Starlink Reviews

I’m an IT admin and I’m floored. I came to set this satellite service up for a family who lives a rural, desert location and I expected it to be a slight improvement over their existing satellite internet provider who I CONSTANTLY heard complaints about but I couldn’t do anything (I’m not an ISP and the cable and phone companies won’t drop service here). They finally got into this this app program and now I want it! The transparency, simplicity, and the SERVICE are GREAT! This should be what the other ISP’s are copying because I want visibility to know when my home’s last network outage occurred and the duration. Instead of guessing network speeds, they provide the testing tools right instead Starlink . It’s great!

Since I am an IT Admin, I will say that I wish there were some MORE router configuration options available (like guest wireless, child safety tools, etc.) but NONE of that is a priority over the current tools that this app has provided here. Those are only things that could bog services and hardware down over time, so I’ll gladly take this setup and hope that they keep their foot on the pedal to become the next big ISP!

Elon Musk you have truly made the world happy I know for one thing that you have given me actual hope of having good internet. Relying off of phone lines for internet and only getting downloads speeds of 1-3mbps if even that on one device is truly and disappointment and seeing how the fiber optic internet situation we are having in my are with them going down half my road and stoping and coming from the other side of my road only the the edge causes some serious lag. For example, call of duty games have always been my favorite and now that internet requires faster speeds to function anymore has caused me to ultimately slow down on gaming almost to where I never wanna play anymore. And this app has given me enough hope to rekindle my love for gaming. With this I also plan to build my first Pc and join a new community of gamers after being an xbox fan for so long. Thank you and please never stop innovating you are truly the best man on earth with a wonderful purpose in life.

I have yet to get my kit but I have friends who have just received theirs. I just have to say that we are incredibly grateful for this service. My friends have been blown away by the speed and consistency that they are able to receive using this app in our small community. With Covid-19 the need for reliable internet skyrocketed and our community, which still does not have cell phone coverage over approximately half of it and has had the equivalent to dial up internet over the majority is waiting with great anticipation to test out and use this new service. Which is less expensive than the other satellite service we currently have and is unlimited verses the 10 gb limit of our current satellite. Needless to say we are appreciative and grateful for this app!

When the this app Router is connected, Starlink will let you control a few things. Considering it is all in Beta testing, I really didn’t expect full control yet. But if you have and or need to use a third party router, Starlink thinks the Dishy is not connected and up and running. Horse Hockey. Some people can play with the settings and get it to work with their personal third-party routers, but it should not be necessary to do that at all. Starlink should see that it’s connected to the this app satellite dish and show you all the appropriate information since it’s coming from the dish itself and not the router. So that is a bad this app. If and when they ever fix that issue, Starlink will be rated five stars. Until then I had to give them three, but I was actually looking at two Stars.

This probably isn’t fair because I just ordered the system but the addressing system is not right. It uses preselected service addresses and doesn’t allow corrections. The default shipping address allows for the correct address but you have to tell the system that you know it is correct. So my service address ends up being in a totally different county at a post office that doesn’t service my area. Hopefully that isn’t where the bill goes, I’ll never get it. Anyhow there’s no way to correct the service address in the system that I’ve found. This really does need looked into. Thanks. I’m sure I’ll give a better review once the equipment arrives. I’m very impatient. LOL...

Can’t get Comcast, hate Hughesnet, dsl was horrible service.
I have a Verizon mobile hotspot, its signal gets distributed thru a Mac mini, that shares its wireless to Ethernet, which I have 3 wireless devices hooked to. I have 5 high definition cams hooked to it. Slow as $&@/ but it does work.
Cannot wait for real internet access.

5 stars when I get the service.

We are in desperate need and still waiting for our system to arrive. We have heard so many great things about this app but are disappointed we can’t even figure out where we are in the que to receive our equipment. It would be nice to at least have some information on arrival. With beta testing ending soon - hopefully this type of information will become more readily available to those in need. Can’t wait to get it!!!!! Thank you for the mission you are on to help those of us who are in need.

First, I love Starlink . They have simply step up their game on this one. Very sexy and I believe it needs minor tweaks, but don’t go overboard it works and looks great!!! Thank you this app!

Second, the internet is smoking hot, I bet when they are done adjusting it and finish aligning the satellites I bet, it will be very close to cable internet. My speeds now are amazing than what I had from the very crappy Hughes net and Viasat. OMG, it is like night and day difference. Thank you Elon for looking out for the World and our pursuit to have fast and reliable internet!

We are both seniors living on a small rescue farm in rural Florida. I have been fighting Cancer and other major health issues. I’m close to 80 and my wife is the most wonderful caregiver a person could hope for, but she has major health issues also. We have 6 mbps internet on a good day making communication with doctors and hospital facilities difficult. We are looking forward to the day our this app package arrives. I ordered 4/21. Keep up the great work Elon. We are behind you in all your efforts. Thank You so much.

this app has come along way, good things come to those who wait. Till then shut up and take my money 🤣 I’m looking forward to getting the kit to install and use. This is a much welcomed change to our technology...Looking forward to using this for work and for our meetings. As one of Jehovah’s Witness, I’m looking forward to using this technology in rural and in internet dead zones. Hopefully by getting on this and funding it now will help get this app up and running so everyone on the planet will have access to the internet.

I hate to sound like I’m begging, but being able to beta test this app would make the rest of my semester. Stuck to relying on the phone lines for internet in an area under the beta test coverage. 2mbps split across all the devices in a modern home with work and remote learning. It’s not possible. Now we have none because the provider doesn’t prioritize us as a customer and will never expand us to broadband and has told the state as such. As soon as it’s available you’ll have loyal customers.

I can’t wait to tell windstream to shove there 50mbs b.s. internet that has never seen that speed or come close to it. And can barely get down to 40ms into whatever they put modems in when people cancel. They are changing their name to kinetic b/c they have destroyed their current name with terrible service. Woo!!! I love the pace of SpaceX and so happy to see real change in the internet market. This is truly one giant leap. Especially for the rural families. I can finally live outside city limits and still work!!!

Recently widowed, 74yo, fixed income and dependent on the internet for a large part of my income. Like so many others, I’ve been ground up and spit out by the few rural providers available to me. Slow speed and being charged average of $275 a month by ATT for data I don’t use. I can’t afford to pay that much for something I’m not getting. Elon Musk, you are an amazing man and you hold the world in thrall. I’m watching my mailbox and desperately hoping my kit comes soon.

We live in a rural part of Wisconsin where literally the phone company can’t provide internet. Even the worst. Only option is low grade hotspot

Due to covid, my two sons have to try and learn from school. Having to learn while physically isolated through machines is not good, with poor internet it is cruel. Like duck hunting through a chimney.

They found out about this app. We literally have been praying for it to get off the ground (pun intended) and be picked for beta.

this app’s service is amazing and everyone should give it a try! The speed and latency are unmatched by any other satellite internet company. Starlink is also very helpful in finding the right place to put the receiver and set up the materials. The only potential problem I see is that they don’t have a support number to call and talk to a human, but I foresee them updating this in the future. Not all of us are equal in our technological abilities.

I, like many of you will continue to support any and all endeavors it takes to continue humanitarian efforts into the future. I will financially support this company and it’s future as much as I am able. Anything to have another option other than Comcast. I am signed up for the early beta testing program! Hoping to be chosen soon!!

Falls very short of the goal it has. It constantly crashes and cuts out even though I have it in the best possible spot for connection. I’m the only one that uses it too. The weather is not bad either. I hope it continues to improve because in its current state very disappointing.
After 2+ months of use I can say firmly not worth the money if you have any other providers. It’s high starting price and inconsistent coverage makes it almost unbearable. Really struggles to make up for that $600+ starting fee.

This will dynamically change the way people live in the world because people will be able to access full spectrum broadband from anywhere in the world along with a solar panel this puts you in business anywhere in the jungle or on top of the mountains I look forward so much to using this and hope to work forSpaceX and specifically this app one day...

For just Starlink , this is pretty great. Just getting stats for the connection was a vast improvement vs my other ISP. So much easier to self diagnose issues now. Especially with the new screen not just showing that you have an obstruction but showing the direction of that obstruction. If it is this good now, super excited for the next iterations.

I live in the middle of nowhere northern Idaho and internet has been a long term challenge... this thing took 3 minutes to set up, literally, and while we will see what coverage looks like around the clock, right now it just clocked off at 64 up / 16 down with 35ms lag. Wow. Impressed and the network is still being built. Well done guys.

nuff sed

Is it wrong to preload Starlink ? Can’t wait to finally be off of dialup and be able to watch all the funny clips people send through emails!

Whatever Elon makes, whether its Teslas, Starships, Falcons, Tunnels, Neuralinks, or Tunnels, they are always the best!!!

Once this battlestatio- I mean, satellite system is fully operational, even those of us in the middle of nowhere can have fast, reliable internet!

It’s Amazing Wi-Fi ……🚀🚀🚀

Don’t believe me? Just wait.

(No I don’t have one but Starlink is noice 😎)
