Wow. I’m impressed with Starlink!

Used to have starlink on a ranch I worked on. Excellent system

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.

The mini has been great
Been sitting in the dash of my truck and been driving back roads in the backcountry taking work calls on it

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!

I work in the pipeline industry. We run our entire job sites and our RV’s in very remote areas. It’s phenomenal.

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.

I got mine about 5 years ago and it was/is amazing. The local Kinetic folks finally got fiber out in the sticks where I live about 2 years ago but I've rolled my setup back out a few times since I got fiber. It was a Godsend having it when Helene about wiped us off the map and were without power for 2 weeks +.
The great thing about having it as a standby/emergency system is how quick it is to reactivate and be back online.

Our download speed at the house is anywhere between 0-15mbps and can be intermittent. We are thinking of switching as well.

I just ordered, cost me $22 bucks, including them installing (passed on that), to give it a try.

I just ordered a starlink unit for our house, I’m really excited to give Xfinity the boot. How are you guys installing these for permanent use? I have an adobe flat roof house, drilling holes to run cables inside isn’t a real option. Did you guys buy the starlink brand mounts or have any of you built your own mount that you attached to your house?

Not sure how to get around drilling unless you run a cord out a vent, or window?

I use starlink mounts, one is on my eave other is the flag pole adapter, both work well

I am two months in on my Starlink. I could not be happier with the service. Cheaper and way better than the interenet that was available at my home. 10/10
