For all of you that currently have slow satellite internet and need an alternate: this will be the way to go moving forward

Impressive. The only real issue with satellite for me, is latency, on a good day, 3 seconds, on bad days, the sky is the limit.
But at 42 milliseconds this will kill all competition, or in the least, force them to slash their price.

When it comes out, I will definitely switch over.

Here is another article on StarLink. You can actually sign up for the beta now and wait for them to respond,  as per the article...

Just signed up!

Nearly half the price for 1000 times the speed and latency quicker than one can blink.
Hell, I can drop Dish and Viasat and still be ahead, as well as stream video.

And no data caps or throttling 
Hope this works out for you.

So far only far Northern states get it, from Wa to Dakotas, they expect to have more states by 2021, so I may get it by the summer.
Even if it was only comparable to what we have now, it's still a third the cost. The latency is a huge issue, I'll finally be able to play online games again after 20 years.

FCC is ponying up a lot of money for StarLink deployment into more states
