Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an intergral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on it's evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Anyone have Starlink? Thoughts? Opinions?
We have it here at my house, my son got it last year, no issues, sometimes it drops for about 7 seconds and it's barely noticeable, providing our home with 4 active computer users, streaming, gaming, etc. It isnt even on the roof, it's been on the ground for a year, the snow melts off of ti, just have to move it to cut the grass. I live in the northern hills of Vermont, lots of trees, but its bare enough sky out front of the house where the gardens are. We love it.
Excellent thanks. I have cable options from a major provider but I like the idea of it being separated from a good chunk of the internet backbone so if/when there is a blackout, I might still be connected.
As soon as we get it in our area, my mom and I want to get one. We have Mediacom, and it’s horrible. All the rest pretty much suck as well, but if I could have Cox Internet, I’d rather have that than Mediacom. But we don’t have cox in our area.
