I have checked address
[NSW][VIC][SA][WA][TAS][QLD][ACT] I've tried all these addresses and only [NT] Northern Territory was not covered so this is basically Australia Wide.
QLD and WA only seems to cover some areas right now.
Elon Musk’s space venture - Starlink is now available for orders now!
Starlink is a satellite internet service providing high-speed, low latency broadband internet with speeds from 50Mb/s to 400Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms. Early users are reporting speeds of 300Mbps+.
I've been checking every month and its now out of preorder for 99% of Australian addresses
You will need to pay $809 for hardware ($709 satellite dish +$100 shipping) and a $139/month service fee.
This looks like an attractive option for those on NBN satellite. Also can be worthwhile to replace a slower NBN connection due to the exorbitant prices for a NBN FTTP upgrade.
Starlink is now out of beta, and max speeds have doubled from 150mbps to 250mbps+ for most reviewers I saw on Youtube
"As we launch more satellites, install more ground stations and improve our networking software, data speed, latency and uptime will improve dramatically."
As a point of reference, the best speeds I have seen on Youtube achieved on Starlink in Australia are
Download: 370 Mbps
Upload: 51.6 Mbps
Ping: 20 ms
Wow, Ping is 20ms, this is on par or faster than the overrated mobile 5G connection I have, 5G promised single-digit ping, which is all marketing BS.
Do we know if the hardware is the newer rectangular or square shape satellite dish?
