Game changer for rural living...

I emailed tech and asked if the unit could be transferred - they replied that the dish is linked to a sat so pending the lat/long of the new location you may not be able to receive the signal, as more Sats go up they would be providing additional options for mobility..

Mounted on the roof of the camper and let the adventure begin...always be connected so work would hardly know..

I'm sorry you have to suffer these injustices.

I think Morinville area could be a ways out yet (53.7 North).

I wonder why someone would want that service in Morinville. I live there and Shaw and Telus are well established.

Not if they're rural.

Yeah, I watched that one. I don't like the idea of a proprietary cable and having to plug everything into the Starlink router. Its questionable if you are going to be able to use your own device in a "passthrough" mode.

True. Disconnect at dish would be nice because the fun I had fishing that cable through 50 feet of developed basement ceiling was not something I want to experience twice.

Just got this update email at 4:08pm today...my delivery date bumped from 3rd quarter 2021 to sometime in 2022.

Thank you for being a supporter of Starlink! Over 14 million people have inquired about Starlink service in their area and today Starlink is available in over 20 countries (and counting). The Starlink team has been working hard to expand service and increase capacity while continuously improving quality of service. We will be able to accommodate more users per area as we increase the number of satellites in orbit. Check delivery timelines in your account Silicon shortages over the last 6 months have slowed our expected production rate and impacted our ability to fulfill many Starlink orders this year. We apologize for the delay and are working hard across our engineering, supply chain, and production teams to improve and streamline our product and factory to increase our production rate. You can check estimated delivery times by logging into your account page on Starlink.com. You will still receive an email from the Starlink team when your order is ready to ship, and you may cancel your order at any time for a full refund of your deposit. Latest Starlink now in production We recently released the latest version of Starlink which was designed for high volume manufacturing. The latest version of Starlink has comparable performance to the previous version and will begin to ship globally next year. Expanding to more countries across the world Since our October 2020 launch in the United States we have expanded our service to 20 additional countries: Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Austria, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Switzerland, Portugal, Chile, Poland, Italy, Czech Republic, Mexico, Sweden, and Croatia. Pending regulatory approval, we are planning to launch in an additional 45+ new countries by the end of 2022. More satellites in orbit with newer technology We recently completed our 31st Starlink launch with our latest generation of satellites that are equipped with inter-satellite laser links, which enable our satellites to transfer data between each other. Once fully deployed, inter-satellite laser links will make Starlink one of the fastest options available to transfer data around the world. Thank you for your continued support! The Starlink Team
