Starlink Satellite Internet Gold Coast Queensland Australia
Starlink Satellite Internet Gold Coast Queensland Australia My Starlink satellite internet order arrived a couple of days ago, February 2022, after a wait of about nine months. I think the wait was due to my location being serviced by Starlink. I set it up in the driveway temporarily and it worked very well, up to 250 Mb/s downloads. The antenna is now installed with a view of the sky above the house roof and connected as the main internet, replacing the slow NBN FTTN (Fibre to the node, VDSL). Cost The cost in Australia is about $800 for the hardware, then $139 per month. The monthly cost is reasonable given that we pay $100 for Telstra NBN FTTN. I will continue the NBN for a month or so, to make sure the Skylink is reliable enough. Mounting The Skylink antenna needs a clear view of the sky as the low earth orbit satellites can be anywhere in the sky. While the antenna is a circle and looks like a dish, it is made up of about 1000 small electronically steerable antennas using beamform
