That's actually incredibly impressive.

Finally, I can live out my dreams of being a hermit in the mountains without sacrificing my ability to shit post.

[ArraCSW]

I have joked for years that I want to live in a cave, away from other people and society, but only if it had good internet... seems like my dream is a step closer to being a reality.

My Dad gets 2mb download a second out in the woods...This is a massive deal :)

Something to consider is that apparently in the first 12 hours of connection, it's still determining the best possible connection for you to the starlink network and your initial speeds can vary a great deal but once fully sync'd with the starlink network, you (in theory) should not see those delays barring extreme or inclement weather conditions

"it's slower but its's usable" - cool, still faster than my internet connection. Like three times. Cool.

I'm getting 2 down and .8 up from the only provider I can get. My Starlink kit was delivered last week, but I'm waiting on my roof mount. This is going to be a crazy massive change for me. I've always wanted to livestream, and now I'll have that chance.

Imagine having to call your teacher to tell them that you can't join the zoom call because your internet satalite got hit by space debris.

I have Starlink in rural Puerto Rico and I can honestly say it has been life changing. My family has had a challenge getting good internet connection to our area (mainly due to lazy ISP who basically have a monopoly/duopoly in PR). As soon as pre-orders went live, I pre-ordered, then converting that into the official order around 7 months later.

I receive upwards of 125 Mbps and it has changed so much in our lives, that it was actually a little emotional at first (just due to all the fighting and struggles in regards to getting connection at all for working and education). Funny enough, a month after getting Starlink, guess who would call, offering to install internet since "it is now available in our to say, out of principle, I told them to shove it (plus, the speeds and all were way lower than what Starlink is giving).

Can’t wait to say “when I was young, we didn’t have space internet”

"Ever notice that the ads always load better than video"
Watchout linus google will come for you

[feffy]

"You're gonna notice 27ms ping"
Me, who used to play with 200ms ping: "Yeah, notice how much better it is"

[andrewrintoul]

I've had a starlink for about a year now. It's significantly improved over time and I can comfortably play e-sports titles on it without really noticing any hitches these days.

Linus browsing his own website using starlink: "This isn't bad!"

Linus looking at a picture of himself modeling underwear: "This is rich multimedia!"

[Kontt]

Ridge wallet has been wanting to redefine the wallet for years why don't they just do it already.

Edit: I have achived my goal in life. Getting a heart from linus. Now i can finally acend to a higher plane of existance.

[tkirchmann]

Linus: I just want a headshot from space in CSGO.

Me: That satellite is Science not magic...

[mushy]

Linus needs to do a 12month review of starlink and see if it has improved since last video. spaceX has had multiple deployments of the satellite since then

[GentleWruzzPuppet]

Linus with Fiber Internet: "We got starlink!"
Me living in a clearing in the woods suffering with HughesNet at barely 1mbps, shared with a family of 3, with over 800ms ping for over a year: "Please for the love of God give it to me already! I miss playing games with friends!"

[sinsofthesend]

As someone who lives in the woods, with around 1.1 mb/s download because I’m still on dsl, I’m loving this

[mentholduck]

When Linus says "it's manageable" that just instantly translates in my head to "it's phenomenal".

[alecrizer]

im a traveling nurse and i live out of an rv. i actually ended up getting starlink because of this video and its great. i can easily hook it up on top of the rv and then when i need to travel its as simple as unplugging it and putting it up... and i can still game with my friends while im away.
