That's pretty respectable

Want. How do I get signed up and running?

I have to drive downtown to my office to work b/c our internet is so bad.

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.

That's a bit too far north right now. I would still apply right now so at least you are on the list.

was doing some reading/watching of reviews of people who are on the beta, and it sounds like weather is affecting them quite a bit, snow storm/clouds in Montana dropped speeds down to 0.3Mbps

Thanks for the links.. I went through and signed up, they sent me an email subscription, don't see a login for the sign in.. Do the Vet you for Beta testing b4 you can subscribe?

Hows it been working? I have a friend in Southern MB who got it yesterday and he said it worked well, video calls actually worked him..

I'm at 51.064 so see if I make the cut.

just got this email back from starlink:


Starlink is designed to deliver high speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable.
Our Starlink team will notify you via email when service becomes available in your area, and keep you aware of general Starlink news and progress.
Thank you for your support and your continued interest in Starlink!



Does that mean its unavailable or does it just take time to get back too you with an answer?

I haven't been able to do a speed test in a heavy snow event but we had a light snow of about 1cm and did not see any speed difference. Even with a small accumulation of snow on the dish. The wind has been really bad lately as well and the antenna seems to be holding up.

I wasn't able to log in to the starlink website until they sent me the invite. You're really close to the border of current coverage so it will be interesting to see if you can get in. I think the idea is that they won't select any address that they know won't have an acceptable signal.

That is just the generic response everyone gets. How many degrees north are you?
