Does anyone have Starlink?

Another outage started half an hour ago

Will be joining the Starlink family in a few weeks when my kit arrives. Been having weekly DSL and phone outages that last up to 2 days. The last outage Monday afternoon which lasted into Tuesday afternoon tipped my hand and I ordered the kit, ETA is last week of this month. The $299 kit price must of been what a lot of people needed to make the jump. And what I am paying for 3 Mbps speed is outrageous. So planning on after I get the Starlink setup, and move my antivirus from the phone company then will be porting the landline to a cell. I think my phone, plus internet, plus antivirus with their added little easter egg charges is $228/month.

I was getting 2mbps on a good day with DSL. Most days was 1.5. Starlink generally gets 120mbps.

You will like Starlink. A bit pricey, but it can also go with you. And the speed is excellent

I would average 2.7, which was fine for forums, email, and youtube. But don't try to use a second device at the same time

There has to be something weird going on. All my devices work great with starlink

I'm not sure what was going on. But I connected my PC and PS5router with the ethernet cable, and it jumped up to the 100's mbps.

My internet life is good now.

Funny thing, I just got a bill from my last DSL ISP. It was $190. This is the 2nd time they've sent me this, after I disconnect it and gave all their equipment back. Which was before the start of the next month.

I thought this bannana republic had both the worst & most expensive internet on the planet
Up until the war inUkraine my usual web consumption was about 10GB /month .
Like you I had an ASDL connection that was pretty bad often dipping into kbs territory
However changes in the tax department forced me to buy a new smart phone so for a long time I have been using the 5Gb of included data bundled with my phone that I only ever use to connect to the tax department with when the DSL line speed was way too slow .
Then for a wile I was just hot linking both phones , 5Gb on one & 3Gb on the other plus speeds of 8 Mbs to 12 Mbs during school hours .
So the 2 phones were $ 29 / month , the ADSL was $ 45 / month so I bought a 3rd Sim card an a $ 200/ year plan which gave me 12 GB of data for $ 46 / month.
If I was to buy mobile internet it would have cost $ 65 / month for 20 Gb
