Anybody here use Starlink?

I just did another speed test on the Viasat and got 2.64 download and .95 upload.

If Starlink isn’t better than this crap, I’m going to be shocked and majorly pissed.

That's just a RCH above dial up speed....

I do know that I got a lot more done when I had dial up. I could click on a link and then go do something else while I waited for it to download.

T-mobile home internet with 4x4 Mimo antennas. A little slow now, but it is much faster in the fall and winter. $50 a month. I also have a $10 business tablet line that will pull similar speeds. I am rural in the Osage hills NW of Tulsa and had to use Exede/Viasat for 5 agonizing years before someone on this forum suggested cellphone internet.

My Starlink is out for delivery today. I’m hesitantly optimistic but prepared for disappointment.

That's my mindset on most things..

HOLY SH*T!!! I just set the dish out in my yard pointing kind of northeast without even ”looking” for a satellite and am getting 61.5 down and 4.43 up! That’s probably not great in the grand scheme of things, but I can watch a video without any buffering.

Screw Viasat!!!:finger:

Well, it appears we’re right in the middle of hold that thought.

Check later after it does any updates and is good and synced up. Mine said something to the extent that it would take a few hours for it to normalize and would improve.

I will. The updates show to be done, but it does says something about taking a while to normalize.
