      @@brettbrian4539 my bad, how can you tell? Even so you can't really bash huges net, there's only so much bandwidth available from a single satellite. An average high congestion cellphone tower maxes out around 60 gbps and they have a huge spectrum of bandwidth, and that's the entire 360 degree circle, however one cellphone tower covering half of the USA would suck. It would be congested all the time. I don't know the total capacity of huges net satellite but I guarantee it's not as much as a full spectrum cellphone tower. Same with the one arguing above. there's a limited amount of radio channels that no way can carry metropolitan area via 1 or 2 satellites. Hard wire and fiber is pretty much unlimited, they just have to add more fiber to handle larger loads.

    Two things to note: 1. Right now, during the beta, it's tethered to your location. If you get too far away from your address, you can't use it (although after beta this option will be available). 2. You can't use it for games well because there are still gaps in the satellite coverage (more or less depending on your location in the country). When they launch more satellites, those gaps will disappear. Like you said though, already outstanding even as it stands!

      The 'ping' times/latency will not improve as the # of satellites improves if you're already closest to a particular satellte... Starlink themselves anticipate as they move from Beta that latency times will improve because of improvements in "networking software" and infrastructure and in certain cases if a satellite is launched that's closer. And that makes sense - the satellites are 'constant' as it were:).

    Starlink satellites are scheduled to send internet down to all users within a designated area on the ground. This designated area is referred to as a cell.
    Your Starlink is assigned to a single cell. If you move your Starlink outside of its assigned cell, a satellite will not be scheduled to serve your Starlink and you will not receive internet. This is constrained by geometry and is not arbitrary geofencing.

    I probably wouldn't stick it on the roof, or at least give it a long test this winter before doing that. The satellites are ~340 miles in altitude. Another 20 feet won't make any difference (barring trees, etc. in the way, of course). It has a heater for snow, but I bet you can get some pretty significant storms at your location. A lot easier to sweep snow off it in the winter time then at ground level than climbing up on the roof, if needed. I assume the angle of the dish plays a big role too.

      @@topc5826 We currently are using a cellular service plan, but the closest tower is AT&T. Around April or May AT&T decided to implement a 400Gb/month hard data cap. From what I understand they're trying to provide some free internet to low income families, which is great, but they're screwing their paying users immensely to do it. I pay over $100/month for 400Gb max. Yes, it's roughly 40-50mb down and 20 up, but with multiple game systems, macbooks, and PC's, that just doesn't cut it. The third party company we go through is sending out a Sprint SIM to see if we can pull good enough signal from their towers to use it instead, mostly because here recently AT&T decided that their 400Gb cap was too high and this month shut me off at like 25Gb. It's just been a struggle, but we NEED internet if for no other reason than for the kids to do school work and so that we can occasionally game together.

    To add more context on why its not suitable for gaming and livestream:
    Online gaming and livestreaming require a constant stream of data in order to stay online or stay in the livestream. The way this internet works is it constantly switches to the closest and fastest sattelite to your location. This constant switching to different sattelites as they fly across the sky means that your internet technically drops out every time the switch happens.
    This doesn't affect movies or UA-cam because those buffer a little bit ahead, so the download of the video or movie is always ahead of you. Where as a live stream you are watching live. There is no buffer.

    This just makes me happy! I'm glad you found an internet service that works well! I hope Starlink continues to allow people to connect all around the world.
    Glad it means your videos are less of a stress on you, too.

    From some things I’ve read on it building a little wind enclosure might help. Especially if you don’t want to permanently mount it and are experiencing dropping issues. Those dropping issues are also consistent with the “better than nothing” beta, and will hopefully improve.

      Yes but that's okay most people don't know there is a difference even though the difference is about 8x.

      The biggest confusion of all time. Just assume they’re talking about the standard way internet is talked about. mbps

    Those speeds are faster than my land line internet from Comcast.

      Faster than my rural WISP, 40msec is the fastest, 80msec average ping.

    This is a game changer to me! I live in southern Michigan where internet I great. However I own property in Northern Michigan where satellite access is SUPER expensive and NOT worth it! To have this set up I can now work towards having urban amenities in that area that I never thought I could have!

    I wonder how much the price will go up after it’s totally online?

    Ha, I was wondering if you were going to get it. We started using it about a week ago. So far, so good! Only a few random drops and some issues with video calling one day. But very fast and decent price compared to the other limited rural options.

    They are a lot of low orbiting satellites at 12k miles up instead of 1 satellite at 30k miles up. It’s the ping is cut in half because there’s more than half the miles to get to your satellite then to your modem.

    It is geolinked to your home location. You are not able to move it around or take it remotely.
