Starlink

[ABMax24]

Yeah watched that last night. Seems they finally figured out how to keep fuel supplied to the engines during re-light and landing burn. I see they also lit all 3 engines this time instead of 2, and then shut 2 down and landed on one.

60 more Starlink satellites launched this morning.

 

[jhurkot]

2 more launches coming soon. March 9 and March 13. 60 Satellites on each.

Ordered mine yesterday, telus wasn't fast enough and very expensive. Our sat system is ok, 89/month unlimited but not consistent enough.

I used Ron's for a few days now. Microsoft teams running steady all day and all kinds of online Nait stuff at the same time. I wouldn't call it flawless,but there's no way I could do it with the Telus hub. The speed really fluctuates and sometimes drops right out,but just for a few seconds. And if they are actually geo "tuned" it would probably be a lot better if it was actually "home". I'm about 6 miles south of him and he was getting waaaaay higher speed there before I stole it. 32Mbps right now

I read an article the other day that they are ramping up production on the hardware, they definitely were not ready from a supply standpoint to "go live" with it when they did.

If anyone wants to watch the starlink launch tonight at 7:50 PM here is the link for the live stream...

I know a guy In Edson that got one. He’s getting 80mbps. Pretty impressive considering its pointed at a flat earth antenna.

The hardware is very good quality the only issue is the cable ends are solid with being attached to the dish and the other end having a large cat 7 end, both ends molded to cable. So I can install mine through the back of roof vent and into my attic and above my pantry without seeing any holes. But you will need a 3/4" hole. Mike has my dish till the end of the month so I have snow internet for a while.

Thanks, I notice there is some curvature to the earth in that picture, good, someone is convinced the earth is flat, but that's a conspiracy theory thread so much expected.
These dishes are the ticket.

The connector is like 0.76" so if you are going through something thin you can cheat and ream with a 3/4 bit, but if you have to go through a long ways (I had to drill through 10 inches of concrete) you'll definitely just want to use 7/8" hole.

Must have been some kind of delay.

Interesting, 42000 satellites

Yeah.. pushed back until the 11th. Not sure why.

Probably some satellite's in the way.

Needed more time to fake the launch for the flat heads

I wonder how many are actually out there

I'm not doubting the quality. I'm saying they didn't have enough to supply for the demand of orders they are getting.

Put a pre-order in last Thursday. Bought a cabin and don't want to have to go with Xplornet. Hopefully it'll ship sooner than later.
