Our line of sight internet was down for 2 days this week. Im sick and tired of paying $100 for 7mbps internet so I placed a starlink order. Got a email the next day saying we should have our starlink on Tuesday. Less than 5 business days. .

any idea how far from your service address will starllink work? We have a residential address that shows when I type it in but have a place 30 km away that it doesn’t show. Was thinking to just register to our home and take to second location. Reading starlink it says will not work if moved?

Go to http://www.starlink.com to sign up.
You will need to enter an address if you're in a rural location using a plus code. To do this go to https://www.google.com/maps. Find your location, drop a pin by clicking and holding at the location you are at. After you drop the pin you should have something like this on the left side....

Copy and paste this into the address section on the starlink website. If you have any problems just PM me.
Ha this worked perfect unfortunately says will be active mid to late 2021.

Mike had mine at his house for about 1.5 months while he did his course he's 11 km from my location, it worked then, not as good as my location but manageable.

Don't understand how some areas get set up right away and some don't. Looks like north and south of me are good to go but I've been waiting since Feb.

Starlink is available to a limited number of users per coverage area at this time. Orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis.

A neighbor was waiting for months he canceled his order. Reordered and it was here in a couple weeks. Might be worth a try.

Gave my deposit back when first started beta testing and still haven’t got it other people around me have it and I’m right in the zone also thinking of canceling and reordering. Very frustrating as what we have is next to useless with xplodnet
