Welcome! This channel is dedicated to all things tech with a touch of topics outside of tech every so often to mix things up! I have always had a passion for technology from a young age and loved to share my knowledge of tech with those who needed assistance or were just curious about the latest, new tech related products. Have a look around and if you happen to like what you see, maybe consider dropping a SUB and help me grow my channel!
It seems to run fairly well. It will however how moments where it will stutter and feel sluggish but that is to be expected since it is pretty old hardware.
Thank you, this saves me so much time. I always turn off any unneeded communication when I leave the house. And flicking through the settings got really tiresome.
It costs $29 in Nigeria, $30 in Malawi, $31 in Zambia,, $37 in Rwanda and $50 in Kenya and its $120 monthly in the USA. So glad all rural areas almost in our state now has state fiber so 80 for 1 gig down and 700mbps upload. strain out fiber around 2 miles or if further it is alot more if want pay(40 times 12 = 480, so even extra run cost worth it as comes with free install..fiber will go a long ways off mainlines unlike hfc(cable) without continuator. starlink has very small usability use in our state and i am so glad now see speed and cost monthly alone.
Lol yes that is obviously what you'd need to do! This is just for demonstration. The ideal scenario is for use say in an RV or van for passengers to use while driving.
That should work as long as you are not driving. If you will plan to drive the motor home with the kit on your roof you will need to find a more sturdy roof mount for the dish.
honestly paying 500$ normal price and then ontop paying 150$/mo for 200/30 down vs up, is a terrible value... it works for what it is but I currently pay 110$ for 2 gigabit internet up and down and its never stuttered once
Unfortunately I don't have access to cable or fiber where I live since I live rural. My only options are satellite or a small local ISP with ground based repeaters on top of the various surrounding foothills. Starlink compared to this mentioned local ISP is MUCH faster for the same price which is great! I do agree that the price is a tad much and still envy those who have 1-2 gig fiber or cable connections but for those with limited options this is a good route!
@@thetechguy600 its definitely good for that instance i agree! i just dont think the value is particularly good overall whether youre rural or urban living. Just for the fact you got such slow speeds, its almost double what 5glte can do for 150/mo, which seems crazy considering that different wireless providers charge between 80-100$ for unlimited data talk text etc etc, way better value in the starlink though over any satellite isp, hughesnet is horrendous lol
I pay 100 a month in rural mo for 59 ping 22mb download 2.5 upload not sure what mine is I have router that is connected to the phone line and WiFi is ran by the phone company also for some reason if you want home phone you have to get the slowest wi-fi plan
@@ShotByKorzy there Rally net supposedly there putting in fiber but in tired of dealing with them and I want to move on my own property when I get the money so I'm going to give starlink a try

I get wi-fi from the phone line 100$ a month my last speed test was 22.mb download and 2.5 mb upload with 59 ping I live in rural Missouri only 200 pop in my town
ya like sim games? ok, get a racing wheel and build a nice comfy race rig and do IRACING!!! sure theres less exspensive hobbies like COCAINE ADDICTION but it is fun, and drinking beer is allowed, the only legal drunk driving you can do
It certainly is strange. I just tried it in the settings app search bar and it crashed the entire settings app. Apparently this is now fixed in the recently released iOS 18.1 Beta 3 so once 18.1 comes out to the public it should be remedied.
Do you have to set up a starlink account before starting the setup process? I am getting ready to buy the kit and take it up where there is currently no cell or any kind of service. I’m wondering if I need to do anything before I get up there. Thanks!
If you are planning to use your Starlink in an area that has no cell coverage or any Internet of any kind, you will absolutely want to create your account and get the Starlink set up prior to your travel as Internet is required to do the initial set up and account creation.
@@thetechguy600 i appreciate that you used the starlink and tested it out AS A PRACTICAL PERSON WOULD BE USING IT!!! (on the dashboard) lol not 1 other youtuber showed that
Pointing the dish (out of proper North) to the West does not get more satellites better than pointing it correctly as prescribed by the app. Regardless if there are obstructions like your house . What about the Power Draw graph? Consider not using “Basically “ in almost every sentence, it’s just a filler word.
Not sure why you’re getting so worked up. I make content to try to help people. The app states that the dish should be placed roughly west and not directly north. I tried placing it in clear view in other directions outside of west and the connection was consistently terrible. In terms of the power draw, this video was posted before the new update that contained the power draw feature was released. As for the “filler” word, so what, what’s the issue with using it in every sentence. I don’t see a problem.. words are words and can be used as many times as one wants.. plus It’s irrelevant to the video content anyways.
(Maybe you should know) if you’re having issue with app that doesn’t work you need to send feedback then it will work after some time (you don’t need to wait next update) as a personally i had 3 times and it is now working
@@thetechguy600 I found my answer, because I purchased directly from Starlink it activated the moment it connected, and billed me for the 1st month of service. I only wanted to test it and take an update without activating and starting a monthly contract at this time. Apparently this is not an option, no way to get out of the 1st monthly payment.
This is a 3rd gen iPhone SE which is on the iOS 18 officially supported device list. I installed the beta software OTA via the settings app on the phone its self. All done legit.
It has indeed. It also helped to get the dish up above my homes roof to get a better view of the sky. Using this on the ground as seen in the video is certainly not ideal.
@@thetechguy600now it shows up, never had an up vote delayed, but glad to help your channel, I'm not into apple products, last apple I owned was the IIe back in 81, lasted me thru 92 I think, my we come a long way since then
may i ask also where do you live>>> east coast west coast?? im southeast virginia just kinda wana know your location so to look up your acg download rate. ,ime shouldnt be to bad here
I am based in California. The highest speed I've seen so far is 435Mbps. I seem to average around 200-250Mbps however. I am using the $150 Mobile plan since I have already used nearly 300GB of data.
exactly what i wanted to know, i plan on part time living in my truck and just sleep in parking lot at night after delivering groceries all day and use starlink on the dash while driving about town with no interuption of service, your video answered my question completely
I am glad I could help! I am planning on testing the Mini version soon in the same scenario since I my self would like a smaller dish sitting on my dash.
@@thetechguy600 so far all ive seen is the roam plan means downgraded network your on low end priority, but if you dont mint paying the 150 a month its just the same as standard residential, but yea great vid exactly what i wanted to know, good luck on the mini test
