On Monday night, in between the hourly air alarms reverberating outside his home, Oleg Kutkov stuck his SpaceX Starlink dish outside of his window in Kyiv, Ukraine, and pointed it up at the sky. To his surprise, he got a signal in just 10 seconds from one of SpaceX\u2019s satellites overhead, indicating he was receiving broadband internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly didn\u2019t believe that it would work,\u201d Kutkov tells The Verge<\/em>. \u201cI thought there might be some problems with obstructions, might be some problems with my Dishy. But no, it just connected. I got really good speed, really good connectivity.\u201d<\/p>\n
