WHY I SWITCHED FROM SPECTRUM TO STARLINK INTERNET BY SPACEX

Major storm knocked out power to 350k people. I have been witihout power for nearly a week. As a physician, need online access 24/7 to work. So, bought the Starlink from Westmarine. Cost $299. Setup super easy. Delivered next day. (Cleveland, Ohio). Similiar speed tests at home. Plan to cancel my Spectrum cable internet plan. Thanks for posting this review.

I've had it since it first came out, mine 2 gen it moves on its own. You can't go wrong, you're gonna love it. Enjoy

Out frigging standing!!! Thanks for the advice 😊

Switched to starlink last year and absolutely love it. So much faster and reliable!

Starlink just went to the top of my list. Thanks for the video.

I was in the same boat as you. Only one internet provider at 6mbs (frequently out for hrs at a time) and $85. Been with them 10 years, switched to Starlink and it is amazing! Most speeds are over 200mbs. I would gladly pay more if I had to!

I definitely would like a follow up to this video!

[robertarchuleta]

we currently have verizon for home...it really buffers alot during peak hours...will for sure check out Starlink...also...which mesh system do you recommend??? Thanks!!

It is worth checking out, If I can afford the monthly fee. Yes, monthly fees affect my choices.

We live in a rural area and have spectrum as well. We have so many issues with spectrum to the point where I almost didn’t pass my speed test for a remote job. 😩. When doing speed tests on spectrum we vary from 30-40mbps lol. Plus it goes out every time it rains sigh. We have so many outages that’s it’s unreal. We just signed up for Starlink and hope we like it once we set it up!

Holy cow your spectrum is slow 😮. My Spectrum download is around 300. I too live in the middle of nowhere, I am in Wyoming. I have thought about switching to Starlink. I will be interested in your follow up next month.

It’s the best we’ve ever had here in the country. It even has a heater to melt the snow automatically.

I recently changed my Xfinity service to Internet only. While I am generally pretty happy with the (gigabit) service, for the price, we recently had an outage for over 10 days when hurricane Beryl blew through our area. I have looked at the Starlink system before, but this may well push me to make the leap, as I doubt that there would have been any interruption in service with that system. I did have power because we have a generator. Thanks again for a great video tutorial.

In your demo equipment wise it’s a great way to go and it’s steady it should be excellent

You have peaked my interest as I have Spectrum but get a lot of buffering on cloudy/raining days. How would the weather affect the Starlink signal? Would it be like satellite tv where rain or heavy clouds would block the signal preventing you from having internet access?

[mybking]

Just curious if you have to worry about someone running off with the Starlink satellite out in the open not secured to anything?

[jamesowens]

What about when it rains/snows? Is it gonna be like DTV & go out?

[markk]

Funny, I too have Spectrum and we just bought Starlink mini with the residential roam plan (we travel in our RV a lot and I work while Rv'ing). We are in southwestern Washington state and we too are limited in our options and we too have little to no cell signal at our home location. In our area, when the power goes out, so does our Spectrum service ans usually when power comes back, the Spectrum service takes 1 or 2 hours more to back online. Also, Spectrum has been slowly increasing the price of our basic internet service...5 years ago it was $45/mo its now $95/mo. We also experience a degradation in speeds. Right now our Download it 85 Mbps and 11 up. We are going to do the same...keep Spectrum for a bit while testing out Starlink. If Starlink works as advertised in our area, then we will dump Spectrum.

How is it Mounted to Your Roof. Did You have to Purchase any Additional Hardware for the Mounting ⁉️⁉️⁉️

Is there a monthly charge after wards?
