Starlink

I pulled the trigger on the 16th , order is still pending, wth, credit card was charged within seconds of me hitting the buy it now button. Anybody else have a significant delay with their order status?

From the time I ordered the dish till I received the notice it was being delivered was about 2 weeks, then got a fedex tracking number on Feb 12, was to be at my mailbox on Wednesday, now its Saturday and still says in California and its beyond there control. I'm now emailing back to the Dish company to see if they can send me replacement as even calling Fedex they cant find where it is. Probably stuck on a crashed semi somewhere.

Fedex now saying shipped Feb 11, and its now in Memphis Tennessee as of Tues Feb 16, and to be delivered, states [h=4]STANDARD TRANSIT[/h]2/17/21 by 8:00 pm

So who knows now.

Mine was about 8-10 business days from the time it hit the first shipping facility.

Funny did it a couple times and even faster up to 160 Mbps. Wow

 

[Tchetek]

They braced us with calling it the better than nothing program. But I’m still gonna be able to beater like the city folk!

Appears to be at the bottom end of what they said to expect @ 50 - 150 at my location but It will likely get better as they continue to launch.

 

[rknight111]

It go’s all over the place, do it a few times and take an average. Seem to get better as I was doing it. Like it was warming up lol

Yes that is a fastest speed for my CCI Wireless plan. Was uploading 280 pics and 12 videos to dropbox from my computer for a claim I'm working on, said it would take 12 hours it was 3/4 done, had some pics that didn't work too.

So opened this box around 10 pm and put this thing on my deck. Did the cell phone locate thing which was about 15 seconds, then just ran the cable in through the patio door. Dish started moving by it self and whala! Deleted then uploaded all the pics and videos in about 2 minutes. I'll mount it on my roof and run the cable in as the previous one runs through the back of a roof vent. I have to try something first, going to take it over to many numbers place tonight, lets see what happens if it will work there.

How far north are you ?

 

[rknight111]

How far north are you ?

Your asking Tchetek I see but will say for reference, My location is basically 2 km north of Yellowhead trail on RR20, Parkland County, and it works good here. We will try it at many numbers place tonight hes probably south about 8 km.

Well I’m gonna have to put some money down on this, it seems to be working really good for those of you that have it. Be nice to tell Telus to shove the hub up their azz. Looks like it’s not available here yet but hopefully will be soon.

At this time there is nothing wrong with that and as you say it will improve as they add more satellites. Better than your previous I’m sure.
