Affordable satellite internet in the Philippines 

As mentioned in the video, I don’t need Starlink because we have a lot of affordable high-speed internet options available in Metro Manila. I bought it because I want to have a unit on standby, ready to help during calamities and disasters. I’ve already arranged to meet a certain DRRMO, to demo how the unit works - so we can be ready for the future. Who knows, maybe the DRRMO will even buy their own units.

The goal of buying was to help other people during calamities. I wasn't expecting that. I'm proud to be a follower since maybe 2013

Bringing satellite internet to disaster affected areas is a brilliant idea! Never thought of it myself

I miss this type of content. This is classic gadget addict!

Thank you. grabe yung ahead yung idea mo, for calamities, and considering the rural provinces that needed access to the internet. thank you so much

WOW!!!... Memories of the OLD GADGET ADDICT with a gadget to review.. Just like old times.. STARLINK is an amazing contribution to communication..These will only get better and probably smaller and more transportable.. Thanks for the review..

As a home-based freelancer this is a huge bonus to staying connected when the inevitable outage occurs. With battery power banks like Bluetti and now Starlink, we are open for business 24/7 in the Philippines. Thanks for the update. Now I have to convince the wife it's a great extra for our business careers.

Finally, a reason to move out and live in the welderness. Been dreaming of living somewhere far with less people and noise. A place only for myself but cant seem to do so since im still a internet addict at heart

I got subscribed because of the explanation. Well said sir. I remember that news about teachers on the roof finding a strong signal gor internet. Also in the future I want to live in a farm or in remote and quiet forest with my wife. Problem with living remotely is access to good internet, now starlink has provided the answer.

Like you i also have the same goals of providing communications and internet to affected areas when another typhoon rolls over here in Eastern Visayas I ordered a starlink so i could help these communities Thank you for being a good Samaritan sir. God bless you 🙏

Gadget Addict classic edition! Yes, I miss those videos where he is reviewing stuff, from Omni, pocket wifi's and the likes.

Great video. Thanks. I've had Starlink for about 6 months (California on my sailboat). It's pretty terrific. It's a real game changer. btw the minimal packing dimensions of the stowed Dishy (without the base) are 513mm(20.2" )x 303mm (1.9")" x ~ 8.5" high (end of the pipe stub). This should just fit in a maximum suitcase for airline travel. And it seems pretty robust. (The pipe dishy connection is very tough.) I think all the dedicated bags and boxes sold for Starlink are much too big and too expensive. Save your money.

That is another awesome gadget review boss. :) If you can review it being used in the provinces, that would be more helpful! Keep it up sir!

God Bless you sir. Surely our kababayans will be able to benefit in case of calamities

Keep up the good work you are doing for our country. Thank you for all the wonderful effort and thoughts. :)

I have been watching your videos since 2013 (the era of your CDR King videos). Good to know and see your videos again! Good luck.

This is the most talk about satellite internet provider this moment. Good to see you review it!

Your use case is really a good idea. Your heart is in the right place.

enjoyed this! Great info! Happy to let the ads roll fully if it all helps you out

The "In case of emergency/disaster application" is brilliant.

A noble cause. Much respect to you good sir!

Nice. Good to see Gadget Addict doing a gadget review.

Thank you for the video sir. Me who can’t afford, now at least understands how starlink works or what’s the cost, how fast, that helps a lot. Kudos.

Wow! Starlink are now in the Philippines! Van life in Canada and the USA uses that.

This will be very helpful to people who don't have access to fiber internet yet i.e. provinces and some parts of metro manila. Pricing is steep but I'm sure it will be worth it if you don't have other means of internet access.

Well explained rationale for the best use for starlink. I personally would also love to have one for the exact same reasons you mentioned if I have that kind of disposable income. It can serve both as your primary internet and a backup when the lines go bad. You can carry it practically anywhere like camping or going to places far from the city and or like you mentioned going to places affected by disaster. Only question is how consistent the connection is in every weather. Would love to see a 6 mo. and 1 yr. revisit on this technology.

Good to see you back reviewing techs

The objective is clear as backup ISP connectivity. I understand your prepper mentality keep it up!

PHP2,700/mo for service and PHP29,320 for hardware.

Nice video coverage thanks, watching from California.

Wow,, Your Idea also is a game changer,, never expect that.. thanks for helping Filipino in the future by using this

You have a very noble intention for that device, I hope you can help more people here in PH. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Personally even I am excited. I might not use it but knowing that an option like this is now available to us really excites me.

the municipalities in the province should buy this, its very helpful especially during calamities👌

Good video and GREAT explanation. I am glad you are going to use this to help. Thank you!

Your goal for getting Stralink is pretty cool!

Thanks! Glad to have thoughtful people like you in the Philippines.

Thanks for the review.👍🏻 This looks very promising.👌🏻

Hey, I know this is out of topic. But is it possible for you to do a vlog of Modernized jeepneys? Like what designs are available, local manufacturers and cost. Just so we can have a good idea of what the Government is looking into in terms of "modernizing" our transport system. I know there are a lot of local manufacturers that are currently trying produce as much units as possible. So if you can do an uodated one, since I'm not sure you've did it before. Thanks and more power!

Thank you for reviewing, I am planning to buy Starlink. Hello Nomad developers, Welcome to the philippines hahaha :D

Is that the official internet service provider of DILAG? 😆😆 Anyway great content GA, hope you do a follow-up review soon regarding its real-world performance.

This is a game changer for providence areas especially in places in mountain areas. No more going some where and not having any data signal🥳

Im planning to relocate to my hometown in Pangasinan in the future unfortunately having an internet is a must so Starlink is a great, rather than dealing with slow PLDT, it is a little expensive but If you can hit 200mpbs while on the countryside that is a game changer.

Please be careful; here in the USA we have a residential, business, and RV (mobile but more expensive) accounts. The residential account will not work if your GPS coordinates strays too far away from your home coordinates.

I'd be honest and say this is the 2nd video about Starlink I've watched within 2 days ü (the other was an American in Iloilo who has a mobile subcription and instantly got a decent 100+ to 200 mbps on speedtest just like yours). However, it's your insight about Starlink's purpose and usability in the countryside and underserved areas I find interesting. Since the first video and yours, I've wondered why Starlink did not have the option for solar power, given that most areas it is meant to be used in not only have poor to no Internet or cellphone providers but aren't yet electrified. Thoughts? How long did the shipping take to get to the Philippines? And how do you pay subscription? Anyhow, thanks for the share and mentioning the monthly plan in pesos. Cheers and new subscriber here. Stay safe!

I think what will worry us the most is when we enter the rainy season.. When it gets cloudy outside, i think the true test comes from there.. Hopefuly you make a short vid doing speedtest on a rainy season.. Thanks..

I wonder if there is noticeable reduction of speed during cloudy days. I wish we have Starlink when typhoon Odette devastated Cebu.

This device is really helpful, we no longer have to worry if a typhoon is going to cut our Fibr lines which takes months to restore.

It has been a while since you posted about new technology! been following since Cdrking days then you suddenly shifted to traffic scenes .Cool Starlink gadget.

Starlink is a blessing!! ❤❤❤❤

After all, Communication is utmost necessity especially during calamity.

wow now this is the Original Gagdet Addict! more please!!!!

God Bless you for having an unselfish heart!

correct, everytime typhoon devastated a province. Internet is down, phone is down, phone signal si down. so this will help a lot

This is a game changer.❤

Did you have to pay for any customs or importation fees on your starlink unit shipment?

my question is does it have enough bandwidth to support multiple devices connected?

Continue doing great video! By the way, what is the cost of the starlink gadget and the monthly subscription again? Is there a minimum subscription contract?

Bless you sir for your good intentions

@gadgetAddict please advise where to buy and how much will be the SF cost?

Just a quick question. The monthly subscription can be paused am I correct? Like you can just activate it and pay for that one month when you need to use it, and then unsubscribe when you don't? While keeping the equipment in storage.

Did starlink removed the heater? It's not needed for tropical climate, and less power consumption. Beta dish draws around 100w w/ the heater.

On the starlink website, DHL is the only means of delivery? DHL is from me in Leyte. Do DHL actually deliver or do 😅 have to pick it up at DHL location?

A must have for vloggers who wanted to upload their contents immediately without complaining about Smart and Globe. Excellent for far flung locations like El Nido and Coron.

2:50 That Heart of yours is a golden one, just wow - spending hundreds of dollars to potentially benefit others.

Wow starlink is now online in the Philippines 😊

Hope you can provide another video and test it during bad rainy weather or when there is a typhoon I'm curious how it will work with those conditions. Thanks for the review

Even if I am on pldt... I may get that because I need Internet all the time because of work. That you're correct about having a backup... Also for far flung areas it is of great service...

Good for remote areas specially in mountain area where there is no signal. Good also for disasters when mobile signals are lost.

How long is that Cable? So you have to put that Modem outside too? because You need that satellite dish to be installed in the roof right?

Can it be powered by a powebank? Coz if it's calamity, pretty sure power is off by the time being.

Does it have to work off a grounded power outlet? All of the places I've visted in PH that could benfit from this don't have grounded sockets (province towns etc) and just use the two prong power plugs. I suppose you could always pay to have a grounded socket installed but still makes it hard...

wow, wish I could have one. This could really help us.

Great video Probably need power source for a disaster relief mission. And I heard they deprioritize mobile station.

Good for preppers pala yan👍

Very helpful indeed.. 👍 thanks..

my uncle brought his starlink here even before they announced it's availabliity here. it was around 60mbps before, now we're getting 200mbps too

Please do more videos about this. Thank you

OG , Gadget Addict 🔥

just like here in the province where our 'internet providers' are a bit sluggish in providing us quality Internet connection and god knows when they can actually make it happen. This is the answer. thanks goodness Elon has thought of this. Thank you too vlogger for giving me this wonderful idea and solution to our very old and persistent problem here in Mindanao. This can help a lot, save peoples lives maybe in the future.

This is a certified gadget addict :)

That is a good internet unit. You could use anywhere

by this video i remember your cdrking reviews

Thanks! I didn't even know such a device exists. I'm curious how it performs under bad weather conditions ☁️

awesome review 😁this is good if there is no internet on where you use this as long as there is electricity or power 😀

thanks again sa mga info mo GA....ingat...

A 200 mbps internet speed in remote areas where there is no ISPs and celluar data? Now, that's def modern tech!

i wonder what you would use to power your starlink when you go to places hit by calamities. What is its power requirements? i have an ecoflow river (288Wh/600w), how long can it power a starlink router+satellite.

Hey hi, so that 2k+ a month, but when did you pay the hardware cost? After you received or just before you pay everything first?

So question, Payment is by Monthly. if there's an emergency will it be activated right away? if it's just a Backup. it doesn't store Data for later use right.

How to order or to purchase that star link sir..can you give us a link for the website..thank you

Thank you for this great info

So the internet will not work in a moving camper van? it needs to be stable?

Wow finally a video about a gadget.....😎

Finally it's a gadget addict video again.

Agreed with your explanation

the great thing about it is it’s mobile. You can go anywhere as long as there’s no problem in getting the signals and electric supply.

Good review sir

also starlink( as internet source ) very usable P2P business on remote area and mountin areas here in davao oriental starlink can solve vs old crap cellsite services

I really need this for my kids staying in Island
