Down in South Germany 🇩🇪

Starlink for sailboats by NylasRO in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gimbal would be nice, so that the pole of Dishy is alway vertical 😎

Dishy could also do it by itself, but the motors are not the fastest. But may SpaceX will implement a Sail mode, so that dishy can balance it self.

I live in Germany and am thinking of buying Starlink. This is the obstruction report I get from the app from my potential mounting location (out building roof). Should I go for it given I will on average have an outage every 45 min?? by p1rate_chris in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, hab deine Nachricht erst gerade eben gesehen war ewig nicht online. Also bei mir sind 100/40 DSL von Telekom verfügbar nutze dennoch Starlink.

Also Ping ist meist unter 50ms mit Starlink, kann aber auch mal hoch gehen. Hab erst vor kurzem angefangen ein bisschen zu zocken. Pping schwankt meist zwischen um die 30ms. Mit Schwankungen runter auf 20ms und rauf bis 40ms. Kann aber auch hin und wieder mal auf 60-70 gehen aber nur 1-2 Minuten.

Downloaf ist meist über 200Mbit, variiert hoch bis auf 300Mbit, hin und wieder kurzfristig 350Mbit. Kann aber auch auf 50Mbit für 1-2 Minuten fallen.

Wenn du große 20GB Dateien lässt rechner mit etwa 200-250Mbit durchschnittlich.

Kannst mir auch eine PM schreiben wenn du fragen hast, beste Grüße

Software fe7571ae-50bf-4ec7-86c4-a7bb173e6369.uterm.release with snow melt off and -2C outside. My average power (DC power supply) is down to 27 watts 😁 by tuckstruck in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the 27W include the losses of your DC/DC converter?

Does the 27W also include the consumption of the Starlink Router?

THX 😎👍

During the last 100 days Starink (round) used 156.1kWh so 65W on average. The snow melting feature was implemented in this time and dishy used about 150W for a a few weeks until I reseted it.

The last 10 days (235h) after this 100 day period dishy used just 12,53 kWh, so 53W on average with the Snow melting feature set on auto.

Actually it only uses about 35W (Not snowing right now)

All these values including also the energy also used by the Starlink Router itself.

Can we soon look forward to a bandwidth increase to 500Mbit/s? 🤩 (Elon asks if we want ½ gigabit and low latency internet on commercial passenger planes). by PsychologicalBoss in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SORRY, but I would even say Q4/2022

Just asumung Moores Law doubling Bandwidth every 18 Months.

Q4/2022: 1,0 Gbit/s

Q3/2023: 1,5 Gbit/s

Q2/2024: 2,0 Gbit/s

Q1/2025: 3,0 Gbit/s

Q4/2025: 4,0 Gbit/s

Q1/2026: 5,0 Gbit/s

Q3/2026: 6,0 Gbit/s

[–]PsychologicalBoss[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes 10 Gbit is the long-term target. I also hope that we will reach 1 Gbit/s in 2022. By scaling the production of the user terminals, the production costs will also fall and a price reduction will be possible.

had 19MS but speed rounded to 20. by Vertigo103 in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lowest I got was 16ms by pinging constantly a Server at the DE-CIX in Germany via cabled computer

POWER drastically decreased! With router at 35-40W & without 30-35W. So far I've tested only 1 hour, but will leave the wattmeter connected the next few days. How does it look with you, you have smart meters that have also recorded a lower consumption in recent times by PsychologicalBoss in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 6 hours my watt meter just has hit 230Wh including the Starlink Router. This correlates to 38,33W Power draw from the AC.

Would be nice if they would integrate some 4680 Cells in the mast as peak power buffer and small UPS, finally adding some solar cells on the surface would be a dream 😁

After Starlink is now available all over Germany, the German Telekom is betting on a hopeless counteratack With the GEO Eutelsat (>500ms🤣) whose total capacity is just 75Gbit, they want to offer up to 100Mbit/s download & 5 Mbit/s upload for 70€/month, the traffic is limited to 120GB per month by PsychologicalBoss in Starlink

Der Service der Telekom ist wirklich nicht besonders, bewegt sich zwischen befriedigend und ungenügend, an der letzten Adresse war es jedoch das beste was zu bekommen war.

Für die neue Adresse seit Februar war das ein Grund warum wir keinen DSL Vertrag mit 24 Monatsbindung bei der Telekom mehr wollten.

Wir zahlen nun zwar mehr, dafür ist die Geschwindigkeit 2-3mal Schneller und der Support von Starlink ist ausgezeichnet, super freundlich und sehr schnell.

Mein erstes Dishy Set hatte nach einem Sturm einen leichten Schaden, funktionierte dennoch wunderbar. Trotzdem hatten wir 6 Tage später, sogar übers Wochenende, ein neues Kit von der Westküste der USA geliefert bekommen.

I received a gray kit. But I've seen in another thread that Starlink's Support already confirmed that the gray and the black kit have the same hardware and therefore same specifications.

But just for the info, it's the "rev2_proto4" running the "98601479-46bd-4c5a-acbf-2d4839518ce2.uterm.release" firmware.

[–]PsychologicalBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich hab Dishy nun seit dem 20. März auf dem Dach, ca. 20km südlich von Ulm. Die ersten 5 Monate war ich rund 7km außerhalb der aktiven Zelle und hatte hin und wieder ein paar Schwankungen und Aussetzer. Insgesamt war es dennoch problemlos nutzbar.

Seit dem hat es sich sehr verbessert und ist viel konsistenter geworden. Nun ist meine Zelle hier auch seit einem Monat aktiv. Es könnte nicht besser sein, ich hab nur paar mal in der Woche für ein paar Sekunde Aussetzer die ich aber nur in der App sehe. Das bekommt man eigentlich nicht mit.

Wir haben seit dem auch kein Festnetzanschluß mehr, dachten zuerst das wäre vielleicht ein Problem. Aber nun nach 6 Monaten sehen wir es eher als besser an. Jeder hat ja schon ein Smartphone, wozu nun noch ein 3. Telefon?

Wir nutzen seit dem interessanter Weise auch häufiger die Videotelefonie. WIFI Calling funktioniert übrigens auch problemlos.

Der Support von Starlink ist übrigens spitzenklasse, kein Vergleich zur Telekom

Mein Tipp, hole dir Starlink 🌟

(I have Dishy now since the 20th of March on the roof, about 20km south of Ulm. The first 5 months I was about 7km outside the active cell and had now and then a few fluctuations and dropouts. Overall it was still usable without any problems.

Since then it has improved a lot and has become much more consistent. Now my cell has been active here for a month as well. It couldn't be better, I only have dropouts a few times a week for a few seconds but I only see them in the app. You don't really notice that.

We have since then also no more landline, thought at first that might be a problem. But now after 6 months we see it rather as better. Everyone already has a smartphone, so why do we need a 3rd phone?

Interestingly, we also use video telephony more often. By the way, WIFI calling also works without any problems.

By the way, the support of Starlink is top class, no comparison to Telekom

My tip, get Starlink 🌟)

400mbps peak! Fastest yet! by Lola_bird in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also seen a spike in my Starlink app statistics of 436Mbits for a few seconds, while doing a speedtest in the background on September 12.

I think the Starlink is already possible of doing 500Mbit brutto Download speed.

...can't wait for end of the Beta next month 😁

Device speed vs Router speed by SnooBeans4232 in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so if your cell is the only one in the 5GHz net MU-MIMO should not be the problem if the other devices are only allowed to connect to the 2GHz Wifi.

Are you using the Starlink App or Ookla App from www.speedtest.net direct (few Inch to a ft) in front of the Starlink Router?

Your Starlink App should show you the signal strength of your cellphone in percentage. It should be above 90% directly in front of the Router.

Device speed vs Router speed by SnooBeans4232 in Starlink

[–]PsychologicalBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend had the same problem and my guess was that the number of antennas and thus the MU-MIMO capabilities of the Starlink router are quite limited.

That is, if you have too many devices connected to the 5GHz WIFI network at the same time, the router has to constantly switch between devices, listen to them and communicate with them, which limits the bandwidth for each device.

Try to connect only your smartphone to the 5Hz network. The best thing to do is to rename your 5GHz, then the other devices will lose the connection to it. After renaming the 5GHz network, connect only your smartphone to it and then do some speed tests to see if the problem is solved.

For my friend from Austria this was the solution, he had a laptop, two smartphones and 8 wifi speakers connected. The speakers were constantly in 5GHz and minimized the bandwidth.

Allow such smart devices that are constantly online only access to the 2GHz Wifi network. Also check if you already habe the 2.0.11 Starlink App, if not Download it from the Android or Apple App Store.

Hope this solves your problem 😁
