Pulling the Starlink trigger

[DoggyDaddy]

If you use the hotspot much, it might be worth considering a separate device?

That's what he's referring to when he mentioned "the cube".

Apologies for the error in numbers, picked a bad or misworded source.

How isn't it offered east of the Mississippi? I didn't have to cheat, just signed up to be notified when it was available and bought the equipment when they told me I could.

You must have been one of the lucky few to get in. If you try to sign up now, you'll likely be told it's not available in your area and please wait.... unless you do the RV system, which can be depriortized.

Again, it worked great for me as a stop gap until we got fiber out in the sticks. I'm glad they made RV service transferable so I could recoup most of my money.

Seems to me it is like TV providers and house insurance where you have to change once in a while to get the best service and prices.

Not Starlink. They are raising the price of the RV service from $135 to $150 a month to try and slow demand... they can't keep up.

Yes. It sounds like they really can't keep up - with both the demand and the delivery.

I'm obviously hoping for better but that's about what I've been experiencing here for months so if Verizon delivers the same I'll at least be saving $65/mo.

Good point about saving money. Starlink was a bit of a let down to be sure. I canceled my reservation after a year and soon after they announced the price hikes. If T-Mobile gets the service fixed in a timely manner I’ll be happy again.

Hopefully the Verizon hotspot works out well for you.

FWIW... Received an email last evening stating 'Your Starlink order is ready!'. This was from the original 'get-in-line' process way back... Don't really need it now that fiber is almost here.

I am on the the fiber and it is very fast and is always on!

Same for me. My fiber is already here and I am very happy with it.

 

[nonobaddog]

Yeah, fiber is top dog on the pile. Gonna take some new technology to change that.

I have a little misgiving about there not being any place in the world a cell phone won’t work from a philosophical standpoint, but this is pretty interesting
