Re: Starlink Preorders Begin

2021-02-20 Thread Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss 
I was considering doing the same, having used Cox and CL together for a bit
with my Fortigate that can manage with SDWAN features between multiple
ISP's well enough, adding Starlink would be easy, and curious how it
performs.

I have family and friends that live in areas difficult to get connectivity
like Cave Creek, Maricopa, and other areas no one wants to run decent
connectivity to, as well as currently a retail customer with some 1500
stores that this might be a suitable alternative to 5g, 4g, Wifi, or other
point to point last-mile solutions for, so I'd love to see what this really
looks like for daily personal or enterprise usage.

I ordered the pre-order and plunked down the $99 to be on the wait list. 
If it works well enough for the first month when I get it, I will cancel 
Centurylink and just use Starlink with Cox as the backup.


Looking forward to it.

If I were stuck in a rural area with some 3Mbps broadband download 
(even cities like San Francisco), I'd be all over this for $100 bucks 
a month and $500 for the dish array.

They claim 50Mbps to 150Mbps data rates and latency from 20ms to 40ms.
Initial testing has shown a bit lower than that, upload speeds have varied
from 10Mbps to 30Mbps and download speeds from 15Mbps to 120Mbps, which for
satellite-type connectivity is pretty amazing, particularly without the
usual 500ms latency for those services.

If I were stuck in a rural area with some 3Mbps broadband download (even
cities like San Francisco), I'd be all over this for $100 bucks a month and
$500 for the dish array.
