Just to clarify, that's megabits not bytes. Otherwise you'd have a gigabit-speed link. 😊

We live out in the middle of nowhere as well. We’ve had Starlink for about a year and it has been flawless and fantastic.

I have the motorized system that aims it as needed. I ordered the pipe that most people use as a short mast ($30), had a muffler shop bend it 90 degrees, and welded a plate to use as a mounting base. I mounted the pipe on the side at the peak of my pole barn. I bypassed the Starlink router and used my own equipment to create a mesh network in order to have connectivity in all areas on my property to run security cameras.

Oh yeah, Starlink is a game changer for us rural folks with no other good options. No regrets. With a little fabrication I was able to use the old Hughes Net dish mount.

Like you we live in the middle of nowhere...but in rural Australia...and the only internet we had was fairly poor mobile (cell) internet. Even cell phone coverage is patchy. Starlink has been an absolute game changer. As well as high speed internet we can now use our mobile phones inside our house using calling over wifi as we did not have indoor coverage. I can watch youtube now without worrying about data limits!

[kendrury]

We love ours, no one kicks out videos as relentlessly as you.
Love your channel.

Weve had our starlink for 2 plus years shortly after the gen 2 came out. At first it was a little spotty, but after a few more satellites in orbit came on line, its been flawless. We did the hard mount to an eve on the end of the house, and its been rock solid.

[JCWren]

It's pretty cool, isn't it? I retired from SpaceX in November of '23. I didn't work on the Starlink side, but had exposure to it. Fun stuff. And yeah, high speed internet is a requirement. I have gigabit fiber.

Also, those speeds are in megaBITS per second, not megabytes.

Brock, this video was very informational. Personally internet speed download and upload are highly important. I share the same struggles you where with slower speeds.

[CatShot]

My dad was a don't read the instructions kind of guy too, after watching numerous damaged gear because of that, it made me an read the instructions carefully, highlighting very important portions.

[tinkering]

Thanks Brock.
Your read'n my mind.
Just what I needed to know.

[todd]

I've been looking at StarLink for a little while now. Thanks for the video Brock!

[tangoseal]

Awesome man. I live in Rural Georgia and we have a 1 gbps fiber up and down. If I lived where you do I'd probably get funding to start my own ISP to serve community like yours. A WISP.

[ThePrybra]

Had ours for 3 years love it, no issues

[MIoffGridAdventures]

Thanks, Brock, for the review. I'm considering upgrading from the Starlink Gen 2 to the Gen 3. You're not the only guy who doesn't read manuals. I think that's part of being a guy.

[Hairbytyra.s]

My fiance and i went half on getting the set up today! We live in the Midwest in the middle of nowhere where the average satellite is shitty. I really want to work from home so this is going to be great.

[chriswhitehead]

I just ordered Starlink for our property in TN. I will be able to go up there more to video and work on the infrastructure. We don’t have gird power yet but will have Starlink

[noodgenoodgerson]

We also live in the sticks and have tried everything. Yesterday I told my husband we should try sticking a cable into a pile of rocks on the roof. So I am FOFLOLing at the beginning of your video!

[TexasNana]

Thanks for showing how to set it up and for all the info 🙂

Starlink Gen2 user here 👋, glad to see it's working out for you so far Brock!
I've been using Starling for about 2 years, and it is our only internet source available (besides cellular hotspots).

I will say I am happy that my unit came with the self-leveling / tracking features, but I did have to wait like 6 months to get it as a "beta" user.
There have been no real issues to speak of, only 2 or 3 system wide outages for upgrades or temporary issues.

Performance wise I usually drop internet during really heavy thunderstorms, but not during rain showers.
Speed wise I generally get 75-100 MBPS download and 10-15 MBPS upload, though this morning I have been getting 130-150 download and 8-13 upload.
