A satellite that is servicing areas of Spain is incapable of servicing the US. But Dishy in Spain needs the same chips as Dishy in USA. There are chips to make Dishy, they just sent them to Europe and not to us (who have been waiting). I think that is the beef. |

We've been using a line of sight type internet service for about 10 years, 10 Mbps down and 2 up is the best it gets. At $87/mo  Even if the Starlink performs poorly, it will most likely blow me away.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Blackwind: Starlink still rocking it and regularly see speeds between 75-250Mbps. We dropped Ziply altogether as our backup. That was 115 a month..for 15Mbps.  We picked up T-Mobile as our backup an regularly see 90Mbps-ish and that with 2-3 bars. Must be nice, we preordered last Feb and still haven't seen anything. Our only other option is Verizon hotspot, and that gives us a super fast .72 MBPS and that's a fast day. |

I still need more info to decide, but I have to wait anyhow. There won't be availability here for probably at least 6 months. @RyanEsstac I'm talking about the practice of some providers to use the devices customers have in their homes as points where they can allow people to connect. So, as with Comcast for example, another customer of the same ISP can log in near your router and use the bandwidth also. |

I got mine Thursday and got it running in 20 min or less. Now it's fully mounted on the garage roof. Except for the 2+ hour outage yesterday morning that made the news, it's been nearly flawless. It's 15-35x as fast as my only other rural option.
My Ethernet adapter is backordered and supposed to ship by the 19th. Mike |
