Originally posted by garywakeling I had a similar problem Racer, stuck with no fibre, adsl and on satellite with our government supplied internet system , then along came Elon and Starlink, 100Gig up to 250Gig downloads, streaming services, fast loading web pages, just a game changer for me, well worth the extra dollars per month
I wish.
We can get Hughes Net, but it is expensive, has bandwidth and throughput limitations, and the cost goes up dramatically when one exceeds the limits. Plus, you have to lease their equipment. A neighbor had it, and ditched it because of the costs.
Starlink still is unavailable on the West coast (Washington, Oregon and California) according to the website, but "planned expansion, 2023!"
In fact, most of the US is still not served.
And the cost.
$600 for the equipment.
$110 a month, once the service is available.
$99 deposit now, with no firm date on availability.
Sheesh!
