Starlink - Elon Musks Broadband satellite

[The Sultan]

Anyone hooked up to this. Was visiting my brother in east gippsland and hes on it, and get 200 plus MBPS download. Its just a small dish on the roof, but he said the less structures (trees/buildings) around you the better. Think he pays $150 odd a month which is overs for internet.

Screen shot of speed test i ran on my iPhone whilst hooked to wifi.

I have it. Yes it's expensive, but when you have limited options and the only other viable alternative is the more traditional form of satellite broadband, it's a godsend.

Before I was lucky to get 25-50 Mbps down (although still pretty good for middle of nowhere on satellite) on Skymuster NBN, with at least a >600 ms latency.

On Starlink, I get anywhere from 130-200 Mbps down and pings around 25-60ms.
