    Dislike. I've read about and watched a few youtube videos of people who took their dish farther away than that and still had it working.

    Do they allow you to change the registered address?

    It still works and is at a higher elevation with a better view of the sky above. I am curious if they plan their constellation orbit based on approved addresses, but being only 5 miles East from the registered address, I don’t see how that could matter or impact. Also assuming there is a location sensor of sorts built into the dish itself.

    Anyway, just sharing use for readers knowledge.

    I have read that you can login in using a computer at their website and change the billing address but I haven’t yet…I haven’t changed the billing address for that one particular credit card it bills to.

    Will do that tonight.

    Update to this…. I am unable to change my service address to my new home because it is not in an “active cell for Starlink service”. Tech support said my dish will not be disabled but they won’t provide tech support until the dish shows it is located at the service address.

    I had contacted them because I was seeing the connection to my Unifi router revert to 10/100 speed. I changed to a Firewalla Gold as my router/firewall and it has stayed a gig connection.

    Mine didn't work when I was leaving the house this morning. Thought it was weird for it to say it had no satellites for that long.

    Wow, it’s still going on!?!

    No other explanation from SpaceX? Surprising they’d leave everyone hanging…

    I'm sure when Papa Elon sends me a dish my parents won't ever utter that phrase.

    But what everyone seems to forget is that this is still a "better than nothing beta". Not this is a 2nd 3rd or even 4th option for super fast super stable internet that people are pitting against their cable and other hardline internet... That part kinda still annoys me.
