The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has authorised Elon Musk’s SpaceX to use its Starlink satellite internet system on moving vehicles such as cars, trucks, boats, and planes
Along with SpaceX, the FCC has approved Kepler Communications, paving the way for a new class of user terminals that can connect to broadband-beaming satellites while moving, according to the Verge.
“Authorising a new class of terminals for SpaceX’s satellite system will expand the range of broadband capabilities to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move, whether driving an RV (recreational vehicle) across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a US port, or while on a domestic or international flight,” FCC international bureau chief Tom Sullivan, said in a statement on Thursday.
I'm going to try. Moving into new house at the end of the year and am on the Starlink waiting list. Is there an known issue w/ corporate VPN or any VPN for that matter?
I moved from fiber to cable. Sucks. I like the idea of Starlink because it can’t be censored. It’s running through an entirely different backbone. And it can’t be knocked offline.
It is a decent chunk of change your correct...I have a question : If the deep state were to bust up our power supply do you think starlink would link everyone up for communication ? I would hope that's a possibility..🤷
Yeah during a power outage starlink will still work on your backup power. Takes about 100 watts
Monthly cost is equivalent to current fiber based service.
For now, you can order the RV version; it seems ships much more quickly than the facility install version.
It's awesome. I'm using it with protonvpn.
How fast is it?
Well where I'm at others barely hit 5 Mbps. Starlink is hiring 100+ Mbps. But since I'm a gamer the latency was my selling point. Going from 300-400 to 10-30 was awesome. And the no data cap is nice too.
10 to 30 ms ping?
Speeds vary quite a bit but it’s not noticeable for the most part. The cell I am in is “at capacity” so unfortunately I do see it slow down quite a bit during peak hours (evenings). I usually see 50-80 mbps down during normal working hours though.
Yup. Works fine with corporate vpn (cisco in my case).
Posting from the middle of nowhere wyoming right now with mine. I LOVE IT.
We have it at our house in the country and I use it to work remotely logging into our corporate network. I've gotten as high as 250 Mb down but average 70 to 90.
