Why it worked

The video effectively showcases a dramatic improvement in internet speed by comparing a temporary solution (Starlink) to a newly installed one (fiber). The clear demonstration of faster upload speeds for a large file upload provides a tangible benefit that resonates with viewers experiencing slow internet.

Summary

The creator compares their internet speeds before and after getting fiber. They initially used Starlink as a temporary solution and found its speeds to be decent but significantly slower than fiber, especially for uploads. After installing fiber, the creator demonstrates dramatically faster download and upload speeds.

Transcript

It's time to say goodbye to Starling because I finally got fiber. So when I moved into this new house, there were literally no internet hookups, so I ended up picking up a Starlink at least for temporary usage while I waited for them to install fiber. And so we can get a comparison, this is my final speed test using Starlink. Now, I did not have my Starlink optimally set up because, you know, I wasn't going to permanently mount it to get the perfect angle. I just had it out in the yard because I was only going to have it temporarily. You can see right here over 300 upload and about 40 download. Sounds pretty good. Right? But now that we have fiber, let's try this again. And here we go. Come on, keep going. It looks like right now we're at over 900 download, but now, bro, the upload speed, let's go. Over 900 too. So my download speed is like three times better than it was. But my upload speed, bro, it's 30 times better. I literally uploaded a like a 1 gigabyte file to Google Drive yesterday and it took me like 25 minutes to upload. I uploaded that same file on fiber yesterday and it took me 20 seconds. Bro, it took me 20 seconds.
