Usually people who receive free crap find conservative minded (logical) people a threat, they buy into the democrat victim/racist BS

On of the few buys now days that impressed me. So simple a caveman can set it up and worked better than advertised. Had it over a year now, no problems. Was with hughesnet, what a poor service and company.

Good to hear all the positive reports! I’m ordering the home package today. Probably add the mobile package for Canada cabin and camper later on.

There are tons of reasons not to support Ellon Musk but somebody else will start that thread someday.

We would be interested in just one reason. Why wait for someone else? Spill the beans

Had to get it now. Our current provider still hasn’t came out to fix whatever connection problem there is on their end.

Anyway, FedEx delivery has been delayed due to weather since Tuesday. This morning our road was drifted in at a few spots and We’r last on list for the grader, if at all. So I parked one of the Enticers at the end of road with a note for FedEx driver.

I have it and get speeds of over 220 mbps I have 107 now. Our local internet provider really is bad, I cant even upload a picture most days, and I run a internet business.

Elon Musk is the best thing that happened to the USA in a long time. I cant wait to get his Tesla phone when it comes out. It will connect to his Starlink satellite's and have service everywhere.

Do you have any trees by your dish jeff? Mine says “possible interruption due to obstruction. There’s a few tree tops in the bottom of the scan.

I am under a big hill to the north of me with bushes, so that blocked it a bit, and I have some obstructions on the bottom of the scan but not much and it says "all good"

It used to be more obstructed, and go out a couple times a day for a very short periods, but starlink put up more satellites, and my dish turned itself 180 degrees and it stopped going out completely, and got really fast.

Starlink up here in Alaska is great! The last dish internet I had was well over $400 a month and the upload speed was horrible. Well worth the money

Glad to hear, thanks much guys.

Real glad the FedEx guy left it in the snow machine box. I thought his proof of delivery photo was hilarious!

If your computer is old and does not have a wi-fi setting, you don't have to get a new computer! You just need a wi-fi dongle. You can buy one on ebay or amazon for a few bucks. Walmart may sell them, not sure?

Cool, thanks Yote!
I ordered an adapter plug from starlink that will allow me to plug router directly into my computer. The kids thought the antenna might not work on this computer, not sure why.

Question to those in the know. I know the old satellite signals were different but back in those days a heavy storm/clouds/certain weather could mess up the signals.

Is the star link system beyond that?

I live in the stormiest place on earth. It dont effect my internet speed a bit, even in a bad storm with zero visibility. It has great speed.

It has a built in heater in the dish so melts snow and ice.

My old Hughs Net would go out when it rained or snowed.
