Default StarLink is Up!
Hooked up my StarLink terminal today, not much to it. It auto-located the satellites, and then I had to enter a SSID and password. That was it.


Microwave/cell link - 15ms lat, 24.5Mbps down, 9.6Mbps up


Starlink - 24ms lat, 312Mbps down, 20Mbps up




Damn, I'll see if it goes down as others come up on the net and how the weather affects it.

internet - all ya can eat today (no limit's yet) for $99/mo. Speed above posted~ 300+ Mb/s download.

Truly addresses the un-served, under-served and HughesNet users that have no or little data options.

Bro in No Wisc/ UP has it and now watches Prime, Netflix, Hulu, USTV.GO, Pluto, iMDB, Tubi etc.... before, never had but one local OTA station and data was a wireless cell phone Verizon puck

Not a bad price for equipment either at 500 plus shipping and taxes.
I'm going to consider it.
