SpaceX Starlink users provide first impressions and unboxing pictures
"It feels like it's from the future... I am amazed at how well it works."
so not geosynchronous?Old satellite pings were in the upper 300~ms
The new stuff is supposed to be closer in and have much faster response times
Gonna be interesting!
Recent launches by the SpaceX rockets have brought the total up to 800 satillites in low Earth orbit. Seems like a mesh network in space.so not geosynchronous?
That's a pretty great review. That guy practically lives off the grid. His Youtube channel is all about homesteading, good stuff. Thanks for sharing that!Starlink review from an actual user.
would a tower be an option?I was notified this morning it's available to me. I downloaded the starlink app and checked to see if I had enough clear area for the dish. Unfortunately, I'd have to cut down a lot of trees for it to work, even if mounted on the apex of my house. View to the north, northeast and northwest looking up about 25 degrees must be completely unobstructed. Sux this won't work as all I can get other than Hughes net is 4G internet. I'll never go the Hughes route again, was absolutely horrible when we had it before.
