    Anyone used this for gaming i have read the latency is poor?
    J400uk's avatar
    I had it for a few months, latency was about 30ms. It’s usable for gaming but not as good as fibre in that respect.
  2. wigglebarron's avatar
    it's behind CGNAT though, for peoples awareness, there are ways round it, but if you ever hosted anything or wanted directly to talk home from a remote location. there's a bit of config you need to do to make it happen

    I've been using Starlink for around 6 months now as we're limited to awful cable at 24mbps max. I use it for gaming but every 10-20 mins my ping shoots to 999 for a few seconds. Annoying but not a deal breaker. Located in Worcestershire. 52046577-7nzWB.jpg

    Just thought I’d post this as an example of a worst case expectation for their network. Just over 100 down and 10 up is the worst I’ve ever seen on it.

    As for best case in my experience, 150 down and 20 up.

    Latency is the big kicker though. It’s so inconsistent. You get random spikes and your connection will go momentarily unresponsive. It’s difficult due to the nature of the technology they use. But a decision has to be made between LEO satellite speed vs fixed line stability. For some people, the slow fixed line could still be the best.

    Yup any pause in connection will drop vpn connections and kick you out of games... so no good for wfh or gaming...

    Can't believe people are willing to pay £75 a month for this!

    Blame the government who expect large parts of the country to remain in the dinosaur era.

    Any ideas of the power draw on these...?

    When I recorded this video last year, it was around 40Wh. However, in winter, it might be a bit higher due to the heating features that prevent snow and icing. Hope this helps!

    Installed over a week ago we are semi rural it’s a game changer for us we struggled to get 7-12 meg now just over 200 meg even with the storm other night still 90 plus , 75 may be expansive but dam it’s worth it to us , if your urban then I can’t see the point , live in a village or a farm then it’s.

    I remember the days when standard ADSL was typically 7 Mbps. I regularly used it for work while visiting relatives and it worked perfectly. Couldn't really tell the difference between that and my office WAN at work. The computer itself was the limiting factor I assume. A recently as a year ago I was working in coastal Cornwall for some days and stuck with 1.5 Mbps. Landline internet and 4G (tried several networks) were equally bad. To my surprise everything worked reliably including Teams videos. The TV in the property there had BBC iPlayer and that worked too, albeit with reduced resolution. Unless you're a graphic designer or media producer, is this obsession with speed all a bit over hyped?

    Forgot my vpn was on, and it’s showing as €65 a month for the data plan. Has anyone used vpn to get this on a cheaper tariff?

    Really? Great idea if it works. Let me know how you get on.

    What's the max number of connections these devices can have ?

    Do you have to subscribe for this to work? Or can you buy data in a bundle for infrequent use (edited)
    wigglebarron's avatar
    home version comes with a wifi router only, You can purchase a rj45 adapter that sits in just before the wifi router. that allows you to pump it to a switch/ or your own firewall/router (pfsense etc) I have set one up at a remote office and it's been working fine for several months now, there's no real max connections i'm aware of, but there are upload and download limits, QOS of their network is understandable as far as i understand it's a contention ratio thing aswell the more starlinks in the direct area to you the more you share the connection. subscription is per month basis,, you don't pay you don't connect, you pay you connect, no data bundles afaik.

    Think sometimes saw £0 upfront ads on Twitter? Not sure if it's real / maybe worth waiting for those?

    £0 is a hardware rental promotion on activation only, you still have to pay £10 a month rental on top of the monthly sub.

    They reduced prices all over EU to like 40 euros per month; why do they keep the UK @ £75? (edited)
  14. ian.walker's avatar
    Not as good as the last offer which offered brank new kit for £99 :-(
    sinxa's avatar
    Author
    £99 was a UK introductory price for extremely rural areas, unfortunately without a time machine, and without qualifying based on location at that time, a new kit will set you back £449 now days. (edited)

    Would rather go without internet at all rather than give Musk even one penny but good deal for anyone who would, I guess.

    I’ll give him some extra on your behalf.

    Seems a good option if BT aren't playing ball in your area. Still some very rural areas in the UK who have no hope of getting broadband at even the minimum for WFH, Netflix etc. we are lucky an Alt net built out our area 7 years ago and then stopped but connected us. BT is our only alternative and is less than 6mb. The BT build out for fibre on our road is scheduled finally before 2026 some won't even get that.
    chicaneuk's avatar
    Agree. It's incredible technology when you think what has been done to enable it and the relatively low entry price. If you live out in the sticks and broadband isn't even remotely an option it's a completely viable alternative.

    surely independent 5G aerial companies are cheaper than this? I live in semi-rural North Wales and you can get (sometimes) faster than this with a local company for half the price in some of the most geographically demanding areas.
    thegorilla's avatar
    All depends on your location. If you’re rural (like me) there’s no 5G and 4G .(with aerial) maxes out at about 20 meg. Usable for limited use but not WFH and multiple devices.
  18. adriandocherty's avatar
    Interesting discussions here but depressing! Why are so many areas of UK without decent broadband still? And many of them, like me (TN14 6LY), are hardly “rural”. It’s a travesty.

    The outback of Australia (my wife is from Goomalling WA) gets excellent broadband and is properly rural.
    KodaBear's avatar
    You can get Vodafone 5G at that postcode with an outdoor router, or 4G indoor broadband from EE and O2 (or Three with an outdoor 4G router) so there are at least some options for half decent speeds.

    About 80% of UK households can get gigabit broadband whether that’s fibre or cable. It’s good going but that last 20% is going to get slower and slower to roll out for various reasons (mostly cost)

    Might consider this if and when I decide to sell up shop and go live off grid
    harrythefish's avatar
    Hope that was ironic
  20. K0YS's avatar
    So what speeds do you get?
    J400uk's avatar
    Download averaged around 150-200 for me. Upload was about 10% of that so ~15
  21. tony70's avatar
    What would be the average upload speed in rural areas? I am thinking of attending Glastonbury music festival and uploading photos to a news agency.
    Quicklite's avatar
    Reckon the requirement for work use is vastly different (no signal = no data = no photo upload), to personal use (no signal not too bad)

    Is it not cheaper to buy 30days mobile data sims from the main networks to see if any work?
    reddit.com/r/g…al/

    Also curious: can you take Starlink for Roaming, or is it only for fixed location? (edited)
