The first person in the UK to reportedly receive the Starlink kit told Insider how he set it up.
Philip Hall said his download speed jumped from 0.5 megabits per second to 85 Mbps with Starlink.
The router s range doesn t stretch that far, but Hall said what Musk has done is transformational.
At the end of last month, the UK approved Elon Musk s Starlink internet as the billionaire reaches closer to his goal of covering Earth with up to 42,000 satellites to create a superfast global broadband service.
Starlink is available to order in more than six countries. Northern US, southern Canada and now parts of Europe are taking part in Starlink s Better Than Nothing Beta test, which costs $99 a month, plus $499 for a kit with a tripod, a WiFi router, and a terminal to connect to the Starlink satellites.

Elon Musk is laying the groundwork for an attack on the British broadband market after securing an Ofcom licence to install potentially thousands of satellite dishes across rural Britain.
Starlink, the broadband satellite network founded by Mr Musk, received a licence late last year to install user terminals in Britain, an Ofcom spokesman confirmed.
The US company has also set up a UK entity, Starlink Internet Services, and launched a limited trial of its rural broadband service as part of preparations that would see it compete with the Government-backed satellite venture OneWeb.
