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….
