Wow. I’m impressed with Starlink!

I live in mountain foothills, decently rural area. My house is in a depression between two ridges, so we cannot get the local LOS internet options. No cable or fiber out here. Satellite options like Viasat and Hughes are way too slow for some of my work. Our only option for a while was 4G-home which was incredibly unreliable, and poor on performance.

I got Starlink three years ago which completely changed the game for us. We can both be on video calls and streaming a TV all at once, full speed. Speeds are usually 75-150mbps. In three years it has gone out exactly once (the day Starlink went live on T-mobile) including through some pretty stormy winters. It's been so good I got it at a second property that is extremely rural. Works like a charm there, too.
 
I'm glad that you all are enjoying the ability to bring technology to the backwoods, but just remember, that's one less hurdle for everyone else that wants to build a cabin/house/whatever in the backcountry that we all want to keep unpopulated!
 
Needed faster internet when my wife started working from home. Been happy with star link.

Fast and they have always charged the same unlike every other internet provider I have had.
