Hopefully they'll get the in motion stuff going soon. I'd be the first to buy the new equipment.

I'm not surprised. Starlink in struggling. Our service dropped to 1.6Mbps during evening hours.

Rumor they are going to throttle speeds unless you pay more.

An "Unsubstantiated" rumor i might add. When ask the answer was "NO" and we don't know how it got started. Further research find they have actually LOWERD prices. in some areas .. This is still in its infancy and already has launched over 2,000 Functional Satellite . I wish other busines models were so aggressive and successful as this . This is the future as eventually dated cell towers will go the way of Dial up AOL... The only reason the major carriers cling to there model is they already have Millions invested in it and still has a great deal of life expectancy left it there hardware. And why they are fighting Musk any chance they get...

Except for the fact that cell signals can and do work in places that satellite cannot.

Each technology has its advantages and limitations.

I foresee needing a cellular connection for a long time. Starlink is great when trees or obstacles aren't a factor.
