While getting past the initial sullen feelings regarding ownership of the company, I took a leap of faith and gave this a shot with the intention of running this as our primary internet service for a campground with literally zero cellular coverage in the middle of nowhere, Vermont. Two people worked full-time with multiple zoom calls, while accessing systems and email remotely. This thing hit +400mbps at its max and easily stayed stable around 300mbps even with overcast and daily rain showers. I am now a believer! We just got the roof rack frame and will be trying out roaming down the highway. Fingers crossed, we will be pleasantly surprised again! Would recommend over and over and over again to friends and family.

Absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone who lives in a rural remote area where there is maybe only 1 other carrier!! It’s been amazing a life saver truly, it was easy to install and get going I done it all by myself and I am not a very technically inclined savvy person, so for me to be able to install it myself was a great achievement, but it’s truly super easy to use and it’s great super fast speed not one complaint yet and I’ve had it close to a month now!

The best internet for rural areas
We live in rural area of the mountains in central California and were forced to pay $100 a month for 25 mbps internet for just about the same price we get an average of 275 mbps with starlink with 4 kids and a wife that stays on her phone i dont have to worry about a lagging connection

I love this! I have more location options for working while traveling in my RV. I can now stay in places where there is no internet or cellular service because I can use the Starlink. It was easy to set up on the app and easy to start a service plan. I got the roam plan and I love it! I will include a picture of my speedtest results from my last campsite.I could work, stream movies at night, and have peace of mind because I could make calls with my cell phone connected, too.

Starlink has been a game changer. Two hours from civilization in the middle of the national forest I was getting 250+ Mbps down and speeds between 15-30 Mbps up. I was able to do everything just as if I was at home including crystal clear calls and connectivity as long as I had a clear view of the northern sky. These speeds were on the Roam Plan that does say speeds may be throttled. I was also able to mount the receiver flat on the top of my SUV giving excellent connectivity even when in motion.
If trees or other obstructions block your view of the north your experience may be seriously degraded.

Purchased the Starlink system for a permanent solution at home. This system is utilized as an automatic back-up during any local outages in internet service. System was easy to install and set-up and has been working flawlessly since day #1. Highly recommended if you have a clear view of the sky and are seeking reliable service.

If you are a mobile person and need high speed internet anywhere, this is IT! The price for service is a little steep but I live in an RV and this thing rocks! I have been getting unreal speeds, better than cable! Point it at the sky and your are on your way!
Having the ability to access unlimited high speed internet anywhere is the best! Simple set-up and the app is very useful. There is a router included so you have everything in one box. Hook it up and GO!

Fantastic technology! We live in a very rural part of south central TN. Hughes Net was horrible and we lived with daily signal drops, and being throttled back and… we’re not high bandwidth (gamers) users. We couldn’t use our Verizon cells either. Starling was straightforward and easy to install. We have trees and a big barn so I ended up mounting my satellite on the eave of our house. Zero obstructions, zero drops and great throughput. We can even use our cell phones now. I wish we’d had gotten Starlink 3yrs ago. We’ll be taking with us on vacays motoring around the states in our motorhome. Yes! We highly recommend and endorse Starlink, especially if you’re rural and travel frequently. We’re considering 2-3 more Gen 3 routes or establishing a Mesh Network for extended connectivity to our barn.

Exactly what I needed for a customer. It works great, and they couldn’t be happier. If you are unable to get a traditional (hard lined) internet connection. This is the way to go.

Had tmobile internet before this. Their speeds were so bad in my area even with waveform anntennas only got 40mbps at best. Also, tried the newest Via Sat that did give a top speedtest with Via Sat unleashed plan of 140mbs. However, Via Sat wanted $135 a mobth before taxes (with needing to rent their modem). Starlink is $120 and speeds are INSANE (to me)! Download is 350 mbps and upload is 28.1 (ping is around 20). I would never had thought I would have these speeds at my house. It is good amount of money upfront. However, you will be happy you may the choice once it is up and running. It did take me a little longer to setup cause my system had multiple updates and needed to reboot several times. Working great now though and is super consistent.

I think StarLink uis fantastic! I downloaded the app and pointed my cell to the sky, and my whole screen was blue for service excellant!!! I was unable to get a provider for Cable, Internet and Wi-Fi in my rural area! I would suggest StarLink as the way to go!! Also make sure you have enough feet of cable to reach your house which I had to order separately It is very weather friendly in that it stays warm to keep the snow off as I live in the Adirondacks of Upstate in New York.

I picked this up at the Bowling Green Ky store.
I bought online with instore pickup.
All went great and the system works awesome for anyone with a clear view of the north sky. Download speeds here in central Tn are 150 to 200 mbps and upload somewhere around 30. I built my own mount but could have ordered one. Installation was easy. We replaced frontier internet with this. We should have done this a long time ago.

Quick fulfillment and foolproof setup. I wish we wouldn’t have waited so long to switch. Comes with everything you need to get started. We did opt for a separate mount, but it isn’t absolutely necessary to get internet. Five stars for ease. Ten stars for reliability.

The Starlink service is fantastic and consistent. Love that I can pause the mobile service when not planning to use it. Setup procedure was not as straightforward as expected as it’s less than intuitive in my opinion, but it worked out fine. Wish it was not $500 for the equipment, but it is high quality for sure.

My family and I live in the sticks on little over 12 acres of land. And this is such a necessary purchase. The ISPs around us are very very limited and the price to performance they offer is awful such a waste of money, not to mention the price is terribly expensive. This StarLink kit has been such a great blessing for us. We get a consistent signal across our property even though the thick tree lines and deep brush. Highly highly recommend it to anyone out in the sticks.
