Very pleased with videos. I am 80 years old. Nothing in my educational background has prepared me for this. You make this child's play. Thank you!

[darrendunn]

I got mine 3 weeks ago, works great in heavy rain, even a lite snow the other day dident slow it Crazy fast and reliable. Best thing I bought this F.U.. Hugesnet.

[Joe_Costanzo]

Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you for all your starlink videos. I finally received mine, finishing up installation yesterday. I've been reviewing all your content and it has been extremely helpful. Keep up the good work!!

[aussieuGA]

Minor correction, the speeds are MegaBITS, not megabytes - but still very fast... I agree with your assessment of sloppy delivery at end of driveway. I used to live in Jupiter so I can confirm, that box would be awfully tempting for porch pirates 😉

[janwilliams]

Very good video. I received Mr. Bevel 4 weeks ago and everything you have just completed I have experienced. Folks you need to listen to what he is saying about the mount you will be preferring. I wanted until I received Mr. Bevel to decide on a mount. I am still waiting on the mount for a permanent mounting solution. One other piece of information that some of you might need to know. My unit came with a very light scratch on the face. I was concerned of possible future damage so I contacted Starlink and informed them. They immediately sent me a replacement. I set up my original order so I could get internet and it is soooo sweet. But here was the confusing part. If you look at the 15 minute mark of this video you will see the unit move after he plugged it in to search for satellites. If you have to return your unit for some reason it won’t just fold back into the original position so it will fit in the box to return. You can’t even force it and shouldn’t try. This is how it will work if you find yourself needing to return it for some reason. You take the unit and lay it face down on a flat surface like your kitchen table. You plug it in and within 3 minutes it will fold back up into the position it came in. Hopefully that might help some of you. Possibly in your next video you might want to show how that is done. Great video!!

Thanks for the great video, it helped tremendously. I bypassed the Starlink router and used the TP-link Archer AX6000, TP-link Omada hardware controller, TP- link 8-port switch, and 4 of the TP-link Omada AC1200 access points. I hooked everything up as you showed and it works great. Then I added 5 cameras to the mesh and all is good. As you said in the beginning that ethernet adapter was the killer as it took me 7 weeks to get. Thanks again.

I just installed my Starlink last night and my wife and I are amazed! We've had Hughesnet for a lot of years and it is a joke compared to this. I put it on a pole I already had, because I didn't want to put holes in my roof either. Coincidentally, it appears we have the same roof, stone-coated steel. We love it also!

[pilotlangdon]

I have the original dish. In Saskatchewan Canada since May 2021. We have had extreme heat, heavy rain and lately -50 Celsius weather with 15cm of snow and high winds. No issues whatsoever with service.

[rboud]

Just got mine 2 days ago, I have been waiting since last March. Tested it signal is great but weather is bad and I'm not going on my roof till some snow melts. Probably Monday or Tuesday I will get it installed. Can't Wait!

I was a fairly early beta subscriber in the Pacific Northwest. I've had my system for just over 6 months. I have about 20% antenna edge obstruction from trees which is not correctable. I have an "outage" every hour or so that Starlink detects and records due to those "obstructions", but I don't see them in my system's performance. My average download speed is 169 mbps. My average upload speed is 14 mbps.The fastest download speed I've ever measured was 401 mbps.The system seems immune to heavy rain, fog, etc, which is an almost daily occurrence here.

Starlink has given my family the opportunity to enjoy high-speed Internet out in the country. It is amazing!

I purchased a unit about 2 weeks ago. Setup was difficult. I had not seen your video. I found you by chance trying to research setups on YouTube and found newer videos. I am a subscriber to your channel now and enjoying it. I reside in Canada, Saskatchewan. I had to wait several hours for the unit to start functioning and put a ticket through the support to try and resolve the unit location to its proper location. I admit I am technically challenged with technology. Eventually got it working and had to relocate it. I ordered a gable end mount which I received yesterday. I reside two hrs from the cabin so installation will be in a few days. I am disappointed with the speed and the latency and I did watch your video on topic and wrote to Starlink. They said they would look into it but that is almost a week now and still waiting. I got an automated reply and that is it.

I will continue to trouble shoot watching more of your videos. I also received an Ethernet plug in. Signal strength within the cabin is not very good unless I am right at the base unit so I have acquired a wifi 6a router and will try that.

Thanks for your videos and knowledge.

FedEx did the same to me as well... just dropped the Box marked "starlink" for all to see at the end of our driveway... which is about 400 feet from the house!

But on the plus side Starlink is now our primary internet service and my 2 DSL 6mb lines I have balanced together has now become our backup service. Also we now are able to have live security cameras to protect our property out in the countryside!

[chadbergman]

Got on the waiting list about a year ago, a couple of days ago got the email, payed for starlink hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll have it up and running, Can't wait!!
Great Video, Thank You!

[scdi]

I had the same 'drop off' experience, only this was for our cabin in MN (slowest internet speed on earth with Windstream). I drove there today to check things as I do once a month during winter. To my surprise, there was this grey box in the snow by the mailbox. Must have been there a few days. Would be nice if someone emailed an alert saying it was on the way. Thx for the video.

[raymondortizrivera]

Thanks a bunch for the vids.
Just got our unit, i bought it for my folks trying to find a way to test it out before I do a more permanent install.

Just installed Gen 2. Used the Flash & Pivot mount to install on composite shingled roof - I live on the eastern slope of the Sierra, with peak wind gusts of 80mph and thought this hardware would handle the wind load. Performance has been outstanding as a rural broadband alternative to lower speed WISP options. Your video is a few months old and the non recurring/recurring prices has gone up a bit. Good video. Thanks.

[DesertPackRat]

Thanks! Mr Bevel arrived today (Sunday!!!). I’ll be using your sandbag idea for the roof for now.

[ericknaus]

After watching your account of it, I’m going to get one. 40ms to 50 ms is incredible! I set up voip systems and anything below 85ms is very usable.
