#2I believe that this is new. I received an email from them about opening orders by address on a first come first serve basis with $99 deposit.

They started this about a week ago.

#4100$ a month. Plus a 600$ fee to buy the hardware.
i think they said 50mbps - 150mpbs
It's a little on the pricey side but at least, as far I know, it's not comcast or at&t.

#5This is great. I'm glad this project is coming along fast.
I'm hoping some time soon that the fixed location requirement is lifted, or at the very least they allow users to sign up to it as a sort of mobile service. I know it isn't handheld, but for people who move around a lot and especially who work in remote outdoor situations, the ability to move around with this service would be amazing.
I'm sure at some point, when they do have the satellite to satellite links in the sky and there aren't ground station bottlenecks they will. High speed internet on the oceans or for travelers in rural areas is an untouched market.

#7Many years ago I played a very small part in this adventure. It's great to finally see it coming online.

#8Has anyone analysed Starlink in terms of jitter and packet loss yet? Seems like every source so far only shows average ping and down/up speed.

It’s not really meant to compete with cable/fiber. This is for people stuck with geo stationary trash, dsl, microwave relay, etc. It’s a massive market and can take SpaceX to a trillion dollar company easily without ever stealing a cable customer.
