Imagine a service so revolutionary it’s reshaping internet access from sprawling cities to the most remote corners of the planet-but now, it’s facing a surprising problem: too much success. With nearly 5 million already using SpaceX Starlink, thousands of satellites in orbit, and tech so advanced it might soon replace your cell network, why are some people being left on hold?

Im in Florida and had DSL supplied via copper lines. Over the last few years the speed keeps dropping and decided to try Starlink. Its been 5 months and no issues. My dish was mounted on the peak and had to move it during hurricane to a more protected area with cluttered obstructed map but overall its great. Had great connection during hurricane and was able to view all my internet security cameras while the hurricane passed over. Lost cable tv, land line and power but startlink still going strong. Well worth the price

We were in the first 10,000 subscriber group when Starlink Beta was first offered in our area in January 2021. It was a freaking game-changer straight out of the box. No surprise it's so successful.
@jimshreve83Ай бұрын
As another Starlink user on 5 acres, in the middle of nowhere, it has been the best connection I have ever had, and I use to live all over So Call, except last night when a big snow storm knocked out the power for a few hours. The only time I have an issue is if I'm pushing FF & Rew too many times too quickly, but that could be my ROKU box. It is the best, no stress option available. I've never had to call anyone about anything, no junk mail, no sales pitches, nothing. I did have to update the expiration date on my Card. All Pros no Cons. Right now it's gray , ugly, cold and snowing somewhat hard with no signal issues. Great day to sit by the fire and rewatch Flight 6 videos.

We are a couple of months behind you with the Starlink service at our residential home. We have a camper on a permanent site 27 miles from the nearest utility pole. We ordered the RV version for there, because, due to snow and cold, we're only there 6 months out of the year. The best part of having Starlink there is reliable phone service. My husband converted the Starlink to 12v power and it works flawlessly. Thanks for all your Starlink videos. You have been our go to source since we were on the waiting list.

I had to wait almost a year for mine, ordered just a few months after it was made available. More recently, I had considered discontinuing the service because of the monthly cost. After the hurricanes came thru, I reconsidered and decided to keep it because there is no better connectivity during mass outages. Speaking of which, the current shortage could be due in part to the huge number of units Elon so generously deployed in the disaster areas, and preppers deciding Starlink is a great idea.

The local fiber salespersons keeps trying to sell their wares to me on my rural farm. I just laugh, and point to my Starlink dish, and tell them “No thanks, for years I needed service & your company deemed me too unimportant to bother with, but Elon saw the need, and acted. Have a good day, goodbye”.

Please, 9 months wait is nothing, I had to wait 18 months for Starlink and I signed up on the first day. Love the video and watch them often. Of interest, I know a lot of people in Georgia are getting Starlink since the hurricane that hit a month or two ago. They waited weeks to have their land line internet come back up. I live in the country, but they have run a fiber line to my house, they are hooking it up tomorrow. I told my wife we are still keeping Starlink as a backup. We looks power a lot, I told her when the power goes out, we will loose the fiber internet. We have a whole house generator, once it kicks in, we will still have internet because of Starlink.

Joe, interesting information. We're on 10 acres in the country about 40 miles NW of Bryan/College Station, TX. We finally got Starlink (Gen 2) just under 3 years ago after being on the waiting list for a year, and after suffering with ViaSat and HughesNet for almost 10 years! In the past couple of months I've started noticing some programs buffering, even midweek during the day. Historically we've been seeing high 80 to 90 Mbps up/roughly 20 Mbps down with latency in the mid 30 ms range. I wonder why folks with ready access to cable or fibre are getting on Starlink, but who really knows?! Texas initiated a "Rural Broadband" program around 6 years ago, but we've seen no action on it other than the creation of another bureaucratic office in Austin. No telling how long it will be until we get a functional system/network from that program.

Assuming I read and understand correctly; is that the roam plan allows for pausing the service. We have a cabin in a rural area that we only go to occasionally. If you hit the timing correctly, you could theoretically use 8 months of service for basically the same as the $120/month plan. I understand that a month begun could be a month charged. But for us right now we barely make it every other month or so. Could you delve into the roam plan more deeply?
