The:

> UNLIMITED SERVICE LOCATIONS

Almost seems designed to get people's hopes up only to squash them again. What people have been asking for is an RV/camping/sailing Starlink they can use moving, and that product has yet to materialize.

Announcing that:

> Order as many Starlinks as needed and manage all of your service locations, no matter how remote, from a single account.

Is niche, and is only going to confuse people waiting for true travel-Starlink.

I access a remote site near Vancouver with starlink and we have another satellite internet service there too. The starlink cuts out for 5-15s every 3-7 minutes. Makes talking on voip very frustrating. The old satellite with 700ms latency is better for me.

What used to be "by mid to late 2021" is now "late 2022" for my location.

I'm not shelling out another $400 for nothing. In fact, this reminded me to cancel my pre-order. Thank you! $99 back in my pocket.

Over two years ago I emailed them about "sailing" starlink and actually got a decent reply back about it but have never seen anything else about it.

What an odd comment. Seems like a narrow way to blame the marketing. And, a narrow way to cherry pick what doesn't fit your description of what Starlink should be and shouldn't be. In truth, Starlink is an absolute game changer for the entire world. Mobile or not. I think you need to think about rural people that have to deal with shitty DSL. 20-40 ms (You can go on YT and find people benchmarking it - average I've seen is around 40-50 ms [1]) ping is amazing and 350 mbps is exceptional compared to the status quo.

Also others complaining about delays is strange. It's a fricking satellite constellation in the sky. Give them some time and slack.
