I'm rural and on starlink, it's amazing. There's constantly at least one satellite overhead and your dish is constantly dropping and connecting to the next one as they fly overhead
99/mo. That’s the across the board price. My old cable company raised my rates and speed without my knowledge, from $65-$125 to give free internet to homes with kids, and to buy them iPads. I’m not opposed to helping the poor, just not a fan of thievery either. I’m on a $60 per mo promo ending soon and my service costs will go back to $120/mo. Of course I’m leaving them anyways.
Not at all, it constantly tracks whatever is in the sky. The dish cost $500 but rumor is they cost $2k to make. It's a slick piece of equipment, it even melts snow and ice build up
How about satellite delay? Is there a long lag between when you type something and get the response? I know from long ago, modems over telco satellite links didn't live long.
Thanks. Didn't realize there were that many.

I just got it, fast AF. I've not had issues while gaming on it. Well over 200 Mbps.
Same here, before starlink our only options were hughesnet or 10mbps wifi. I play rocket league online with zero issues now
I had good service with a sub-company of Comcast, Breezeline. F them. They also had trash customer service.
hows the ping though
~40ms
How does it compare in price to the usual suspects...cable, DSL?

Does it drop your internet connection when it switches satellites?

Do you just pay for the satellite? Theres gotta be monthy fees right?
No. Seamless transition. I'm in NH.

It should be seamless from what I heard. Like a relay race. Or like current cell towers just a lot more advanced.
