Sister lives in the sticks and got Starlink a few months ago. I set it up for them and it was super simple and pretty fun. It screams and I’d highly recommend.

I have Starlink at home and for the RV. Both are great. I have not noticed any throttling, but evening satellite swap/drops happening more than before - still not very bad. We stream for everything and the speed and bandwidth are plenty for us even when our gen z kids are here on the phones constantly.

The RV deal is cool. Just plan ahead. You can pause anytime, but if you get to close to billing date, you may end up paying for another month anyway.

Lemme know if you ever need a "parallel to USB" cable.... I know someone who might have one in a box in the garage... He's also waiting for this guy to appear in his garage saying, "We don't need 7 different lengths of Cat 5/RCA cables 'just in case'"

Throttling starts at 1 TB. We have three at work, 2 RV 1 Business and have not been throttled.

Teaching my almost 15 year old to drive and realized my wife and I both have push button start vehicles. Kids soon will not know what a keyed ignition switch was.

What do you mean? Upload speeds are good as well.

My understanding (many years ago) was satellite internet being great down, but either lacking or very weak at uploading. I was wondering how it is now, or if still the same how do you work around. I simply didn’t know.

Gotcha. Starlink uses low level satellites; lots of them. Upload speeds are very good.
