Starlink- Elons internet

So took the plunge and installed Starlink dish (i live in a place that has no telephone wires let alone fibre)

Been running for a week and its impressive- stable snd delivers between 50mgps and 250mgps (12 hour average 80 mgps with 9 seconds outage) latency is typically 30 to 40 milliseconds.

Not cheap but good, anyone else got one?

…… What’s a mgps? 😬

Anyway…. It sounds cool and certainly an option for those very remote users – especially when the “new” terminals come out at a much lower cost.

You have watched ‘Kingsmen’ haven’t you 😯

Install a new internet and before you know it you’re in a huge fight down at the beach.

What’s a mgps?

milli grams per second

L33tspeak for ‘Magpies’

One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy…. 50 to 250 for media streaming and gaming.

Nah, they’re measured in FPS.

Sorry technical folks mbps…..

Nice work!

Nowadays internet is a must have.

How much per month?

Don’t worry about the entire astronomical community complaining about it ruining observations/photography etc

He’s only planning to launch 42,000 satellites into a low orbit, I can’t see how there could be any problems at all with that.

£85 quid a month not cheap, but VAT snd tax knock it back to acceptable

Starlink works great until the cats find out that the dish gives off a little heat on cold days. pic.twitter.com/uyH3Kbqrie
