I do like the speeds it's supposed to be able to achieve compared to 10m down and 2 up I have now. Makes streaming kinda suck.There is a discussion on Irate4x4 about Starlink. It sounds great.
Anyone running Starlink internet yet?
So Starlink has been rolling out the Beta of it's Starlink satellite internet to people that had signed up. They are reporting 100mbs down and 17mbs up. Costs are $499 for equipment and $99 a month for service with unlimited data. I signed up up but haven't heard anything back yet. I'd...
We're in the same boat, only thing available is dsl and it's terrible. Cable ends 3 power poles up the road and they've quoted us insane prices to run to us. We're not in the service area for the starlink testing last time I looked.
1 bar. Have to walk outside to make a call. My house is a geographical oddity.
@tknopp Steve was 1 of 3 Youtuber's that posted about it last week and that was all I needed to see!
Have you tried an external antenna or a different provider?
Friends that come over that use different providers have the same problem. Haven't tried an antenna. Would that even make a difference? One kid online games and we may have up to 2 tv's streaming at the same time. It doesn't work out so well. Would a 1-2 bar cell signal (outside) be able to keep up with that? I'm all for something better since what I have is total shit to begin with.
Yeah its uverse. Literally it's the only option we have. Suck because a fiber node is less than a half mile away and we aren't worthy. Our physical lines have been cut and spliced hundreds of times as they were run down the middle of the road under the gravel. So yeah they get washed out, cut, graded over and the cycle continues.
Have friend that wasn't worth the provider running fiber to them.
Ouch. Not paying that up front. Nope. I'm only inside in the evenings 1/3 of the year to watch TV anyways. Everyone else can suffer for that much $.
Been at least 5 years back, when Fiber Conduit got laid all over Mount Holly, even in my front yard. Didn't know Who it was for, but as far as I know, it's never been activated. Look up my address on AT&T & still get "Not available". I'm Wired in, but my closet main junction it 200' from me. The couple times I had problems, they come check the house, & then go back to the main box. Bingo! Plus AT&T has a Large building, downtown, that everything runs through.
AT&T ran fiber down the road in front of our house last summer. My wife talked to the installers and they said we should be able to connect soon. She kept calling and getting the no service at your address. She finally talked to someone in engineering and found out it was a dedicated business line for someone a mile down the road and we could get a dedicated line also for like $10k and $500/month service...
Same. Paid the $99 today after another discussion about it. I'll bump this thread in 6 months when my equipment comes in and it's up and running.
Give me an address or a general area and I can tell you what to expect. 1 to 2 bars doesn't really matter much when talking about digital signal. Its either there, or not so it could still work. We usually see from 60 to 100 mbps on most towers, up to 4-500mbs on upgraded anchor sites.
