The Official, Super Deluxe, Mega BS Starlink Thread

Still working fine here.

 

Wonder where the idea came from

 

I’m considering dumping the solo eyebrow and pull up bar- doesn’t add much if anything

That's fast. My speed test a minute ago.

 

Had winds up to 86mph at the house today and didn’t drop connection at all.

 

On the updates @crazysccrmd

This is the month! (I hope…)

 

Pre-ordered last february and ended up cancelling. Just signed up with a 2 year contract with fixed wireless provider for 25 down and 5 up for $80/month and wondering if it's worth it to get back on the list for starlink again

 

It's over four times faster for $20 more a month. I'd say it's worth it.

 

^ This.

If you do sign up again, please post when they say you’ll get it. Thanks

 

My only reservation is the small little disruptions in service that people seem to have where it’ll lose internet connection for a few seconds and then bounce back.

I just did a speed test though over my iPhone and got download of 20, jitter of 70, and 37ms ping. (at a time where there’s probably a lot of people online) would starlink be an improvement over that?

 

Mine only rarely loses connection, maybe a couple seconds of dropped connection within a 24hr period. The speed test I just ran was 134mbps download, 16mbps upload and 35ms ping. Every couple days I'll play Call of Duty online and have no issues with it until I get tired of getting my shit pushed in by eight year old kids.

 

yeah that's one of the main games i play. just hopped off with ping bouncing from 45ms to well over 100ms and was definitely noticeable. Was your speed test hard wired or wifi?

 

Wifi.

 

Thanks. Yeah just ran another speed test on pc wifi and got 52 ping, and 21/5 for speeds

 

These locals canceling pre-orders because they're not patient enough. Elon refunding India pre-orders. I can just hear my spot in line moving up.

 

I didn’t pay the $99 yet, but it says early-mid 2022

 

When I first installed this spring I had about 5 minutes of downtime a day. Most of that was just a second here and there. Rarely did I even notice. If I did it was only long enough to say "shit" and then it was back.

A few months on and it's rare I lose anything more than a few seconds a day and most of those are likely a bird or a leaf or something.

If there's anyone in your area ask what they're seeing. I wouldn't even consider the downtime a con at all.
