I Got Starlink at Home: What I Wish I Knew First

Getting Starlink at home felt like stepping into the future. A sleek dish delivered to my door, promises of lightning-fast internet straight from space—who wouldn’t be excited? 🚀

The Hype vs. The Reality

Let’s be real—Starlink is amazing, but it’s not magic. Yes, I could stream in 4K and join video calls without the dreaded buffering wheel. But there were also moments of surprise… like the setup being more challenging than expected, and weather occasionally messing with my signal. 🌧️

What I Wish I Knew

  • 📡 You need a really clear view of the sky. Trees, roofs, or tall buildings? They can ruin the fun.
  • ⚡ The equipment isn’t small—make sure you have space for it.
  • 💸 It’s not cheap, and monthly fees add up. Worth it for remote areas, but maybe overkill if you already have stable fiber.

Final Thoughts

Would I recommend Starlink? Absolutely—for anyone stuck with slow DSL or living in rural areas. But if you’re in the city with reliable broadband, it might feel like buying a sports car just to drive in a parking lot.
