  • ChickenAdobo on 01/01/2023 - 15:41

    Might be good for those stuck on FTTN limbo on max speed of 50/20. There are a few suburbs nationwide with no FTTP upgrade listed yet.

    • dman1 on 01/01/2023 - 16:04

      yes, I mentioned that use case earlier on - as long as you don't have a large object in the path - I think they mentioned something like 100 degrees of clearance, since the dish tracks the satellites, there's no reason people who are in that 400 - 1100 metre zone of FTTN and they want faster speeds, and are prepared to pay for it - remember, some people have paid between $5K-$20K and more for a single TCP to FTTP, its quite a bit cheaper.

      There are a lot of towns and suburbs which aren't in the next 3-4 years of Fibre rollout. The ones that are going to get a Fibre roll past sooner than later, are listed in three different stages on NBN's website

    • tessel on 13/01/2023 - 22:42

      Yeah, depends on if people really need that extra speed. A 50/20 connection will cost around $55 to $60 provided you change providers every 6 months, compared to $139 starlink. You also aren't going to get such high ping nor the drop outs that starlink experiences. This isn't to say starlink is crap but I'd only go from a 50/20 FTTN to starlink if I absolutely wanted higher download speeds. Now, if I was still on crappy FW then definitely I'd be upgrading to starlink. Otherwise, a decent 50/20 FTTN it depends.

      • ChickenAdobo on 14/01/2023 - 03:19

        Well if you have a 5 heavy user in the same household. A 50/20 connection is bad.

      I ordered on 31/12 using the fb ad, but can’t see any credit. It just says USD 0 balance. Where does it show the credit ?

      Note: dishy hasn’t shipped yet. Ethernet adaptor has shipped though.

  • eug on 01/01/2023 - 16:37

    Since they don't pro-rata the charges, if my billing period for the RV model is 1st - 31st and I unpause it on the 30th, does that mean I'll get charged $174 for 1 day and another $174 for the following month? Or do I get a new billing period starting from the 30th?

      Apart from support being slow, can confirm this shit is life changing, I'm from up north and getting 100-260mbps on average and even getting better ping to Sydney sometimes (usually get 80-90) but with starlink it's anything from 45 to 110 it just depends on how it's routed via laser links

    Well, weighed up the options. For RV travelling on our lap of Oz this makes sense…. We looked at Zoleo box that costs $300 odd dollars and $80 a months as an emergency measure if we get stuck somewhere on our trip around the country. OR we buy a sat phone…. Very expensive $700 for a phone and horrendous call charges……We could buy an Epirb that just sits there in case of emergency… Or we buy Starlink and use VOIP for all our calls and have internet and streaming every where we go.

    When we leave, we can disconnect our $65/month TPG plan saving $65, we can drop one of our phone plans down to $5/month from $30 just to keep the number saving $25/month. Don't have to worry about mobile coverage everywhere we go, as its spotty out of the city regardless of provider.

    So its done and lets hope it works as well as we think it will….. Only dumb thing is why do Starlink not have a 12V option for power with the RV version? makes no sense….

      Only dumb thing is why do Starlink not have a 12V option for power with the RV version? makes no sense….

      It's pretty silly; it's probably one of Elon's impulses. He probably said "RV version - NOW!" and they released the RV plans before they developed RV-specific hardware.

      FWIW all the routing is done in the dish so you can hack together a PoE injector that runs off 12V and connect it to any standard router. The custom cable makes it a little harder though; the best way is to buy the Ethernet adaptor and convert that to a PoE injector so you don't have to cut the stock cable.

      • Regie69 on 10/02/2023 - 18:02

    NO CONTRACTS, 30-DAY TRIAL

    Long term contracts prevent both parties from making sensible changes when necessary.

    With Starlink, it’s a fair deal both ways. Starlink can adjust terms and pricing as needed, and customers can cancel at any time, for any reason.

    Try any Starlink Service for 30 days and, if not satisfied, return the hardware for a full refund.

          It would be subject to ITAR restrictions if it were used for military purposes. It would mean paperwork, so their T&C’s would ordinarily say not for such uses.

            As I understand it, ITAR is only a problem if Starlink is used in weapons, such as in suicide drones.

              @bargaino: Maybe it's related to the water drones like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeqszwkqhSo

              Afaik Starlink does not work on the occupied territory, this limits it usage for longer range drones.

                @DmytroP: Is "does not work on the occupied territory" the thing the first poster was referring to as "pulled the pin"? I hate these ill-informed kneejerk comments.

                People are being vague, but it was started that the terminals cannot be used for long-range drone strikes. Which sounds to be like terminals being used as part of the drone, be it flying or boat. The live video stream would appear to use starlink. Alternative satellite communication does not have the bandwidth without a fixed dish.

                  "There are things that we can do to limit their ability to do," she said, referring to Starlink's use with drones. "There are things that we can do, and have done."

                  "We know the military is using them for comms, and that's ok," she said. "But our intent was never to have them use it for offensive purposes."

In some cases it's bought and paid for by volunteers - around $60-70USD per month instead of $450USD per month government/army is paying or $4500USD per month SL suggested charging for the service (top tier plan for yachts).

        Not sure about this "average of 60-80". Where is this info from? Can you please show us?

        My personal experience is that speeds are consistently over 200 down and about 15 up. Usually faster.
        We are outside a small country town and in a local discussion about a month ago, others in the region are experiencing the same. Nobody had lower speeds on average.

        I clearly can't speak for other regions, but I'm not aware of lower speeds on average like that. Would be interesting to see where people are averaging that.

        I cannot recommend it enough, if you are in the country like us and other satellite services or a dodgy fixed wireless connect are your only alternatives.

            I don't think you're getting the point of Starlink.

            It is not meant to be a replacement for FTTP/C/HFC like you seem to be thinking. If you have access to the NBN or a similar service, that's what you should go for. Cabled Internet is typically more consistent and reliable than a wireless solution.

            Starlink is for people who cannot get FTTP/C/HFC. If you live in an area where your only option is fixed wireless or SkyMuster at up to 25/5Mbps with quotas, Starlink is a huge breath of fresh air.

            So it's a dealbreaker for you because it was never meant to be for you.

        Yeah you can thank former Liberal government(s) for that.

        Outside of the CBD still plenty of people who can’t get NBN or limited to crappy NBN wireless or satellite.
        This is not targeted at people with Fibre or wired home internet connections.
        Why neg a deal, just because it’s not for you.

      any ping improvements to SEA from Melbourne ?

    • pongie on 12/02/2023 - 20:23

      With three separate NBN outages the last three days, I’m seriously considering this as an alternative. Street is on HFC and likely won’t get fibre anytime soon.

        No LTE backup where you live?

      • USER DC on 12/02/2023 - 21:05

        LoL so many people still wanted to stick to ADSL in past that's how $h!t NBN has been for so many Australians. Then again people couldn't upgrade to NBN for free either. People were forced to pay $300 installation/activation fees with NBN. Dont forget this. (Then again so much cost for getting NBN FTTH upgrade may be $8000+ easily for so many houses).

        Even though a lot of Australians can technically get upgrade for cheaper (by paying the higher tier speed plan from one of eligible providers to get upgrade for FrEe). Other technologies are just catching up so much faster than old NBN.

          Do you mean for newly-built homes? That was the case for ADSL too, which requires a phone line.

          • CereaL on 12/02/2023 - 23:39

            @eug: Some telco's offered this for free ..

            Belong was one of them.. didn't pay to get the home phone installed..

            • eug on 13/02/2023 - 00:09

              @CereaL: That was a deal by Belong and not the norm with other ISPs. Belong is owned by Telstra so you can imagine their actual costs would be far cheaper.

              When you say people couldn't upgrade to NBN for free, what do you mean?

    • USER DC on 12/02/2023 - 20:56

      it’s a fair deal both ways

      Considering their prices

      Probably not so fair most for the metro/capital area cities, with good 5G Home internet or NBN. One can easily churn NBN every 6 months for some discounted promo deal (ofcourse at lower speeds and lower price of NBN). Otherwise if one can get 5G home internet, should definitely stick to that over this Starlink. (Given the $400+ installation/hardware delivery cost)

      When talking about Regional area, it's probably more fairer both ways.

        Lmao rent free. It only sounds silly when you string a bunch of epithets together.

        • bigpoppa on 13/02/2023 - 06:40

          not silly if the epithets are rooted in facts

            @bigpoppa: LOL because I'm sure the megacorps whose products you've posted here are totally not evil…I mean just ask the happy workers of Foxconn, whose buildings have special nets installed to keep them from flinging themselves off the roof in fits of joy at having completed another 16 hour shift assembling Apple products.

            What a silly thing to say.

            • bigpoppa on 13/02/2023 - 10:54

              @The Judge: So seeing that one of Apple's CONTRACTED factories has human rights violation in a country with an oppressive regime, it's all gucci to support a proud human rights violator who does the exact same thing but in a country that has comparatively better rights to freedom as long as he label's it "hardcore"?

              How mighty hypocritical of you.

              • The Judge on 13/02/2023 - 11:13

                @bigpoppa: Just "one of" you say……if it's not the assembly plant, it's the component manufacturers, or hosting apps used to track political opponents of despots, or providing material support to oppressive regimes. So yeah, it is "all gucci" to not give a shit what Elon does when there are arguably & demonstrably worse companies out there. Maybe do your homework instead of getting news off Instagram.

              @eug: Building walls or human rights violations hmmm which one is evil hmmm so hard hmmm I guess walls are worse off than human rights in your books. at least you got your priorities straight I guess

They're all gucci but building walls is where you draw the line huh
