Very interested can you tell a a bit more about it. likes dislikes costs etc....
How many devices can you connect to the modem?
Nearly 2 years later still on the wait list...Tagging @creekx in this as he was also very much aware and interested in the technology. It wasn't quite ready last year but a lot of progress with access has been made in just a year.
Put it on top of a pole?We tried the Starlink system at our place on the river but had to return it due to the huge trees blocking the satellites. Our house is in a hole in the middle of 100'+ trees so no love for us. The signal would be cutting in and out every minute or two. Our neighbors have more open space around their house and it works great for them. It's been a game-changer for their family.
If anyone is interested in Starlink, you can download the app and run the satellite finder from where you will put the small dish and it'll tell you whether it will work well or not.
We're looking at taking out some trees so may give it another go next year.
Yeah my thoughts too: elevation when possible. We had to do that outside Fairbanks just to get a baseline ping. (Hughes/Irridium/MilSat) Otherwise our dishes would have been at full depression to access the birds. (not good for cable connections.)Put it on top of a pole?
Yea we have to do the same thing to get inline with the signal being rural, now if the dickhead local cop would just cut, or let us cut the scrubby tree/brush that's blocking our signal things would be a lot better in the neighborhoodYeah my thoughts too: elevation when possible.

Wouldn't help in our current situation. Our house is in a small open area surrounded by very large fully mature Sitka Spruce, Hemlock and Doug Fir, and Big Leaf Maples. I got on top of the house and the Starlink app was pretty clear that it wasn't going to work well.Put it on top of a pole?
Nice place, and great photo!Wouldn't help in our current situation. Our house is in a small open area surrounded by very large fully mature Sitka Spruce, Hemlock and Doug Fir, and Big Leaf Maples. I got on top of the house and the Starlink app was pretty clear that it wasn't going to work well.
If we cut down a bigger circle of trees, a pole might be an option but the current 24MBps via DSL isn't preventing me from doing anything right now. Works fine for work via Teams and we don't watch much TV or streaming out there. 1st world problems...

There's no town or county office of code compliance that would give you a permit ? Sounds hokey one local yokel cop has the authority to tell you no, unless hes your neighbor and the trees are on his land.Yea we have to do the same thing to get inline with the signal being rural, now if the dickhead local cop would just cut, or let us cut the scrubby tree/brush that's blocking our signal things would be a lot better in the neighborhood

I live in a rural zip code of 10 acre-plus parcels and lots of farmland. No idea why I'm still waiting.
Yep, it's on a scrubby overgrown little corner of his land. It's not even a nice conifer.There's no town or county office of code compliance that would give you a permit ? Sounds hokey one local yokel cop has the authority to tell you no, unless hes your neighbor and the trees are on his land.
Ahhh ...that's gonna be tough to solveYep, it's on a scrubby overgrown little corner of his land. It's not even a nice conifer.
