Well they launched another batch of satellites yesterday morning so I reckon their launches are back on track. Supposed to be a couple more in the near future.

After watching the meteor shower I decided to do a few speed tests...
   Versus my DSL.... The DSL is generally 5-6 during the day when everyone else is awake. Its 5am here so I'm getting the best bandwidth possible, and its obvious is hitting its bandwidth cap with the consistent results.

Generally you'd just want a boring switch for plugging multiple items in to the one port if you're still relying on the router in the dish, otherwise you're just adding another layer of NAT... |

Update from Idaho. Starlink has been rock solid throughout our use and both the wife and I work from home. Video conferencing, the works. One thing I have noticed over the past few weeks is significantly better latency. Now I am seeing a consistent range of 23-35ms which is even better than what I would see via the local land-based internet providers prior to switching to Starlink.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jcatcg: Mine says the same. I have little optimism that we'll get service before this year is out. I'm betting it's closer to later spring 2022. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jcatcg: Originally Posted By ohioktm125: That's what I was thinking. My reservation still says mid to late 2021. Same thing here. That said, since T-Mobile did some work on their local cell tower my download speeds have been consistently above 200 Mbps. Upload is still a little slow at 5-10 Mbps but it's a darn sight better than the DSL we had at 7-9 down and .7 up. I'm going to have to think hard about it when Starlink says me an email saying the order is ready to ship. Especially since fiber is coming to this area someday in the next year or so.

I refunded when Suddenlink came to town. (16 down /1 up) 8 months later I am back on the list. I am tired of multiple disconnects a day. Sad though I am pushed to mid 2022 now instead of late 2021. I had hopes for fiber but there only option is line of sight to my house with the 15-25 foot attena on roof for more money and half the speed.
I had seen from others that the 2021 delivery date has been over promised though. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ZW17: When they said mid to late 2021, they really meant LATE 2021.  I did the 2/9 deposit too.I got a wireless plan that is 100GB for $55, and it actually is working out fine for us as we hardly stream (maybe 5-8 hours per week). Haven't run out of data in the first few month of having it, and speeds are 20. Thinking I may pass up starlink now as I don't see the value of $500 initial/$100 per mo right now. Maybe that would move you up in line a spot!! |
