We're about to uproot (again!!) and go back to Idaho because of a dementia diagnosis on my wife's mom.
I have noticed that Starlink is advertising residential intarwebs access for $50/month. If one of you tooters uses Elmo's service, could you share your experience, please? Don't hold back. Gimme goods and bads.
Hi @AG7GM I've been completely happy with starlink for 4 years now. Completely satisfied. Not only great performance, but yay not the cable company, and not at&t
Sorry to hear about your wife's mom.
@gojimmypi Niiice! The enclosure looks nice!
I'm doing well. We're getting ready to move and retire kinda fer real.
@AG7GM Thanks! Glad you are doing well !
Hey, so on the pros and cons of Starlink, some things to keep in mind: works best with a wide, clear view of the sky. Upload speeds are a small fraction of download speeds. Although there's an optional heater - keep in mind any snow that might accumulate on antenna. Otherwise it's been quite reliable. Best part is I don't have to deal with the cable or phone company ever again! Let me know if you have any specific questions.
@gojimmypi Thank you for that! I look forward to not relying on the phone/cable folk, but I'll need to look at latency times. Not that it's crucial for me, but I have been known to play FPSs. :)
BTW, I've worked in TV for a few decades and with satellite dishes, the engies would cover them and put an energized lightbulb between the dish and cover. Simple and cheap.
