My son had it for 2 or months then Spectrum brought fiber out there which was 4X better.

Thanks Kennerdude good info.

I've had it now for almost 2 years. It's fantastic. Never a hick-up always works and the speeds are the best I've seen. I can't wait until they come out with the new sat phone!

I was at Best Buy returning some worthless ROKU speakers. They had Starlink on the shelf. $299.


Musk dropped the price from $500.

Interesting Starlink facts.

Starlink satellites in orbit = 6281

Starlink satellite lifespan = 5 years

Starlink satellite cost = $200,000 each

Starlink satellite orbit = once around the earth every 90 minutes.

4x better in terms of speed? 4x faster? That sounds exaggerated to me.

Advertised download speeds:

• StarLink: Up to 220 Mbps
• Spectrum Fiber: Up to 1,000 Mpbs

Almost 2 miles closer to the satellites than here in Houston…..lol.

It’s niche is areas where there isn’t any decent internet service.

I live in the country my internet is 10mbps for $105. I am concerned with dropped signal in bad weather.

I had Starlink at my old house. It was the best thing we could get and it was great compared to Verizons service. New house we have ATT 1Gig Fiber. Absolutely blows Starlink out of the water. I average 400 mbps down and 300 up wireless. My sons Xbox is wired and it averages 850.

If Starlink was all I could get I would never hesitate.

I have my daughter who is purchasing it tonight. So you should have one referral soon.
