I’ve been thinking of switching over to STARLINK given all the craziness going on and the fact that I believe it may be a way to get around the coming communication breakdown we’ve been expecting. Anyone have any experience using it or insight on privacy and reliability?

I have had it for over 2 years now. Honestly I love it compared to what was available out here before. We had hughesnet and I found they blocked quite a bit of sites, it would go down constantly, took forever just to download family pics to Walmart to have printed. Started looking into starlink and got on the list, paid my deposit, within about 3 months my section of sky opened up and when we started I think it was 90 a month, now I’m paying 120. But the upside is we can download and multi stream in the house now. Kids can game, hubs and I watch tv for free now, I cut the Hughes and fish out which was about 250 a month. The only time we have noticed any issues is when major storms go over and even then it’s very short and not actually a problem at all, I mean with dish everything would reset and we would miss a part of the show or whatever and that was frustrating. With SL it just lasts a couple seconds and then pops back up exactly where we were at. I also can live chat with my parents now 1000 miles away… so that’s been great. Overall it’s an investment up front but one I am happy I made.
Lol hughesnet. What a bogus excuse for a company. They have a totally shitty product and only offer it in areas so remote they know nobody has a better option. Dont improve your product, find people with no choice!
