Starlink - Anyone get it yet?

I think the difference is that once your 12 month contract is up on the €50/m plan you then own the hardware. On the €35/m plan Starlink own the hardware and you need to return it when you cancel.

@AirBiscuit I was downloading from steam at 38-45MByte/s. Absolutely unprecedented imo. I was on vodafone lucky to hit 2.5mbyte/s. And they were throttling my upload to 1-2mbit/s for 20eur pm. even webpages were laggy to load.

I should have moved to starlink from gen1.

I didnt know mini was that fast it looks the same as regular kit. Thanks for the graph.

That could be a bolt for bolting directly into concrete. No plug required. That one seems a bit "course" the odd time I've used them the thread was thinner so it could deform a bit and they don't normally have a point on the end. So possibly a different bolt to the one described in the instructions

I'd go with whatever you are used to using. No reason you could not drill a bigger hole and use a suitable size plug.

The concrete bolts I've used look like this

so guess you have the wrong bolts. What you have are probably just coach bolts more for wood than concrete unless you use plugs.

Anyone noticing higher packet loss the past week or so? Around peak times there's stretches of a couple minutes where it sits at about 5% when gaming. Game telemetry is showing it but I forgot to check if the app was registering it, must check tonight. It spiked up to 40% for a minute last night as well, hadn't seen that before. Also saw 80ms to a server in Dublin, routing is even more buggered for some servers in Ireland. I have a feeling that that new ground station in Killala isn't live yet.

Haven't noticed issues with streaming or sites myself but packet loss could be behind it. I did get a couple firmware updates / reboots during the night but doesn't seem to have changed much.
EDIT: Just checked, the app doesn't show any packet loss but its bouncing between 0 and 5% to UK servers in CS2.

I'm considering getting Starlink for at home.

Currently with Eir but we have nothing but problems. They fix something only for another issue to arise a few weeks later. We're currently on day 5 without internet, waiting on an engineer visit so sick of them at this stage. We average about 35mbps which is fine when it works.

Main usage would be IPTV and Xbox. Some searches online say both can be a bit buffery/laggy on starlink and others say it's perfectly fine.

Anybody here have issues with IPTV or gaming or am I safe enough to order?

We have Starlink as well. And find it great. I don't play online games but we can watch Netflix and other people can use the internet or watch YouTube videos without causing issues for the other people also streaming at the same time.

But saying that we will be moving to fibre once it arrives in our area in Autumn or towards the end of the year.

I picked it up as there are four of them using it at the same time without issue

That makes more sense 🤣
