"out for delivery"
Its like Christmas morning for the 3rd time in as many months! Hopefully this one works and I can cancel Eatel

ETA: It's here and connected.
I didn't realize you had to "bypass the starlink router" to enable the ethernet adapter. Got that done and connected to my office network now.
Its faster than my Eatel connection so far, which is capped at 100mbps. I'm getting between 120-180 in the 10 minutes its been connected.

Ok, I'm averaging between 150-200 today and its been stable.
I went ahead and connected it to my primary ISP source on the router at the office and I'm using my verizon router as backup.
Email has been sent to cancel Eatel.

Nice! At the end of this month, centurytel and directv are getting deep 6'd. I have stress tested this internet and i can confidently say that I can stream anything i want to watch no matter what anyone else is doing while connected.

Mine will be tested tomorrow and tonight with the clouds and storm rolling through. That’s my primary concern. It’s been pretty solid in terms of speeds and reliability otherwise.

I can’t wait to tell AT&T to shove their DSL BS.

You guys experience any consistent outages? It seems every night anywhere from 1-4 am I have network issues, reboot, or unknown issues. I know its not obstructions. I wanted to see if yall see the same thing before I open a support ticket. The outages last 5 minutes max and it's not like they're at high usage hours but still raising a flag for me.

I was out for about 15 minutes when the storm came through Thursday evening. Of course I got about an inch of rain in that 15 minutes.

Then I guess I should open a ticket for them to see what's going on.

Ever since I turned my computer backup back on, I get some consistent network issues in the middle of the night. They’re usually clustered together, 4 or 5 outages over a 20 minute period.

I’ve just assumed it’s due to loading on the upload bandwidth. I haven’t backed up my system in a couple years, so it’s uploading some GBs over the last few nights. I haven’t noticed or recorded any issues in the working hours so it hasn’t bothered me.

My system has 5 boot cycles. I have only booted it once on original install and it rebooted once like 40 minutes later when i assume firmware was upgraded after the initial boot. The other 3 times have been in the 1-4 am time periods. Idk if I should give it another week to see if stops or just go ahead and get Starlink to look into this.

I think the early 1 - 4 AM times are for updates.

I sent in a support request for them to look at my data. I haven't gotten a response yet but last night was the first time I had no reported outages in the 12 hour period.

Has anybody noticed an issue with WiFi Calling through Starlink? I normally keep WiFi calling on since I went offshore and never had an issue before with my old internet. With Starlink, it will drop the call unless I turn off WiFi. My connection is fine to the internet and video calls/etc. work with no issues.

My new system is rolling right along.
I get notifications on my phone when my network loses its primary ISP and goes to the verizon backup. It's only happened once with the new system for a total of 30 seconds.

I got an email this morning requesting confirmation and my system is on its way

Encouraging stuff in this thread. This will be a game changer for me here in BFE WNC.
