SpaceX Starlink at Animal Care Clinic Episode 3: Installation, Testing and Benchmarking



After a long wait for the mounting hardware, we’ve installed the SpaceX Starlink hardware at Animal Care Clinic in Brampton! (Are we the only location in the Greater Toronto Area with Starlink?) In this video, Episode 3, I go through what’s required for installation, install Starlink’s Dishy McFlatface using the damage-free Starlink Ridgeline Roof Mount, test the Starlink connection and run connection benchmarking (and then geek out on some orbital geometry to explain what we’re seeing). And Boaty McBoatface even makes a cameo!
