Starlink - Anyone get it yet?

Thanks yeah, that told me to use a different city, and on the DHL website after I enter that city the drop down has lots of options for eircode including mine. But when I enter that city on starlink, the drop down only has a handful of available eircode. It seems the "city" drop down is limited to < 10 options.

Yeah that might be my only option. It seems crazy that I'll have to entered a wrong eircode and put the right one into a different space on the address. Dont like taking a chance like that on a €300 delivery!

How did you fix with DHL? Did they email you before the delivery and you were able to change it?

I can use the plus code when searching for service address, but the shipping address is where I'm having issues and that doesnt take a plus code.

The City field seems to be the issue. Right now no matter what city I enter it limits the drop down to 10 eircodes , so it seems impossible for anyone to properly enter their eircode.

Could anyone quickly test it out? Make sure I ain't going mad. I've tried several browsers and incognito mode and still the same.

This is what I see when in enter Bandon in the city field. Dropdown comes up with list of eircode but only 10 in that list:

I found my DHL address with my eircode in that tool and it let me put that into the order, so I didn't need to intervene.

For my order DHL sent it to Ireland and I could track until it was sent off to Ireland .. 4 days nothing and then postman delivered. I did then go back to DHL tracking page and saw an an post tracking number, but that was defo not there the night before..

So I got it delivered by an post in the end. My neighbour got it delivered by DHL hemselves , and they actually called him to confirm address ( this was 6 months ago or so).

Do you have family or friends nearby with an address that works on the starlink order page ? Just use that ?

and you are not crazy.. I double checked for you and get the same. Obviously a webpage design issue, but not one that is likely going to be fixed by tomorrow.

I’ve just moved to a house without fibre broadband, the national broadband plan says it’s scheduled Oct-Dec 2023. Any downside to renting Starlink for the next few months/ end of the year?

Order placed last night and logged a support ticket, which they responded to and changed my address and entered the right eircode, so all good. Thanks for your help.

Dishy has already shipped and seems to be coming from Germany?

Its on their website. Click - Terms Of Service - Starlink specifications then you see the spec for the "Standard" plan. I actually cancelled when I saw this as I had a few concerns. We currently have imagine broadband and its been relatively good up to a few weeks ago. I get around 30 down at peak times and over 100m down most other times however lately the upload speed has barely reached 1m. I was going to try starlink as I'm about 2 years away from NBI. But Ill give imagine a chance to try resolve the upload, if they fail Ill go with Starlink. My other concerns were the initial 300euro install + 40 euro ethernet adapter + 200euro pole mount install and also the power draw for the dish.

Yeah, shipped from Germany- you will probably have it Wednesday.

The disadvantage of getting "proper" internet is that it shows how poor my home network is. When you have low speeds coming in, you don't really notice difference when on wifi, but if you get like 200-250 download speeds coming in and when connected through your own routers you end up with about 100 (wifi or cable), it is very noticeable and very annoying.. Already replaced a few patch cables that were either cat5 or plain bad cat5e and I am getting closer but it looks like my dual wan router decides to take a chunk of the speed.. so lots more to do to figure out. Not that I need 200 down, but if you pay for it you may just as well get it 😎

Shouldn't be an issue unless your home network is very poor. There is real challenge to deliver 600-1000Mbps over Wi-Fi though, otherwise almost any modern ISP provided router could deliver 500mbps WIFI speeds .

Do you mind me asking why?

My wife's parents have got a starlink connection installed. We are having minor issues accessing some apps eg Daft, RTE etc. I live abroad and use a vpn regularly and it appears to be the same apps which don't work when the vpn is running won't run when connected via starling. Switch off WiFi and go on 4g and they load without any problems.

Got it sorted, all to do with dodgy patch cables. 200+ DL speed in my home office..

Great tool I found to use to identify bottlenecks was this continuous speed tester. http://startrinity.com/InternetQuality/ContinuousBandwidthTester.aspx

Hi all, So my imagine bb upload speed has gone to pot the last 4 weeks. Download speeds fine, upwards of around 50-100meg. Contacted support, they advised that my signal is within spec so f-0ff. II asked if they could send someone out to check CPE and maybe reposition or swap out but they said no. I am with them 6 years so really frustrating. Anyway, I have reordered starlink but even after asking support to change my address it is now status shipped with Cork Airport T12A48X in the final address. My address and postcode is there too but did anyone have same situation and able to contact DHL/ an post to rectify address?? Any advice here? Thanks.

Did you get yours ?

Ive just got starlink works great.

only thing is I need to have a voip phone connection for those 'non-what's app' calls. I have no land line, and fringe to no mobile signal. can I turn my internet into a phone that makes ordinary mobile calls plus emergency srevices
