Starlink
SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connecti...
I believe that a shut down of the internet is still inevitable. Most Anons think that it is the Black Hats who desire a shutdown of the internet, but there is a strong case to be made that the White Hats require a shutdown of the internet in order to clean the grid of all of the Cabal's old corrupted networking.
We are in a transitional period between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. This transition is integrally tied with digital currencies and decentralized finance. Many Anons look down upon crypto in light of its connections to the Cabal's Web 2.0 structures. I believe DeFi (Digital Finance) is the future of our financial system. Consider the fact that Gamestop's MOASS (Mother of all Short Squeezes) was enabled by the covert trading of synthetic (fake) shares. These fake shares were nothing more than a fancy way of committing fraud against the valid shareholders. DeFi would disable this type of trading, as the ledger for all traded assets would be available to the public 24/7. Anons will be able to verify the integrity of brokers in every corner of the market.
What does this have to do with a shutdown of the internet? The Cabal's usury debt based economy is grinding to a halt over the next year. The crash is inevitable. There will come a day when the entire system will cease to function. It will not merely crash, it will break apart into an irreparable state. When this happens, there must be a replacement system ready to deploy. The next iteration of our economy will be integrated with the new internet that will replace what we use today. A complete breakdown of the economy means that it will be time to replace the internet as we know it.
Q once told us to archive everything offline. While this was likely in response to the Cabal's censorship and control of information, it is also likely a reference of events to come.
I do believe that StarLink will be an integral part of what happens in the next chapter of humanity. It is most certainly the first stage in the next iteration of the internet.

Great explanation on crypto. That really help me connect some synapse in my brain.
If you want further information or discussion about crypto, just ask how there are lots of Hardcore crypto folders in here, myself included
What is a hardcore crypto folder?
You gotta know when to folder, and when to holder.
If you think web 3.0 is the future for Q and Trump... it's not. We're still a good 10-20 years away from that being capable of replacing the current web. Everyone thought it would take over the net 15 years ago. yeah, we're way behind.
In one post you were able to logically allay my fears pertaining to digital currency. I salute your logic. Still don't like the idea of not having cash however.
Correct. Starlink is not yet a self contained internet of its own. Still connects to the user dish, which is remote and away from a landline or typical broadband, but, Starlink still sends down to ground stations that use regular internet for the rest of the hops.
This truly makes so much sense.
Confirmed in WV. Been waiting for several years for us to have service available.
Any anons currently using? Specifically with a corporate remote access VPN?
We only have copper DSL out here in the sticks, and the local ISP doesn't put UPSs on their equipment, so when the power fails, the Internet goes down. I could keep Starlink up on our small generator if need be. It's a little expensive as a fallback, but if I could use it as my primary, it'd only be a little more than I'm paying for DSL after I buy the equipment.
Long wait for me as well; have had it for three months. Roughly 150 Mbps down, 14 Mbps up, with a latency of 31 ms.
Very minor, brief, intermittent outages totaling 2 minutes 3 seconds over the last 9 hours.
Edit: Also, with their pay as you go feature you can start and stop the billing in one month increments, maintaining the backup capability without the expense.
150Mbps down is really not bad for satellite, damn. 14Mbps up is trash, but is a fairly correct ratio for a modern copper connection (a lot of FttN gigabit connections end up with around 1Gbps down and 100Mbps up).
Latency not great depending on where you're pinging, which I assume is somewhat local using a default setting speed test site/software, but very serviceable for what Starlink was meant for.
I also had a long wait, and was delayed over a year to finally receive the v2 hardware. I wish that I could post a screenshot of the Advanced Speed Test that I ran last night, but it’s 170Mbps download / 10Mbps upload.
I have been using it exclusively on some of my devices for a while now, and I can’t do much better regarding obstructions due to the trees, but then my system is not permanently mounted, either.
Starlink is awesome! Had it here in AZ for a couple years now. Seamless, easy, fast. Upload speed could be a little quicker, but download and streaming is great. Rarely goes down. Previously we had a few satellite systems and they all suck. Totally satisfied with Starlink.
I got Starlink Roam because standard wasn't available in my area. I have it for a backup because I work from home. Also the ability to go someplace remote and have internet within ten minutes is pretty damned cool.
Backup and insurance policy and portable-Ish. Not for my truck and RV (not paying for roaming option) but good as a SHTF option? Time will tell…still better to have backups for everything instead of not..
The cool thing about the Roam option is that you can turn the subscription on and off as you need it.
That is a cool option….
Could this be the reason for the test Wednesday? 🤔
For anyone wondering, I went to starlink.com and put in my address, the service is $120/mo and $599 for hardware. Way more expensive than my current internet provider!
Best Buy had the unit itself for about $100-$150 cheaper
I just checked and it appears that's no longer the case:

Still cheaper and more capable than Inmarsat.

Starlink could be a whole internet u to itself if it had these IP addresses.
Ya but.. if they break the domain name servers and what not then even if you are starlink connected, all your sites and searches are going to be broken anyway are they not?
You are right. If connections are broken between major backbones, the internet as we know it would cease to exist. At least 100% down here in the states, Canada, maybe Mexico and the breaks will definitely be felt around the world.
Just the implications of being without internet going forward are incredible. There might be chaos just from the shitheads having withdrawl of no Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
Just like in war, at some point, the good guys would have to repair the bridges that are blown up. So anyone with Starlink might have some kind of internet access, but to do what, exactly? Communicate via IRC to those in other countries, perhaps.
Someone smarter than me with more network knowledge needs to look at the hops Musk's network takes to see how his pipes are currently connected. Because if they are no different than AT&T, L3 communications, they will be down like the rest of us.
I think Musk's satellites have a satellite-to-satellite link in a mesh topology with each other to have true redundancy. This is something that Hughes and Viasat probably did not put any major investment into doing with their satellites due to not owning enough of their own satellites or leasing other satellites and transponders. The intersatellite linking Starlinks satellites have also means there does not have to be a significant number of earth uplink stations connected into the fiber optic networks of other countries.
That's pretty nifty. I bet the latencies are shit. But up there it should easily work, with line of sight and zero interference.
What if there is a parallel network set up with totally different servers / backbone with those IP addresses that were borrowed right before Trump left office?
If the current Internet went down and the failover was Starlink you wouldn't have a Facebook or CNN presence on there but there could be servers that have information they would want to share with the public.
Starlink has its own ground stations separate from the "normal internet". I think it could exist on it's own if there was a disruption to our current internet if Musk has his own data centers and servers all using those Pentagon IP addresses. It wouldn't be as huge / redundant as our current Internet with the thousands of undersea cables to supplement satellites, but it would do very well in an emergency situation where all normal internet communication has been disrupted.
Let's say China launches a cyber attack that blinds the US. Starlink as backup could help us to maintain comms and stay in the fight.
Interesting point. Remember that big DOD range of IPs that got moved around or "woke up" a year or so ago.
Interesting timing, is it connected with tomorrow's National EBS test?
Clif High is advising that the EBS "Test" is giving control of the network over to the "Testers" for 2 hours. The previous regular tests have taken 10 minutes. He goes through three possible scenarios for what might or might not happen.

I guess I'm a fringe paranoid now, lol. Mostly I'm shutting off my shit because I simply don't trust FEMA in any way, nor will I ever want or need anything from them.
It's more just a way for me to not participate in their bs.
I think anons need to be carful of musk and his so called answers to our problems. It's very possible that q is alluding to him an others when warning who we should follow. Same goes for bitcoin and those who hype it up. No worldwide service of any kind is going to be good. after all the fight is against the globalists, who want us to have an illusion of freedom, illusion of free currency and illusion of democracy etc.
interesting timing :)
Running it now here in TX…not exactly speedy, but a great alternative/backup if needed. As was mentioned in the comments, there is a plan you can choose to just activate it when you need it.
Tested it against traditional ISP, as well as 5G, and it still is a lot slower, but is definitely usable. Still in testing phase, but I like that I can pack it up and bring it out to the ranch in the hill country and still get nice coverage, because there isn’t shit out there for service.
SkyNet set up and ready to go live.
Leaving a comment so I can read the thread tomorrow. Looks like a lot of good information.
If you go to the starlink map page you will see on the upper left the word availability. Right next to that word is a drop down arrow. That arrow opens up download speed, up load speed and latency. Click on one of those then hover on an area on the map for the info.

If you live somewhere that Residential service isn't available because too many of your neighbors already have it, you can avoid the wait-list by ordering the Roam version. It's the exact same equipment as the Residential package.
Most customers currently get 100-200mbps. Very low latency that you can't get from HughesNet. All the limitations that any dish TV brings.
Ultimately, Starlink will always be relatively niche provider just because of how the network works and the limitations on bandwidth a single satellite has. In those niche cases it can give fast internet to most anywhere on the planet. With the v2 satellites and sat to sat interlink communication,, it can provide light speed communications entirely on its own network across the globe without reliance on any other network or country. This is the game changer part.
It seems like SpaceX is actively trying not to guarantee or promise anything until they are forced to. They are launching hundreds of satellites and actively updating those satellites year by year. I think they are experimenting and have no direct need of new (uninformed) customers to need to market to them. If you have a area of land with a good exposed area of the sky it sounds like a no-brainer to me. Most unhappy reports ive heard are of people getting "only" 100mbps.
There is a trial period of like 30 days.
How do you use it
It says I still have a 2 year wait. Won’t help most people of internet shuts down
If you are waitlisted you can order Roam and get the Standard dish.
