Our dish arrives tomorrow, but consider this if you are on cable...
And if you are, you definitely want to unplug completely and get a Starlink unit.

Not on cable, but in any case, more crap cluttering up our sky and these zillion of satellites will be even closer to Earth.  No thanks.

Did you read the OP? They are targeting cable.

To clarify - "I am not on cable..."  - still hate putting more garbage into our sky!

It's all relative to the vastness of space, and if it means killing off the Marxists monopoly over content and selling your private info. I'll take it!

Holy crap.  I'm becoming a big Elon Musk fan.  I thought I'd never see the day.

I know what you mean. I never had any use for someone getting rich off the backs of the taxpayer, (the very reason I quit my Defense Contractor Status) but by God, Elon is putting it to good use.

OK, got it last night, all ready to go, all you have to do is set in in your yard, plug it in, it's already wired up.
It's cool, because it seeks out the satellite on its own, and my download speeds are around 180 MBPS, upload around 28 MBPS, latency is in the 20s.
All in all, it takes about 20 minutes to log on for the first time, and you're ready to go.

In other words, this little monster screams!!

The downside? Needs more satellites, I'm up for 20 minutes, and off for 2 as it waits for the next satellite, sometimes it holds the connection for the next one but it really doesn't matter because when it's up, you can load a bunch of movies, download games, open all kinds of sites, all at the same time and it doesn't blink, until the satellite is out of reach.


Just did a speed check as the satellite is almost out of range...

If you still have your old satellite, how about doing the same speed tests with it for comparison...

Is the down time between satellites 2 min. for you?

Also is the down time depending on the area your live in?

Can you and ST be on at the same time with no problems?

Where was that link about the Dems wanting to lay more fiber?  I can't find it but I know I saw it...
