Personally I’ve gotten to the point of not trusting reviews because I think a lot of them are planted by rivals and people who have unrealistic expectations of the service, I was a computer engineer and have a good understanding of what Starlink can do compared to alternatives and for remote users it’s a game changer
Just Starlink’s non-iOS/ Android service seems to get so many, not-so-good reviews; the iOS etc service is well-rated. Any idea why?
As a remote user it is a game changer. Just did as speed test as I was typing 200 Mbps. That is faster than Verizon FIOS in my metropolitan area house [I could up it at a premium price that is much higher than Starlink]. Local LOS ISP is 10Mbps, and it is unreliable with constant interuptions if you are doing cell phone over WiFi [we don’t have cell connection here either.
And setup was an absolute breeze - connect the wire from the antenna to the router, and the wire from the router to the PS and the wire from the PS to the wall plug - all different and all only go in one way. Download the Starlink app on your phone. Look for the Starlink WiFi connection, connect to it. Then your Starlink app tells you everything else to do in an easy step by step - very clear - process. It takes 10 minutes. I could do it again in about 4 minutes.
And the router is a dream - very good line of site range and you can set up a simple mesh in your home buying extra mesh routers that are a lot cheaper than a lot of other companies.
Couldn’t be happier.
