Starlink

Network issues seem to be consistent with, I think, issues with your ground stations (and their connectivity). You could let Starlink know but I suspect that they are on it already.

All the best,

Starlink has been performing almost perfectly for almost 2 weeks until yesterday. For the last 24 hours, I have been getting 10 to 15 second service interruptions every 4 or 5 minutes. The Starlink app shows no obstructions and all are listed as "network issues". I tried rebooting the system but it made no difference.

Anyone in the northeastern section of PA have the same problem?

I experienced a similar issue here in south Georgia. I received my Dish2 in early February. It worked great for three weeks then started doing what you described along with ‘Unknown’ reasons. No obstructions. I emailed StarLink and they sent me a new entire kit within a week or so. I’m sure glad my initial install was temporary. (Still is )

I really like watching Country View Acres. Evan received a new Starlink and he built a mounting bracket for the dish, routed the wiring and used a Netgear Network Extender. Great video for a newbie like me and helps us get ready. Fingers crossed on the mid 2022 arrival.

Here's the link if you guys are interested. Country View Acres: Starlink

We have been experiencing bad weather where I live in northeast PA. The same storm also hit the Starlink ground station that serves me in eastern CT. I thought the problem might be weather related so I waited before contacting customer support.

The service returned to normal shortly after the storm passed. I suppose it could be a coincidence. We've had other storms pass through since I installed Starlink with no noticeable service degradation. This last one was the worst though with prolonged periods of heavy rain.

Time will tell if this will be a recurring weather related problem. It will be a bit upsetting if the Starlink service isn't reliable during bad weather.

Anyone else notice weather related problems?

The sad thing is, I noticed an eBay vendor that seems to be selling multiples. The current prices start at $35 and go up to $575 on eBay...

Yes, I am still waiting for the one that I ordered way back when.

All the best,

I am still waiting for the one that I ordered way back when.

I recently received the invitation to sign up for Starlink. The backorder on the ethernet adapter was described as "available late April 2022." I wouldn't wager any money it will actually ship by then ...

I ordered Starlink for two properties. At first, it seemed odd I would get a Starlink order filled first in Nevada. That property has a much higher population. But it also has a lot of providers who have wired up homes with DSL, fiber, etc. So maybe demand is less due to that.

In contrast, in CA, its a rural property where *everyone* wants Starlink because there is little-to-no infrastructure for DSL, fiber, or other alternatives. Even cell service is very spotty. So maybe much higher demand due to that.

Maybe that's why they are backordered at Starlink. Elon Musk is selling them all on eBay!

Installed my starlink a week ago. It's wonderful. I can actually use my computers now. Best speed before was 1.2Mbps down 0.5 up. Now is 250Mbps and 50 up.
I have no obstructions, I have a 0260 stihl.

Is that an 026 or 260?

FWIW, this is the timeline for my orders:

2/18/21 - Ordered dish & router kit, roof pivot mount, extended 150' cable and ethernet adapter.
3/24/22 - Received dish & router kit with standard 75' cable.
4/10/22 - Received shipping notice for ethernet adapter with FedEx delivery date estimated to be 4/13/22.

The roof pivot mount and 150' cable are still backordered until mid 2022.
