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. Deliver scalable GA and I'll subscribe.

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).
Just curious. What is your avg ping for starlink? I'm looking forward to my future farmhouse and the ability to play ranked valorant on it.
Probably good enough, biggest pain is finding a view without obstructions from trees.
Why would this have lower latency?

Personally, pushing docker images to AWS
You're constantly pushing to ECR so much that it saturates a 40Mbps+ upload consistently 24/7? I fear for your bills, god speed.
That part doesn’t seem to come anywhere from the previous conversation?
$500/month for 350Mbps! What exactly is Elon been smoking?! Okay, it's mobile... given you have electricity, of course, but if you have electricity, won't you have other options as well?
No. There's a huge chunk of North America by area that does not have 100+mbit/sec broadband.
Most of those areas don't have huge population, but those who are there sometimes are there for good reasons.
Starlink is wonderful for those people.
There are a lot of people who have delusions that Starlink is going to have a significant impact on mainstream wireline broadband providers, which is absurd, but there's a lot of the world that still has nothing even close to what this service offers.
If (and this is a massive IF) they get the laser linking working it'll be huge for the aviation and marine worlds but even as is it's the best thing to happen to rural broadband service in years.

Personally I hope they get mobile service for RVs working soon, all I need to work is reliable low-latency internet access so if I can theoretically get it from anywhere in the country I am free.
$500 deposit, $2500 total cost for the dish, $500/mo for the service. Looks like it's targeting the enterprise market. The dish cost is probably closer to the actual value of the dish. The original dish we bought for $500 I think I read actually cost closer to $3k for them to manufacture (I'm not an expert on this)? Regular service is $500 for a dish and $99 a month which is a great deal for 50-200mbps at pretty low…
The question in my head is whether Starlink is going to slow down their $100-tier signups if they start seeing enough $500-tier signups. People have been waiting for years to get Starlink. If they start getting lots of $500-tier interest, it seems like they'd prioritize those users for new signups.

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.
Why even write that if you aren't going to say what their response was?
Otherwise he'd have something about it.
