How Much Does Starlink Satellite Internet Cost in Canada? | Starlink Canada Unlimited

Starlink In Canada Prices and Plans | Satellite Internet in Canada

 Starlink, a satellite Internet service, uses a satellite network developed by Elon Musk’s private spaceflight company SpaceX to provide Internet around the globe.

SpaceX uses low-Earth orbit satellites to provide high-speed Internet across the globe. As of this writing, coverage is provided to 34 countries and improving satellite infrastructure will add more countries around the globe. You can view the updated coverage area here:

Starlink offers two types of satellite Internet in Canada for non-business users: Residential Internet and RV Internet. Residential Internet is suitable for those with an address or who don’t need to change their location. RV Internet is for those who want mobility. You can take RV Internet anywhere you go, without location boundaries.

In Canada, the cost of Starlink is as below (as of this writing):

Starlink Residential satellite Internet: $140 per month + Service taxes $18.20 (Upfront Hardware cost is $759 and $65 for shipping plus $107.12 tax)

Starlink RV satellite Internet: $170 per month + Service taxes $22.10 (Upfront Hardware cost is $759 and $65 for shipping plus $107.12 tax)

Both plans are for no-contract, unlimited Internet with a speed of 50 to 150 Mbps. Reported Starlink speeds vary, but in general they are below 100 Mpbs download and 30 Mbps upload, but your own results may vary.

Speeds and downtime provided by Starlink are a lot better than other satellite providers and there also is no contract. Some rural areas have had no Internet access in Canada before, so something definitely is better than nothing. As Starlink is working to increase its coverage across the globe, in the future I hope more remote locations will have access to better satellite Internet.

How to Credit Avios Points On Qatar Airways Flights

How Can I Use British Airways Avios On Qatar Airlines

I was looking to credit my British Airways Avios account for my upcoming Qatar Airways flight. I called Qatar Airlines, as I couldn’t see any option to credit Avios on my flight details page. Qatar Airways had no idea and transferred my call to their rewards department. I hung up on the call after holding for a while.

Then I found out searching online that recently Qatar Airways joined the Avios Loyalty Program, which opens up endless possibilities for Avios collectors. Qatar Airways is one of the best airlines in the world and this new partnership will make it even more attractive to fly.

To credit Avios, you need to have a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account. Once you are in your account, there should be prompt to link your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account. If you don’t see this prompt, you can link your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account and British Airways Avios following the link below:

Transferring and combining my Qatar Privilege Club account and British Airways Avios was a breeze. Within minutes, it showed me my combined points and Qatar Privilege Club account.

This new partnership opens up endless possibilities for Avios collects, as they can now have access to all the other partners Qatar Airways offers, which are non-oneworld partners. You can visit the link below to know about Qatar Airways partners.

You can book Qatar Airways with Avios points from other oneworld partners and of course, from Qatar Airways’ own portal. I have a video on this, which can be accessed here:

How to Buy Qatar Airways Super Wi-Fi | Does Qatar Airways Offer Free Wi-Fi?

What Is Qatar Airways Super Wi-Fi?

For my upcoming flight to Asia on Qatar Airways, I was searching for its Wi-Fi information and this is what I gathered. Qatar Airways is one of the best airlines in the world and they provide Wi-Fi that is unparalleled by any other airlines.

Qatar Airways recently announced a new type of Wi-Fi, called Super Wi-Fi which is expected to be 10 times faster than standard Wi-Fi. Super Wi-Fi uses GX satellites to provide in-flight, high-speed Internet.

All Qatar Airways Boeing B777 and Airbus A350 fleets currently have Super Wi-Fi available. You can check the link below to find if your flight or what other flights have Super Wi-Fi available.

Qatar Airways Super Wi-Fi

What’s striking is that the cost at which Qatar Airways is providing Super Wi-Fi. I was expecting Qatar Airways to charge a lot for this better version of in-flight Wi-Fi. However, as of this writing, Super Wi-Fi is only $10 US for the entire flight and it is unlimited. There is even a 20% discount and you can pay only $8 US when pre-purchasing during check-in online through the Manage My Booking portal.

I find the Super Wi-Fi unreal and it provides a lot of value. I will definitely try Super Wi-Fi and will share my Qatar Airways Super Wi-Fi experience when I fly in August 2022.

I have posted a video about Qatar Airways providing Super Wi-Fi and will keep you updated and post more videos on this playlist.

Ahmed Dawn YouTube Banner Refresh | Ahmed Dawn Website Banner Refresh

Ahmed Dawn Dot Come Banner & YouTube Banner Redesign

Not exactly sure when I had my last banner designed, but it’s been a few years and it’s time to refresh. My current banner was nice and visually pleasing, but I wanted to have something similar, but better.

I put up a work order on a freelancer site and within less than an hour I received 50 designers interested in work. It was difficult to pick, so it took me some time. But after sorting through all the responses, I decided to hire two designers for different perspectives.

I mentioned that I want a banner similar to my current one with different elements and designing. The 1st designer seemed to get it and sent me a beautiful new banner that I liked right away. However, the 2nd designer kept sending me something totally different and I had difficulty explaining what I wanted to him.

After some corrections and communicating back and forth, I decided on the 1st designer’s banner. The 2nd designer failed to come up with anything I liked, so I sent him what the 1st designer did and asked him to change the background picture only. The reason I chose two designers was because I knew one of them would not be up to what I was looking for.

Finally, after copying the 1st designer, the 2nd designer was able to come up with something I like, although he kept making mistakes and I had to correct him many times.

I am posting both designs here, so you can see what they look like. I will be using both designs and will change them back and forth.

I have no plan to change the banner any time soon, but who knows? Maybe after 3 or 4 years I might want something different – we will see.

DE Shaving Accessory – Shaving Bowl (Vacuum Insulated)

Best Shaving Soap Bowl for Your Wet Shaving

Recently, I switched to a double edge safety razor from a disposable razor. Unlike a disposable razor, shaving with a safety razor required patience and lots of lather. Putting on shave foam from a tin can doesn’t work that well, as the lather is not thick.

I tried putting shave cream on my bristles but looked like a shaving bowl could make creating the foamy lather process much easier. So, I started looking for shave bowls online.

There are so many options at many different price ranges that I was genuinely surprised. After going through probably a hundred of them on Amazon, I decided on a stainless steel one that was vacuum insulated for heat retention.

However, I couldn’t make the lather heavy thick like I had seen on some videos on YouTube. This could have been due to my brush not being good enough, my new skills not being good enough to make a thick lather, or my stainless-steel bowl may not have been a good one.

I have some nice-looking shave bowls made of wood and I’ve been thinking of trying one of them. Because I review all these products on YouTube, buying more than one is not a waste for me.

To expedite publishing my DE shaving experience, I have bought 7 or 8 different types of razors and I’m reviewing them one by one. There are lots of people looking for safety razor shaving, and this is a new audience segment for me to target.

As I learn more and gain experience with safety razor shaving, I will provide more tips and review videos for viewers across the globe joining the safety razor club.
