Starlink

I thought Starlink was Elons?

It is.

I think he meant Jeff Bezo's Kuiper system.

But would you buy something like that from a man named Jeffrey?

You are correct

Last week we camped for 4 nights at a van park to be nearby our son, his partner and their newborn (premy) daughter. In between doing grandee duties, I did some work using the Starlink. One day was 6 hours of teams meetings and another night was the state of origin game 2 (Queensland won making it 1 all). Starlink mini was just attached to our van roof pointing vaguely towards the south. Full speed service (210 download) and not a single drop out. Our EcoFlow river 2 runs it for about 6 hours although I had access to site power for my laptop. My first taste of being a grey grandee digital nomad (GGDM)!

STARLINK (Satellite Internet and WIFI) -- How I Done It --


Starlink is starting to get more popular with the Camper and Caravan community, so i thought id take a Look.

we first saw this setup a while back on @Eli awesome waggon, he needed it to get access to the internet to work remotly while traveling Europe weeks at a time.

Then we saw @Mick with one, again used for Internet access when far and wide, plus also traveling over to Europe.

Then we see @Jollyvan joining the gang - mostly to ensure he could watch the F1 GP races on Telly.

You'll be needing that extra 230Ah!
Just slip me the password at Camperjam next year and you can have a whole lemon drizzle cake to yourself!

Just had a TOS update from Starlink this morning - a new standby mode with unlimited low-speed data at £4.50 per month...

 

[Qnapper]

At the end of the day Starlink can do what they want with customers and they/he will only demand more money. We have used ours all over EU without problems and its still cheaper than buying a data sim card in each country we visit for now. If amazom sort out their new system we might end up with a bidding war, which will be good for us I hope.

I've googled it without success so can anyone tell us what 'low-speed data' actually means (ie. how slow is slow in musk speak?).

 

[Sasquatch]

About 0.5 MB/S, allegedly.

 

[Ayjay]

So slow slow - that said, I guess it wouldn't make any commercial sense for it to be quicker!

I miss my old modem dial-up noises!!!
