Starlink

[Dragonalain]

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.

Currently my downloads are at around 160 - 180 mbps, and Up around 20 - 35 mbps, I don't really see interruptions anymore, this seems to be way more solid since installation. Very happy I got this when I did.

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.

I’m about 15 km west of stony plain and 2 km north of yellowhead trail. I was in the beta test program, now I think there in full motion.

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 in Feb and still waiting also…

 

[Squireller]

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

 

[catalac]

I can get at my house in town I might order and see if I can even get the hardware, would make my day to cancel my telus rip off service.

Lord Elon has provided. Goodbye Xplornet.
This is before and after, and we were on Viasat’s satellite internet.
