Finally got my STARLINK delivered yesterday.

thanks for the update.

Still using dial up since nothing is available here.

Of all of musks ventures, Starlink is the one that will have the most impact on the world. It has already changed the course of the war in Ukraine.

It will also make musk tons of $$$$$

I was ordering it but the install seemed like an absolute headache to have it mounted. Then I'd have to run it into the house somehow? Just seemed like too much

It wasn’t hard. There are only 3 pieces of equipment (small rectangular dish, 70 foot cable, and router). It aims itself so no worries about that. Mounted the dish first on my back eave (4 wide head wood screws and sealant). Went in the attic and dropped cable into foyer closet and brought it out of wall to router (notched a cable face plate to hide hole in wall). Dropped other end through soffit on back porch (this was by far hardest part, couldn’t crawl to hole so had to keep tossing cable at hole till I could snag it). Attach that end to dish, plug in router and done.

Aren't you in Starks? That's pretty high tech for that area of the world.

Yep. I named it STARKSLINK.

I was on list since last February.

How far out in the sticks are you?

I am on the bayou and have AT&T wireless 5G and I just got 150 Mbps sitting inside on the shitter, I turned Wifi off.

Yesterday, I was in New Orleans and saw that some sections of I-10 had been upgraded to 5G+ in some areas.

I was getting 250 Mbps going 70 mph.

Anyone have reports of Verizon 5G network. I saw that they had large swaths of New Orleans and the Larose Cut Off area upgraded to 5G.

I am working on a project that uses cellular data and looked at the maps last week to see the coverage on different providers.
