Where I’m located is limited in options. I tried ATT and a local company with disappointing results. I was apprehensive to spend the money on starlink, but finally bit the bullet. Oh. My. This was night and day difference. I watch movies with little to no buffering and have been able to play online with friends without throwing my controller across the room. Setup is super simple and the app allows you to select a mounting point with ease.

After dealing with my phone company's internet, which was plagued by many outages and slow speeds, even when it said it wasn't, this is a terrific alternative for us rural users! I'm not a fan of Elon, but he wouldn't be any poorer if I didn't take advantage of this service, or any richer with me as a subscriber. I've had it for over a year with only a couple of outages (both worldwide). I only wish I had this when I was working at home during COVID. I had it working within a half hour of bringing it home, but it took a while for a permanent installation, as it took some attic and roof work.

Product is great, super easy setup and installation.
I was able to connect to the internet in <30 minutes. I now have much faster connection to the internet than was previously supplied by cable service.
NOW THE DOWNSIDE: Best Buy LIED and does NOT carry any of the Starlink accessories for 3rd Gen devices. I was told by the online sales rep that I could order the 45m cable and pole mount for the satellite. When I asked them to confirm twice, they said YES. However the system came with the 15m cable and standard mount. VERY angry that I am not able to mount the device on a pole or at the location where there is no interference.

Get it!! We have tried a few option (very limited where we live), and this has been the absolute best. We have had it a few months now and have not lost service once. We have multiple devices connected and no issues. I work from home occasionally, we stream live tv and no buffering. This is the absolute best internet you can get. Set up is simple and has very easy and clear instructions.

It's a really reliable product, would recommend highly. I live out in the middle of nowhere and can't get any internet providers to provide out where I'm at, starlink gives you great high speed Internet and I'm able to use all my devices.

I prefer to buy stuff like this from Best Buy because their inhouse warranty is better then manufacturer. Sure it's cost more but it covers surges and more. This thing is way faster then my weak DSL and no fiber where I live. Go online to buy mount after you purchase this.

Very close to plug and play. Works absolutely great. We were in other options were miserable - Hughes Net, Verizon JetPak.
No buffering, just wonderful!

I live in a rural area that doesn’t offer any internet service. When the T-mobile wireless came out I called T-Mobile and they said it would work great. It was worse than my phone hot spot. Then I got Hughes because they we going on about their service and their new satellite. Hughes net was worse then T-Mobile. I finally broke down and boost Starlink. Absolute game changer. Upload and download speeds are amazing. Even online gaming is awesome. If you run a network cable to the router it’s even better but even using it wirelessly across multiple devices is superb.

Works perfectly In rural areas. Only issue was I couldn’t get my blink security cameras to connect even though I tried everything everyone recommended. Arlo works fine though.
Extremely fast Best Buy service and internet spee.

I purchased the Starlink 3 from my local Best Buy and it was available to pick up within a couple of hours. The Starlink was easy to install and provides lightning fast speeds.

The hardware itself is easy to install and set up and the app is much better with the updates over the past few months. Unfortunately, you have to have a very clear opening of the sky to have continuous connectivity; pretty much an open field about 1 acre in size by my guess. The wifi range is impressive for the 2.4 GHz band. Speeds for both bands was good. The hardware failed me after about 10 months of use. In the process of making a claim on the 24-month hardware warranty.

Best purchase I've made so far. The item came packaged well without any damages to the satellite and the internet speed is amazing. If you’re thinking about it definitely buy it today!

We live in the middle of nowhere, have no good internet access, decided to try starlink and have been pretty impressed. It has been very reliable and fast. Was able to cancel T-Mobile internet which was super unreliable and SLOW, Starlink has been a tremendous improvement.

I live out in the middle of nowhere and have been trying to find internet that would work where I live. Starlink was the best purchase I have made all year long! Havent had not 1 single issue with it and it was super easy to set up!

The starlink satellite setup is great an easy to setup. Within 30 minutes i had internet. Wish the price wasnt go high for the monthly fees. But for someone that does not have access to any internet. It is far above my expectations for internet. My kids can play their games online. Truly only time we lost internet is when we had tornado in area. And that wasnt very long either. If thinking bout getting it dont wait. Its worth it in my household. Waited a year to buy it cause of the cost and uncertainty of satellite internet.

Fired up right away, easy to activate, works better than the previous model I was replacing in terms of "events" like brief outages of a few seconds. Old one used to have many per day; this one has had only a few in the 3 weeks it's been up. Be aware though, when you set it up you only have one hour of internet in which to get the activation completed.
