Like the mini, the Generation 3 Standard Starlink Kit is on Sale via Starlink (at the moment). Highly likely that being Starlink have done the Sale, all retailers like JB, Harvey Norman, Officeworks and Bunnings will most likely lower their prices (usually within 24 hours).

This is more suited for homes and businesses with fixed locations. Depending on your use case, it can also be used for roaming. I have a Gen 3 mounted to the Roof of my Ute.

Speed Tests of Standard Kit can be found here including Latency.

Looks like it is for Regional Areas only. Tried a few Metro and no discount applied.

Referral Links

Referral: random (94)

The referrer and referee receives bonus credit for a month of standard service, 30 days after the referee activates and keeps their Starlink. Referrals will only issue credits to Standard Plan (Residential) and Mobile Regional (Roam) subscriptions. Kits purchased from a retailer or reseller are not eligible for the referral program. No credit will be given even if a referral link was used during activation.

      Have you used starlink? Can you provide the comparison and pain points?

        yes and you cant' get 1gbps speeds like I can on my FTTP link.

            @geekcohen: I'm not sure I believe it. wouldn't there be a limitation on bandwidth?

            read the article seems possible but still seems like they need to pass a bunch of hurdles first.

              Yes, lots of things to do and hurdles, but not impossible.

              wouldn't there be a limitation on bandwidth

              More on probably Satelittes, so maybe some hardware upgrades required plus then bringing them into lower orbit.

              @Kirbieb: If you told me 5 years ago that you can get ~300mbps on Satellite with reasonably low pings, I'd have said the same thing you are saying.

                @loksmack: Yeah I've tried starlink and i actually liked it, but I still think FTTP is better is almost every way it's just it was bungled when it was first introduced, and we are still playing catch up.

        If you can get FTTP do that. If you are on literally any other connection type then Starlink wins. 200mbps download speeds pretty damn consistantly. Can experience issues in extremely heay weather

      Of course. Starlink isn't designed or made for those who access to Fibre. Its more for those on NBN FW/Satelitte in regional areas. It isn't really designed for Metro.

                  @Twix: Try opticomm fibre for a month and compare it to NBN fibre and u will see how much better it runs I have never had down time ever it just works never had a bandwidth issue it just works. Never drops in speed ever it just works. Better yet it’s not owned and installed by NBN Co!!

                    I have never had down time ever it just works never had a bandwidth issue it just works. Never drops in speed ever it just works.

                    I can say the exact same thing about my nbn FTTP connection.

                    Better yet it’s not owned and installed by NBN Co!!

                    Why does that matter?

                      @Twix: o I forgot. ALL opiticomm is FTTP there is nothing but FTTP unlike NBN. In terms of performance, Opticomm is (on paper) usually a better option. It should be faster than FTTN, FTTB, and FTTC connections. As for HFC, Opticomm's full-fibre technology is technically more capable, but real-world performance might be similar for some locations.

                        @kungfuman: That is not nbn's fault. nbn was doing FTTP to 93% of AU until Abbott and Turnbull thought they could do it cheaper.

                        Now nbn are rebuilding most of the network twice with more FTTP and enabling HFC to do 2000/100. That is at least 7.7 million homes that can get connected to nbn FTTP by December 2025.

                        I can't find any more recent data but in 2022 there was only 560,000 homes connected to OptiComm FTTP.

                        OptiComm FTTP is not more technically capable. nbn and OptiComm are both using XGS-PON for FTTP.

        a fixed line system that pretty much no one in the country has access to

        About 20% of Australians have access to FttP NBN connections. Or did you mean "in the country" as a phrase to mean "in a rural area"?

        I agree they're not intended to compete directly, but given the enormous mess the NBN ended up in (thanks Abbott you useless prick!) under certain circumstances people may actually end up cross-shopping.

        • Twix on 05/12/2024 - 10:34
          +3

          From my quick napkin math it's more like 36%. FTTP 25% and the 1.4 million still on FTTC that can swap to FTTP so + 11% = 36%.

          Most of FTTN will be able to swap to FTTP by December 2025 so + about 29%.

          About 65% total or at least 7.7 million homes that can get connected to nbn FTTP by December 2025.

          About 600k FTTN homes without a FTTP date + new homes with FTTP so it might end up at 70% total.

          +3

          Yep agreed, though it would be good for FTTN users to establish that it's the line itself that is the problem and not the ISP or their hardware (bad wifi range for example). In the regional area that I live in, many people blindly recommend Starlink to FTTN users which may not be necessary and ends up costing them more, and potentially clogs up Starlink bandwidth for people who don't have a wired connection option.

            @loksmack: 100%. I got bad FTTN. 700m from the Node, 60/30 on a 100/40 plan. Moved from one town over where I was 500m from the node and had 100/40 no problem.

            In the regional area that I live in, many people blindly recommend Starlink to FTTN users which may not be necessary and ends up costing them more, and potentially clogs up Starlink bandwidth for people who don't have a wired connection option.

            Could be why in South East QLD, Starlink is "sold out". Too many people probably doing this.
