As a Starlink user, how do you like it? How is the latency? What are some perks that come with it? For Example, if you happened to have a camper tailor, or sailboat, do you have mobile dish/router capability. IOW can you hook up from any spot?
It is 22 ms, 352 Mbps down, 53 Mbps up right now. It varies with satellite geometry.
I have the option for full motion operation; I think it is called Starlink Mini. I've never done this --> you can move the "house dish" to a new fixed location. Not sure if it is conveniently done (as in new location every evening).
4 MB/s even in the country is slow.

It was 1 MB/s when I moved here 25 years ago. 4 MB/s was HUGE.
Now we have 2 GB fiber. As some point more speed is unnecessary. You wind up waiting on the internet to catch up with you.
I remember when 14.4 and then 28.8 was screaming. First modems I worked with was 1200 bps then 9600. You could hear the handshaking at those speeds, and troubleshoot with breakout box.
Proud to be a Starlink beta tester and current user.
Not sure what it is now, but $500 for the dish/router and $120 a month a couple years ago seemed like an easy way to support the effort.
And it was way better than "country" internet where we rarely achieved the advertised 4 MB/s rate.

Highly satisfied.

Those were good time fren. Courier modems. My last one was v.Everything.
