There is enough people in Alberta getting over 150mbps it really peaked my interest.
With the Telus hub I was already paying $100 per month for 25mbps(clamped) and 1 TB.
So for $30 a month I am getting internet that is 6x faster and no data limit.

I'm going to wait for a little while as I would like to be able to take the system to the lake. Right now this is not an option from what i have read, but maybe available in the future.

I've heard the same that it's geolocked, but hopefully as you say in the future they will make it more dynamic.

I'm more curious to see what actually happens when they get all these subscribers online if the speeds are going to go down or not......
Uptime is key for me, there are two of us working from home, I need to be sure that we can be online 8-4 Monday through Friday.

Anybody on here have one of these setup around lake wabamun or lake Isle? If so how is it? I would like to get one for my lakehouse. Thanks

I just got my email invite, my questions are; does the cost of the hardware include installation/ setup? With my Shaw satellite, if I have an issue with the hardware it’s replaced for free, does starlink do this as well?
I haven’t clicked on the link yet, as it says you only have a 15 minute window to complete the signup once you start. I’ll maybe have to call them tomorrow and see if they can enlighten me

No, you have to set it up yourself. (it's easy but any electrician/communications person could do it if you didn't want to). Just need a 7/8" hole to poke through.
I would imagine with a hardware issue they would send you new stuff. Have not read about many but all things created by humans can fail at one point or another.
