#12What 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. Deliver scalable GA and I'll subscribe.
Sam here, still no news on the original order.

It costs a lot of money to send satellites to space

> 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. 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…

I read the current Starlink system has a limitation where if you move outside of your assigned service "cell", you lose service. Guessing this is still the case.

I have one and it's really great. Went from high latency 10mbps (calnet) to low latency 150mbps (starlink). Prior to calnet we had geostationary satellite which was unusably bad and would try to tether through Verizon but signal was very weak.
It's life changing if you're in an area without other options (though it does suck it's taking a long time for people to get access).

#18Ordered it. I work from home in a rural area that gets only 40 mbps. No brainer.

#19I 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.
You have obstructions. I spent weeks getting mine to work right and had to top a couple of trees and build a custom pole mount to get it even higher on the roof. Being in a remote site around Vancouver, you're probably dealing with lots of tall trees too.

#20$500/mo.? That's a steep, 400% increase from the base $100/mo. tier. When are we getting Starlink Plus?
