Crikey.... don't do that. I was hoping we could keep Mars pollution free for a while.I'm on fiberoptic but during peak times YouTube videos will have interruptions and run slow. It seems likely that StarLink is going to kick some providers in the a$$. Hope he makes boatloads of $ with it and uses the $ to send politicians to Mars.
Same thing, same email. I was given an estimate of March 2022 for service. Blamed the chip shortage in part.Just a quick update on Starlink. I preordered mine with the $99 deposit on 3/2/20 and they said it would be available in my area (SE WI) mid to late 21. Just got an email yesterday from them saying it will now be early to mid 22 On the plus side though, service should even be better with more satellites in orbit.
That depends on where you live. I live at the end of the line for service, a half a mile from the nearest customer. We will never get fiber optic service out here. The payback isn't there. Our "broadband" service is less than 4Mbps. download and .5Mbps upload. And those are the good days. During wet weather, it drops out completely. Centurylink, our provider, says the service meets their specifications.Wired will always be a better experience overall. It's just physics. As much as I hate Comcast, no wireless can touch them there. That said, the other systems can certainly be "good enough". Particularly for our friends in more rural areas.
Me too RJ. My service isn't nearly as bad as yours, but we too live on a dead-end road with limited homes. Centurylink is not putting any money into upgrading their service, unlike Mosaic in our area. Mosaic is putting fiber in everywhere, but our road is one of the few in a "protected" CenturyLink area. Pure crap is what it is. CenturyLink will die out with Starlink coming.That depends on where you live. I live at the end of the line for service, a half a mile from the nearest customer.
