ashton23l Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I didnt pay for roaming, i just took the dish with me and figured i would see what happened. I went to a low capacity area and had no issues at all. in fact i ran speeds around 160 the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemsteadc Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Just got mine. Works great.. upload speeds not real great but not a problem. Been watching youtubes of Tesla, Starlink and Musk. Considering what he's accomplished, I think this guy's a genius.

I thought it was supposed to be 1tb down? That’s pretty damn fast. Quote 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 Ryno, I believe that 1TB isn't happening anytime soon. Here is a less than two week old article from Tom's about it. I believe that 300Mbps is the goal for their premium service. Here is the latest news as of 9 September about Starlink: Excerpt: "Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service is already seeing rapid speed gains – here’s everything we know Elon Musk’s satellite internet company Starlink is already approaching broadband speeds. Actually, Starlink Premium, a new higher-end tier, surpasses some of the best broad speeds available in the U.S., albeit, at an absurdly high price. While it’s still early on, Starlink is already having an impact on people living in rural parts of the world. In our Starlink review, we were thoroughly impressed by the new satellite internet service but there are still lots of questions and variables that need to be taken into account. SpaceX also recently launched Starlink RV which is a service meant for users on-the-go or who live in campers. While you can skip the line and get Starlink's RV plan instantly, there is a downside though as network services are de-prioritized for Starlink RV compared to other Starlink products – which means a degraded service and slower speeds. Pre-orders (opens in new tab) are currently underway for this new satellite internet service, which promises to deliver broadband speeds of up to 300 Mbps to anyone in the world regardless of where they are. Whether it be a rural farm in Iowa or a remote village in Canada, customers are reporting greatly improved internet speeds with Starlink. According to a report from Ookla, median download speeds for Starlink dramatically increased between the first quarter of 2021 and 2022 in both the U.S. and Canada. The service’s speeds saw a 38 percent increase in the U.S. and in Canada, speeds increased by nearly 58 percent in the same time period. In the U.S., Starlink users can expect to get speeds around 90.55 Mbps while Canadian users should see speeds close to 97.40 Mbps. SpaceX is continuing to launch more satellites and service is already reaching more parts of the continental U.S., Canada and parts of Europe. We now have an even better indication of how rollout is going, thanks to a new coverage map. But what is Starlink? Below you'll find a rundown of this project that aims to get everyone in the world connected to high speed internet. Latest Starlink news (updated Sept 9) That and a lot more in the article here: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/starlink-internet-coverage-speed-cost-satellites-ipo-and-latest-news#:~:text=Pre-orders are currently underway for this new satellite,are reporting greatly improved internet speeds with Starlink.

Don't want it to become like campground wifi! But, being Elon, he's for sure designed for that.

Chalkie Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Starlink just launched 54 more satellites taking the total to over 3500. The service just keeps getting better. SpaceX launches 54 satellites into Earth's orbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Just got an email from Starlink today. They are implementing a Fair Use Policy and are going to impose a monthly limit of 1TB at which time their access will be reduced to basic service which a lower priority than Residential service. Along with this they are giving a way to monitor your usage, this is something I have wanted from day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
