  1. Your percentage calculations were wrong. Just on downloads, fiber optic was 963% better then StarLink on average. You could also say StarLink only has 9.4% the capacity of existing technology.

    It sells for $600 and uses 1.15 kwh of power per day. Then it performs at less then 1/10 as well as your existing system. You are paying a lot of money to maybe use the system when traveling.

  3. Honestly this overall was a great video. However I understand what these speed test show, but actual reality seems the same. I have starlink and a t-mobile hot spot at home in the county. I use fiber at work and I cannot see a difference in speed when simply browsing the web at all. To be fair it may be the firewall at work since I’m an engineer they may be screening everything we do. Not sure why but I don’t see the difference here in Texas.

  4. Great video, but Starlink was originally made for people (in all countries) who cannot get fiber, or even decent 4G (like me —- running on 16mb of DSL, and non-existent 4G still!) 🙂
