Starlink. I’ve been keeping my eye on it since I first heard about it. Finally, in 2024, I had the chance to buy a unit and install it. In the middle of nowhere, for that matter.

I own some land in Mexico 🇲🇽, so I’ve been building a small office as a stepping stone to the full house. Since I need to visit every once in a while to make sure everything is progressing.

Top speed was 132 Mbps, averaging around 50-60 Mbps on clear days. Even through a heavy storm, the internet kept running fine. Needless to say, I’ve been super impressed.

This is just a simple setup that is not fully permanent, and it’ll be a bit longer before I install it permanently elsewhere. In the meantime, I tied it down with some wire so it doesn’t get tilted during heavy winds. Since it’s a bit hard to source items in this location, you need to think outside the box.

I traveled from Mexico City to a smaller city about 1.5 hours south, then continued another 2.5 hours south to finally install it.

Descansa en paz, Padre. Te veo pronto.

Seguiré tu visión de acabar la propiedad. Primero mi abuelo, después tú, ahora yo.
