Starlink

Anyone else?
Just got ours (RV account) stupid fast speeds thus far. That makes two additional things this year to give thanks for, so when I kick Dish to the curb before the end of the year make it 3. Besides not slamming my fingers in a bay door, sorry Ted lol!

Got one in summer. super speed. I did have trouble with the first one. The connectors are not designed for outdoor use so you really need to watch the connectors do not get anywhere near the ground. I got some small debris in the end of the connector then it jammed the other side and quit working. They replaced in days, amazing service.

I ordered one for the place in Rimrock .Hughes Net has to go it has to be the worst system ever made

[lvmci]

Hughes net is awful, very frustrating,  got rid of it at Nicky's,  took a long time to get Starlink, but worth it...

Startlink test show we will lose service for 2 minutes at 10.05 am,myself I would prefer fiber optics for home use

we just got ours haven't hooked it up yet.

Yup, Best Effort residential arrived a couple weeks ago, after 18 months on the wait list.

VERY VERY HAPPY.

On the fringe of cell coverage, weekends were a disaster, too many devices arrive into the hinterland from the big city... anything with data was slow and unreliable.

It will be a joy to get a proper workstation set up, bus reference materials on the shelf, old hard drives accessed, all those old pics, documents and bulletins...

Happy coaching!

No I was going for the home version Bob, I don't need the RV version since our traveling is getting less and less frequent, I may have to go that route thanks for the tip

You'll need to do the Rv Starlink route then, you'll recieve the equipt with in 10 days and be able to take/set up any where you want.. throw it on the ground plug in, turn on.

Who repairs the Starlink equipment when you own it ? will Starlink repair the components or do you buy again

[buswarrior]

So far, the reports are that Starlink sends out new units, if there's a failure.

They have some remote diagnostic capability and i haven't seen any reports of trouble. Broken? New one being shipped.

Whether that continues into the far beyond, nobody will be able to answer. There are no humans to contact using traditional means.

Happy coaching!
