SpaceX Starlink is currently a beta service that provides high-speed low-latency broadband internet to rural communities using low orbiting satellites. It’s the world’s most advanced satellite internet service. Currently there are over 1000 Starlink satellites that are delivering internet access to beta customers, and SpaceX is regularly launching more satellites into space. Their potential long term goal is to have 40,000+ Starlink satellites.
Starlink can provide much lower latency compared to other satellite internet companies. When satellites are far from Earth latency is high, resulting in poor performance for activities like video calls and online gaming. Starlink satellites are over 60x closer to Earth compared to traditional satellites, resulting in lower latency and better performance.
Currently during the beta period, Starlink customers can expect to see data speeds from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms in most locations. Starlink doesn’t have any data caps right now. Orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis and anyone can input their address on Starlink.com to see if it’s available. Currently it’s available to a limited number of users per coverage area and is delivering initial beta service both domestically and internationally.
During beta, Starlink monthly internet service costs $99/month + a one time fee of $499 for the required Starlink kit which comes with everything you need to get started: wireless router, POE injector, network cables, mounting tripod, and Starlink antenna. The antenna will detect and melt snow that falls directly on it to help prevent outages and interruptions since Starlink does require a clear view of the sky to connect.
Starlink has a free mobile app that walks you through the entire setup. It also lets you use your phone camera to find the best location for the Starlink antenna. Another cool feature from the result of the Starlink antenna receiving power from the black cable is it’s not only used to melt snow but it’s also used to power the tilt motor which automatically adjusts the angle of the antenna to sync up with the nearest satellite so you don’t need to manually position the antenna angle.
Our Starlink speed test results:
1) 117 Mbps download; 20 Mbps upload
2) 27 Mbps download; 10 Mbps upload
3) 60 Mbps download; 20 Mbps upload
4) 100 Mbps download
Going from 1Mbps to over 100Mbps is seriously not just a game changer, it’s a life changer. Having immediate access to relevant information, being able to consume and create content, being able to work from home sufficiently, that’s huge for people who live in rural areas and haven’t had access to broadband internet like this. I am super impressed with the setup and performance of Starlink. This is going to make a lot of people happy, and I’m sure people will gladly pay the $500 one time fee and $100 monthly fee for it if they’ve been living with slow internet up until now.

It’s too expensive for the most population.
"Satellite mega-constellations create risks in Low Earth Orbit, the atmosphere and on Earth" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-89909-7
Abstract
The rapid development of mega-constellations risks multiple tragedies of the commons, including tragedies to ground-based astronomy, Earth orbit, and Earth’s upper atmosphere. Moreover, the connections between the Earth and space environments are inadequately taken into account by the adoption of a consumer electronic model applied to space assets. For example, we point out that satellite re-entries from the Starlink mega-constellation alone could deposit more aluminum into Earth’s upper atmosphere than what is done through meteoroids; they could thus become the dominant source of high-altitude alumina. Using simple models, we also show that untracked debris will lead to potentially dangerous on-orbit collisions on a regular basis due to the large number of satellites within mega-constellation orbital shells. The total cross-section of satellites in these constellations also greatly increases the risk of impacts due to meteoroids. De facto orbit occupation by single actors, inadequate regulatory frameworks, and the possibility of free-riding exacerbate these risks. International cooperation is urgently needed, along with a regulatory system that takes into account the effects of tens of thousands of satellites.
Can you have more than one household on star link
Finally I'll be able to leave my 90kbps internet. Thanks Elon ?.
speed resr
Block Elon Musk and Bill Gates. They will kill billions of people with the satellites they will launch into space!!!! Believe me, please. After launching the satellites, it will be too late!!! Pressure them not to implement this plan. If I'm wrong, you will lose 1 minute of texting them. But if I'm right, billions of people die!!! Please say stop to them!!
Subbed. Thanks for the informative video Andy!!! Awesome job.
Watching Americans get excited over 112Mbits/s download and 20Mbits/s upload speed and 54ms ping while watching Youtube with my 947Mbits/s download and 941Mbits/s upload speed and 2ms ping. ?
Will rain/clouds affect connectivity?
hello sir, can i use this in the philippines? can we connect switch to the starlink router so that i can connect one or more computer or other gadgets?
i live in the uk and im running of a simcard, ive ordered this now and im waiting for my kit to arrive, up to 6 months but itll be worth it
im poor i cant afford it so i have to be happy with my 500 kbs internet speed
Great thanks starlink for destroying the natural world of stars a night and NON NATIVE EMF bombardment
Dont forget about the damage Radio frequencies have on cellular processes. Look into voltage gated calcium channels being disrupted by STAR LINK EMF'S
Finally I can get rid of frontier internet!!!!
It was great, especially for people living in countries where the system is totalitarian and the government blocks their access to the Internet, such as Iran, North Korea and …
Yep im going to get this cuz Explorernet sucks
I reserved a "Dishy McFlatface" last month. Waiting for service to become available in my area. (36 degrees North lattitude)
Awesome ? idea star link
Free Internet from Elim mask.
It be cool ? if star link
comes to Canada ?? to.
When it will come to Telangana India
We've been waiting since February 12,2021 we paid $99 down we're in Pineville KY Southeast of Louisville KY and we are looking forward to it now get here already
5g is already faster with tmobile home internet lower latency too
is it working now?
Yes
