of home, with all the tropical goodness and powder white sand beaches. Not to mention Tourist state. which means everything is always well kept. Fresh foods, plenty of venues and eateries of all $ levels. And plenty of those gem hot spots known to locals, well off the more tourist trap trails. Florida isn't perfect, but far too many people don't realize just how good of a place it is, until they no longer live there. then its.. wholly crap this is what ive opted to come back too!!
Watching this on Starlink in a Canadian forest at 1080p :) Much better than how I used to watch youtube at 480p with occasional buffering.
I live off grid out in the mountains, an hour from town, gas well, spring wells, fully off grid minus power, but I'm currently buying solar panels for my crypto rigs, and cabin :) This is the last step I've been needing. Can't wait.
Are you mining BTC?
how's the crypto market these days ?

Having internet practically anywhere on the earth is going to be huge, for example the only reason I'm personally living in the city is because of the internet. But if I could buy a cheaper, bigger house outside of the city and still have good internet I wouldn't think it twice.
Yah imagine the impact having access to education would make in schools and jobs
What’s even crazier to think about is 3rd world countries will finally have access to internet like everyone else, allowing them to develop at insane speeds

Thanks to Dagogo once again for doing an episode on Starlink. One of the best channels on CZcams to learn things.
True that...
so true, just out of curiosity - are there any other channels at least close (in terms of content quality) to CF?
@@groszkowykefir1 I personally follow a lot of channels like this. Wendover productions, Cheddar, Business Casual, Verge Science and others. I think you will like them; they similar to CF
I’m old enough to remember when satellite communication was so new that tv shows using satellites had “live via satellite” in the corner of the screen.
Yeah.. we used to watch FIFA World Cup & Olympics. Ahh.. got nostalgic.

Finding this channel is one of the only times the algorithm actually nailed it. And it's worth getting trash recommends for your channel alone. I can't wait for the next vid man. Amazing work!!!
@COLD FUSION lol
currently a starlink user, and i can confirm it is truly amazing compared to the previous satellite internet i was using
Same it's amazing what starlink can give you compared to previous satellite internet
This channel is simply perfect. Well researched, well presented, well narrated. And the backgroung music is the best I've heard in any video in youtube.
12:30 I think you meant 17mbps.. difference between "MB/S" vs 'mbps' is that 1 Megabyte == 8 megabits
nods, it's case sensitive - (B)ytes/sec vs. (b)its/sec
It looks wrong yes, but he’s using caps for everything. So would probably look weird to use a small “b”.
@@millsathn
the alternative is spelling it out. "mbits" is not that long. the way he's doing it *is* wrong.
The units are all completely messed up. The video has MB where it should be Mb, and he also says his internet is 17 mbps, which I find impossible to believe. It's all mixed up. Surprising on this channel, but mistakes happen.
It's short for mbps ya know MB then / then S, the slash means A or Per, lots of people use that abbreviated version of typing it.
I absolutely love that you keep your channel expectations high and you're no releasing videos everyday or smething to get more revenue, keep up the good work and thanks for a lot of information I wouldn't have otherwise. Definetely supporting you :)
It's so hard to make an engaging video that is as detailed and long as these. I envy you Dagago(in a good way). Keep making these amazing videos!!!
4:14 nailed it
If anything the internet taught me, its healthier to be off it than on it.
But no one said there is no demand to archived information.
The internet (mostly social media) has dramatically amplified the "outrage culture" and this feeling of victimhood people place themselves in. I've learned to mostly ignore it all, and just focus on stuff to educate myself. I recently moved from a populated suburb to a very quiet sparsely populated area and i love it. I can only get internet through a 3g antenna.
People would be healthier mentally if they had to work for their life, like cut wood for heat, mow the yard and cut back brush, grow a garden, raise chickens for food... Rather than sit around waiting for "who tweeted a mean thing" or "who's going against the outrage mob and needs to be piled on". When life is too easy, people create their own problems and social media is really helping that. For the huge benefits of self education that the internet has provided, it has sure given a lot of social issues.
It depends on how u use it. U could literally get an equivalent of university education and even more on the internet for free but u could also destroy your life through social media and game addictions.
Says the person watching videos on the Internet. Any tool can be abused don't blame the tool.

Hey nice vid. Love from Brazil!, 🇧🇷
Wow.. Never new ColdFusion loved in the same city as me. Dude love your videos. Big fan. Much love.
I always love your post! GJ to the entire team.
another amazing banger :)
As always bloody brilliant! I live 40km from Parliament house, I get peak time data rates below 1mbs on 4g. Our landlines were removed under NBN. Satellite is better but twice the price and with latency of over 850ms. Not compatible with VPN, so cant work from home. Cant wait for Starlink! Ill be buying shares for sure!
The most impressive thing is that each satellite talks to each other via lasers!
I love watching your videos. Good job once again
Another top-notch video, mate. But please do keep an eye on the eightfold difference between Mb and MB; it's very easy to give misleading figures otherwise. Thanks 👍
I m watching this over Starlink form Germany. Working perfect for me
How much is it?
@@shawnsimon6574 99€ per month and 549 for hardware and shipping. Not the cheapest, but better than what a could get other ways
@@hansdieter36 Not bad at all actually
Thank you for sharing this important technology news . Keep it up .👍👍👍👍

Stellar production quality as usual 👌✨👏
Watching this via Starlink right now, great video!
Lowkey sounds like he's always sayin' "Stalin".
Looks like he never left, huh
Great vid as always! Clarification on 12:28 -- Mbps and MB/s are different. LTT's 138Mbps using Starlink is equal to 17MB/s, which makes your download speed in Perth about the same.
Didn't he say it was megabits not megabytes?
These are always so good and informative.
ColdFusion, I'm trying to study for my finals why do you distract me like this!
Bro my internet provider gives me 3mbps on paper but actually gives me around 1mbps or 500kbps. This is a godsend
I live in a city of 50k between Boston and Providence. My options are/were Comcast or Verizon DSL. Comcast charges about $80 to share a node (I live in an apt building) and 1.5-2.0 Mbps DSL/landline is $120 (I'm near the end of the line). Verizon stated in a letter to our mayor that they have NO intention of offering us fiber. You can understand my Excitement when this beta came out. My Dish is due to arrive Monday!!! Even if they "only" give me 15-30mbps I will be ecstatic.
@@thicks2450 ayyyy good for you brother! Keep me updated and tell me if it’s very good or not. If it’s good I’ll look into getting one as well
While in the meantime, thanks to government incentives for ultra broadband, I got a full service triple-play 1Gbps FTTH fiber for 30 euros here in France since 2012.
80% of the population wil have at least a 1Gbps FTTH independent line for less than 35€ by 2024. All new lines since 2016 must be 10 Gbps capable and node sharing is prohibited. When there is will and incentives providers deliver a good and cheap product. FTTB has been abandoned to focus exclusively on FTTH, EPON and subsequent technologies.
That's also thanks to a great company (Free / Iliad) and its brilliant CEO Xavier Niel who drove the prices down and the quality up. One of its legendary products, the Freebox set-top triple play box recently launched its new 10G version, the Freebox Delta with SFP+ and Ethernet connections.
Here you have a real fight between providers to offer 1 to 10 Gbps fiber from as low as 10 euros a month. Most offers being between 20 and 45 € per month. The French government conditioned access to incentives and cell frequencies licensing to extremely high quality and coverage objectives. That resulted in very cheap but very fast internet with loads of services.
You realize difference between megabit and megabyte right? 3mbps = 375 KB/s
@@thementalcritic I’m talking about megabit per second and kilobit per second. Sorry if I used the wrong acronym. 1 Megabit is 1000 kilobit. So I’m saying I get 3 megabit (3000 kilobit) or 500 kilobit (.5 megabit)
Aren't we just lucky good documentaries like these are free? Thanks CFTV!

I got into astrophotography recently and starlink is getting close to killing it entirely.
A small price to pay for decent internet
@@syntrx8185 decent internet already exist. Starlink just brings it to remote places eventually. I’m fine with it. Just as the world goes on some things disappear forever.
I always come for the " you are watching Cold Fusion TV"
I signed up for the beta and it is frankly amazing, or at least compared to other options available. I live in rural Alberta, Canada and it’s been a life changer.
Wish I was up north. Down here in New Mexico I get to experience the drought, and lack of internet
What about the internet speed tho? Average? Ping?
@@heroeslore03 When I play CS:GO I average 50 ping and I’m from central Alberta. Beforehand with Xplornet it was averaging around 100. As far as speeds go, speed test says about 100 - 150mb/s and my download speed on steam averages about 25mb/s or more. There are instances when it slows down briefly but not for long. Beforehand I maxed at about 5mb/s with frequent drops and outages.

Satellite internet service is going to be a real game-changer for many people. Here in Alaska, we have many people that are very rural and only can be reached by air or air/sea. It will open so many opportunities for everyone; just look at RVers and ships! They pay an outrageous cost for internet service. I am glad to see there will be competition in the internet satellite service too! The price with go down and adjust. Thanks for the video! Cheers from Alaska!!
Until everybody (cable & satellite internet provides) just COLLUDES, AS ALWAYS, and prices SKYROCKET!

Great video technically well explained.
Stellar content. And at 6:12 I thought is that a "Tholian Web"? Cool!
This is interesting and generally well done (the listing of sources is a great addition), but I think that you should put a little in perspective the various statements on costs by using more prudent wording. E.g. the 300k$/satellite statement is not documented (actually Morgan Stanley believes each satellite cost 800k$ in Oct 2021). Similarly the cost of the receiver antenna is still quite high (2400$ each according to Business Insider) without any certainty that it will be driven down. And then there is the bandwidth available on each satellite, (17-23 Gbps) that only allows to serve a fraction of the 60M users in the USA as quoted in your video. In this context, and if you do some math with these values, you quickly come to question the economic and technical viability of the project. Even the prudent claim at the end that it may not make as much as 15B$ may not be so prudent. (edited for typos)
Imagine what governments who don’t want unfettered access to the WWW in their country must be thinking. Not easy to hide dish but doable. Cradle to grave engineering is impressive.
Depends on the government. China & Russia will demand compliance or shoot down the satellites. SpaceX will comply.
@@peterembranch5797 I don't think Russia will thougj considering OneWeb is orbiting over Alaska (currently) and/or potentially the rest of the world
SpaceX already said that they cannot serve internet over China. That's to be expected. Though there are way more countries that are open for information than not, which is always the way brighter side of things.
@@lanzer22 yeah that's why I said Russia, it's a no brainer that we can't do anything with space related with china
There's no hiding the dish. I think that phased array antenna can be detected and jammed. Russia is not worried.
Cheers for the video Tom 😎 regards frm Scotland and Wales!
