  • Got to test out the new Starlink Gen 2. Unboxing, set up, pros/cons, speed test, and a hack to get Starlink even if your address isn't eligible.
    My brother in law will be posting camping updates with Starlink as well so follow his channel Green Blue Earth.

      Actually Hughesnet is trying. I set up a Roku TV for my granddaughter and it ate up all my bandwidth in a week. However it still connects (as does the Firestick I put on it). I guess they now have excess room on their satilittes. Still only .1 mb upload. I just got the email that my Starlink order is being filled so in a few day Hughesnet is gone.

    I agree. We purchased the RV package specifically for RVing so we will be discontinuing the service for the winter months. I also heard that I should plug it in every now and then for the updates, even if there is no subscription active. I think this is amazing and is going to change a lot of people's lives who have absolutely no access to any service. Thanks for the video!

    I have Roam right now as I am moving from a house to an RV in the near future -but right now in the garden with 0 obstructions I get 200-250mbps down on the "best effort" even more overnight. It's insane and the fact I can pause it for the next 4 months really does help. The kit was half price too and you can even rent it here in the UK. I also have been lucky in the last 2 weeks to have 0 downtime

It took a few minutes to install, just wow. Now instead of 2.3 mbps I run between 40+ to 120+. Yeah, I’m a happy camper. Thank you Elon Musk…..

    Correction: The router is in Dishy, the brick is PSU and wireless AP only. The wirless AP is a turd with crapy performance and suitable for close range only.
    Internet is for domestic uses and speeds are very asymmetric (upload is pretty average). The internet is CGNAT and not public unless you want to pay a lot per month. The traffic is not raw and unfiltered either, certain ports already blocked.

      Hello Bryan. We had issues camping as well. It was great for buffering apps like youtube. But as I was saying it’s not something I would rely on for live internet right now like teams, skype or gaming because it will drop out. For light browsing and movie night it was great. Just not there yet. I was in Iceland in 2017 and there were people camping with these small rigs and they have a lot of mountains not trees and clear skys. Almost like camping in a field. I imagine that to be the best scenarios for where the tech is today for Starlink. Also I was in Tennesee in July. We drive through from Canada on our way down and back from Florida. Spent a night there and loved it - beautiful state.

    @ivofortes823 Před rokem +1

    Being able to provide Internet on remote places is the only good side of Starlink. It's an huge effort because other providers don't care and have no intentions to expand their services to remote regions. However, the high price, the obstructions issues, the poor support and the unstable Internet (this is the worst one, every 15-20 min you loose connection, I guess due to the sat handover) makes it really bad. And what we have ahead are just promises.
    In my case, where I am now, I have no option and I have to rely on Starlink. And this is it, if you have no choice, take it if you can. Anyway, if anyone is able to get fiber of even a reasonable wireless connection, I wouldn't advice to even think about getting Starlink. If you get a good fiber connection, you can have 3 times or more the speed of Starlink at 1/2 or 1/3 of the Starlink price.
    The point is simple, if are about to get Internet than it must be for all-purposes. They should write in their website and warn folks that their Internet only serves buffer systems. Therefore, if you wanna a stable Internet, please don't buy it.

Our places in Ohio also say the same thing but I know that there are people who had service in the area.

These prices should be lower than cable internet. This price is almost three times more than Spectrum internet and it’s too high. I like Elon but he will eventually fail because of the high cost. I already dumped my cable tv and just use the High speed internet for 70 bucks a month and use a firestick. Look I’m not trying to promote anything else just tired of being gouged for tv and cell phones. Why can’t someone and I thought is was Elon look out for the hard working family’s who struggle to make ends meet. Have you shopped around for streaming services and noticed they are all about the same price and the same for cable company’s. It’s like they are all tied together and no one has the guts to undercut them.
