We tested a Starlink Mini

Starlink Mini tested — The power of the Internet in a backpack

The Starlink Mini offers fibre-like Internet speeds in a much more compact package than its regular-sized sibling dishes.

MyBroadband recently tested Starlink's smaller dish in several locations in South Africa.

Wow promoting law breaking so blatantly. Starlink is illegal and it never should’ve been tested on South African grounds.

Better thing would’ve been to head to Botswana or Zimbabwe and test it out there because their government allows it.

What’s next, are you going to test out the Volvo EX30’s top speed on South African highways even though it’s illegal instead of just hopping on a plane to test it out on the Autobahn in Germany?

Laws are laws and shouldn’t be broken just because you don’t like or agree with them.

aren't articles like this *not* in the best interests of those who want to get it in ZA (currently)? naming the provider and all - assume the provider's fine with it - just seems like it's drawing attention to the authority to come shut them down.

Will be amazing when they shrink it back down to size of a cell, or even better, as a component of a cellphone.

Rich coming from you especially considering how you are always shitting on taxi drivers due to their driving.

Satellite phones already exist that are the size of cellphones. In this regard Starlink is actually a bit behind the curve, but I would assume that it has not been their target market.

Nice.

No need, we have cellphones and they transmit to cell towers.

Soon your cellphone will transmit to Starlink towers overhead, as well

I think you have me confused with someone else.

Very impressive tech, especially for people living outside major cities.

Very impressive tech, period. And very useful to those, in unserviced areas.
