In America, with the start of the first batch of experiments to broadcast the satellite Internet via the Starlink network from SpaceX, many users began to share pictures of the equipment that they received during the trial period in addition to the initial results of the Internet speed tests via the satellite network consisting of 900 satellites so far And indeed, Starlink Beta users have begun to share their experiences about the service, all confirming that the new service provides unexpected broadband speeds from the Internet even in remote areas, one of the users who, by the way, will convey his experience in detail through this article and is called Wandering-coder on Reddit platform, he brought Starlink equipment and a portable power supply to a national forest in Idaho, USA, which is a remote area that does not support local mobile networks in the area, such as T-Mobile and US Cellular, where during the experiment the message "No Coverage" appearsAs he put it, he installed SpiceX's communication devices and was amazed at the speed of the Internet connection, which reached 120 Mbps, and he tweeted: "starlink is working fine, I did a live video call and some other tests and did not get any problem." Call disconnection or fluctuation, even my power supply is 300 watts maximum and only about 116 watts drained during activity, Starlink has succeeded in that in a place that does not support cellular networks.
Wandering-coder used the Starlink connection in the woods to create this post on Reddit, uploaded a series of photos of his experience through the Imgur platform, placed the user's dish for the service on an empty space in a relatively open part of the forest, and tested the internet speed that had reached a normal 120 Mbps As mentioned, the download indicator reached a rate of 12 megabits per second with a latency of 37 milliseconds, which I believe is the worst results obtained due to the fact that the place is surrounded by more dense forests and it is known that Starlink needs a clear line of sight for the SpaceX satellites, and he wrote: "It didn't work out well with dense trees directly in the line of sight of the dish, where I was only connected for 5 seconds and every time I had to reconnect this clear view of the sky as necessary as possible to contact Starlink without any problems."
Wandering-coder writes: "Everything is made of high quality, which is much better than I ever imagined, and because the cell phone costs me up to $ 1000 every month, I am totally amazed that I have a device with these features for 500." Roughly a dollar, so I am positively biased towards this service. ''And, it is worth noting, and as revealed in foreign reports, the cost of the trial version of the Starlink service is about $ 99 per month in addition to an additional $ 499 in equipment costs for the service, and at home, Wandering-coder says that he got download speeds of 135 Mbps Per second, and 25 Mbps downloads, when the dish was directed at a location that fits the service coordinates, and he also wrote that he tested the service in inappropriate conditions of bad weather and inappropriate location, and even in this scenario the download speed reached 46 Mbps. With a download speed of 15Mbps, and a latency of 41Mbps.
And he added, "Given all the barriers to this connection at the moment, I am amazed at how successful it is. Live broadcasts, video conferencing and games were all well available in the beta version of Starlink, and I am very excited to try the original version of the service."
