RZR guy, NO I am not gay..
i think it was this thread or somewhere else on IBB that it's not really a satellite problem now, it's having enough chips to build boxes for customers to use the service?
1 year of waiting and we're finally going to have real internet!Last Feb pre-ordered 2. One for home, where we have zero options other than Sat or spotty LTE. One for our summer campground that was Sat only until we got a 2mb local WISP option this year.
Of course campground one came first in June. It's amazingly fast, simple, and cheap.
Home one, which we could really use, is delayed again until early next year.
Those 2 locations are less than 40 miles apart as the crow flies. After we closed camp for the year, I tried the dishy at home. No joy.
Internet said we could move our location and try, but we'd lose our original slot, so I'm not willing to risk it.
Who cares about the $99? Ya'll must have some decent options already.
what part of the Country are you in?1 year of waiting and we're finally going to have real internet!
Just got notified they shipped my new dishy. 3+ years of spotty LTE. Seriously only 2 out of 4 us can be using the internet at once. Even then it
s a crap shoot.
I never realized how streaming was supposed to work until we got Starlink at our camp.
Pretty sure Sceep's issue was not a supply issue on the dish/equipment, but not enough coverage in his area due to having too many existing customers. The earlier issue Starlink was having was a satellite supply issue and that's what kept them from so many launches last year. That seems to be over now as they are launching pretty frequently now.i think it was this thread or somewhere else on IBB that it's not really a satellite problem now, it's having enough chips to build boxes for customers to use the service?
It's also only $25 if you already have a phone on a 5G plan and if you set it up on auto pay. With out those two requirements it's $80 per month. Still not bad though.Just checked on that verizon 5g thing too and "not available in my area" Beeeotch, I can see the damn tower right over there!![]()
same, I just checked and it said the same thing.Just checked on that verizon 5g thing too and "not available in my area" Beeeotch, I can see the damn tower right over there!![]()
PNW, East side of WA.what part of the Country are you in?
I cannot wait to get mine! I am also on LTE with a Jetpack and it is shitty as fuck, I've been in this house for 9 years, never had good internet.
I wonder if that has to do with my glitches. When I was picking up my setup from the freight depot. There was a huge pile of Spacex boxes so lots online now around me.Pretty sure Sceep's issue was not a supply issue on the dish/equipment, but not enough coverage in his area due to having too many existing customers.

frontier is running fiber right now in my town.I have seen tons of people post up that phone and cable companies are running fiber all over the place now. Its amazing how a little bit of actual competition lights a fire under their ass.
Fkn A.I ordered mine Sunday after the dish network tech that was at the house fixing our hughes net was raving about it. I got tracking Tuesday afternoon. Shit will be here Monday.![]()
We went over it in the other, non-repost, starlink thread.Surpriced to see that Nobody has posted this little gem in the thread yet;

A local telephone company sent out a letter to a bunch of rural residences (including mine) in an area that probably has about 1000 households last fall. They are running fiber this spring. You had to sign up by October something last year. You also had to commit to a 2 year contract. It was something like $100 for 10GB, up to $260 for unlimited data, speeds typical of fiber. I'm assuming this plan was hatched around the time we were talking "infrastructure funding" in congress. I'm happy with the (yes I know how much .gov tax credit money Musk has been able to absorb) mostly free market Starlink.frontier is running fiber right now in my town.
They're just 10 years late to the party.
edit:
a lot of it had to do with how much money they could get from the .gov to subsidize the installation and of course that money is flowing right now.
They're still saying Apr 2022 for our order, so fingers crossed.

We're still onboard since the 3mbps down DSL provider is jacking us for $99/mo at the proposed site.

I know jack schit about fiber but if there was one on my property line it might get accidentally severed one day so it might be easier to tie into it while they repair it?Watched them run a fiber optic line just south of my property line, but I can't tie into it
well this thread gets more traffic and is the one i have alerts on,We went over it in the other, non-repost, starlink thread.

I signed up after reading this thread last March. Took one year to get service as I just got the hardware this week. Worth the wait with my limited options.I’m in KS. Waiting near a year thus far.
