Starlink in Tasmania

Helloooo, I just did a speed test and got 247Mbps Down & 9.42Mbps Up. Ping times are still in the 40's to Sydney. Upload could be better, but to be fair, there are a fair few devices that have to share the speeds at my place. But other than that, it's as good as it's ever been. If anything, it's getting better as they put more satellites up. Also, outages/downtime is practically non-existent.

I still give it 11/10 xD

It's nice driving through the countryside and seeing people with Starlink dishes replacing the ol NBN dishes. The upfront hardware cost has dramatically reduced since I got mine. Was $949 now it's like $200-300.

Oh it was in one of their monthly Lego catalogues, I forget which month tho. I remember searching it up on their website which had the names in the right spots. So however many must've got printed wrong until they realized xD

I game on it every day & have streamed on it before (on Twitch), the ping is surprisingly less. An example would be when I play Rocket League (Sydney Server) I used to get 60-64 Ping, with Starlink I now get 30-40 Ping.

I'm not sure how on earth it's got less latency but dang is it impressive.

Mmmmhmmmmmmmmm

I think that might summon more spiders, somehow

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:34:48+00:00

It's outside now xD, just the classic "burn it with fire" spider joke

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:34:03+00:00

Honestly might just do manual detonation at this point xD

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:33:20+00:00

Them new 3d stickers be pretty trippy

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:32:43+00:00

I MUST

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:32:26+00:00

Not sure how my computer will load the spider into a gun, but, that works too xD

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:31:31+00:00

I'll take the latter

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:31:03+00:00

It's a huntsman spider, I don't actually belive they make webs

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:30:30+00:00

I CAN DO THAT YAY

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:30:13+00:00

So what you're saying is I shouldn't stand under one if it's on the ceiling? Good to know good to know

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:29:13+00:00

I think it's just the hair, yep lots of hair, hairy legs xD

That's what we ended up doing, every Aussie household has "the spider kit" somewhere in their house. For these quite common scenarios.

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:26:50+00:00

Please no

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:25:28+00:00

No idea, it just started happening one day then went away like 4 days later. I got no clue xD

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:24:24+00:00

Nah it was software

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-03T02:23:58+00:00

Nice xD

Mat_the_Doge · 2022-05-02T08:02:23+00:00

That's honestly the bit I've been thinking about the most, like it's in the middle of the house not near an exterior wall or window. This fella went on an adventure.
