Same here. Got February as well.

Me too.

Wow, this is forever waiting for all of you. Glad I got mine in the spring, it is absolutely sweet.

Do you know if you have a nat'd or a public IP?

Just placed order today ....

Wonder what the carbon tax is on that

No carbon tax in the US.

But that launch will have consumed about 192,000 liters of RP-1 (Kerosene). At the current 8.8 cents/liter in Canada for diesel that's just under $17k.

Yes, he’s partying hard with your $100 Canadian.

Shouldn't have to explain this. You seem like a fairly intelligent person. Pretty sure he took a deposit from more than one of us.

Dude, the $100 holds your place in line. There are 750,000 people in line. $100 x 750k is only $75M.

Now consider that most early starlink users paid $750 for hardware that cost spacex between $1500-$2000 to manufacture.

Dude. Only 75m??? Maybe that's chump change to a wealthy individual such as yourself, but I could quite easily live off the proceeds of that without ever touching the principal.

Subtract my $125, I got my money back. I bet that hurt his bottom line

No arguing with hurkot on anything Musk, he’s a fan boy from way back, he would probably defend him if he was on the Epstein list for diddling little girls

 

[ABMax24]

Musk is worth $300 billion USD, to put that in perspective, that's more than all combined tax revenues for the government of Canada in a single year. He doesn't give a crap about your $100.

Like him or don't like him, but the guy could literally heat his house by burning $100 bills, and still not go broke.

He must have felt the crunch because I got a email asking to resubmit my order hahaha

Maybe once the service is available in my area

About 2 months from ordering till I seen mine. It’s been running about a week now and so far so good.

 

[pano-dude]

Was getting 160mbps today.

 

[S.W.A.T.]

9 months and not here yet.

 

[DRD]

Ordered last Feb, should be here next week.

Finally got around to installing it, speeds all over the map. The most optimistic test (iphone) shows 183 down, the slowest 44 down on a desk top. Regardless way better than the best day ever of 7 down with the smart hub. Could have lived with the Telus hub if it was consistent but the months on end during the summer when it was unusable was tough to take.
Anyone else have a glitch with the app where is shows it's offline/disconnected but still works?

At any rate telling Telus to FO is a itch I finally get to scratch....
