Hmm, damn, so for someone who wants to be a "digital nomad" a cell hotspot is probably still the best option.
RTFT - read the fucking thread man, all covered already

This is what I'm afraid of. According to the IT guys at my GF's work, they paid $599 and got it in 2 weeks. When I put in my address my only option is the $99 deposit.Still waiting on mine. Been on the waiting list for over a year and my account says to expect coverage mid to late 2021. Elon tweeted a couple months ago to expect a full rollout by the end of August….so don’t hold your breath I guess.
You are only going to get Starlink when the swarm of satellites can provide your part of the country with adequate reliable coverage, and even then this is still a Beta program. From my understanding the coverage is basically coming from north to south, and I was on the waiting list maybe 9 months or so before they were made available in northern colorado.This is what I'm afraid of.

No, our zips are not the same. My house is 20ish miles north of her work. My house is rural and her work is in a city of about 50k people.You are only going to get Starlink when the swarm of satellites can provide your part of the country with adequate reliable coverage, and even then this is still a Beta program.

Is your zip the same as your girlfriends work zip?
We are on a waiting list for the mobile units for the race trailer, we even have software developed for it, for data collection and transmission straight to race vehicles. We have been told it may take another 18 months to get the prototype unit to us, again something, something, coverage, something, southern states last, something, something.
where the hell are they manufacturing these satellites?
I’m still waiting also. Says mid to late 21’
My att fixed wireless has been down for just over 2weeks. 4 techs, nearly 12hrs of their time at my house and they still can’t figure out why it won’t work.
This can’t come quick enough.
signal strength plays a big part in fade.I live south of St. Louis about 40 miles and have been running Starlink since March. It has been awesome. No DSL where I live and just barely too far down the hillside for fixed wireless. and I had used Exced, and then AT&T wireless home internet. Both could barely handle steaming and had data caps.
I will see download speeds between 150 and 200mbs during non peak times and 30-80 during peak times, but they have been improving. Drop-outs and no sat issues have been decreasing as well. I am a little disappointed in the rain fade, people online act like it takes a monsoon to knock out the signal, but to me all it takes is what I would call a normal downpour, but I'm sure people have different ways of describing a downpour.
Odd on the rain comment. I’ve purposely run speed tests during downpours here and still been in the 20 to 25 MB down range every time. If this thunderstorm we are supposed to get sometime today hits ilol run another one and report the results.I live south of St. Louis about 40 miles and have been running Starlink since March.

I don't know what is more of a sore subject, that AT&T bullshit or fucking hueghsnet
I got duped into the AT&T to replace hueghsnet, guy came out. Ran tests, it was streaming great, so we did it. Worked so good that day, I recommended it to 2 other people who only had satalite as an option. Since that day, it's never worked good at all. It will sometimes work fine, but right in the middle of a movie or whatever, it just stops, will not do anything. It was also worthless for web surfing and wifi calling.
Our new place is in town, a small town, but I figured some type of reliable internet would be available. Everyone said no. Then talked to a different person at ziply fiber (bought out frontier) and found out we can get internet..........fucking 3mps 
The stupid part is, the guy I talked to was at my buddies rural property, 20 miles from town and really anything. They get 25 mps
Seeing this thread, I feel like I should just wait for stark link.
It’s so frustrating. Been over 2 weeks and they have no solution. Idiot call center says they need to send a tech out and tech says I can’t fix it. We had it fine for 1 1/2 yrs.
Wtf. 😂Well at least you aren't calling a lawyer yet. My friends had it none functional for 5-6 months and they were still charging their card.![]()
