Starlink

   / Starlink #3,341  
I decided to keep Starlink. I'm not sure why but the performance greatly improved. I'm now getting 150 - 200 down / 15 - 25 up on a regular basis. The speeds slow a bit during heavy rain / snow but I can live with that. Service interruptions have been short and relatively infrequent. Overall, I'm happy with the service.

There was also a price increase on my wireless internet so the $110/mo. is a bit easier to take.
Thank you! I hope my Dishy goes up soon - still waiting for rain to end 🫤

Greeting guys. I'm sorta new here. I'm brand new to this Starlink thing. Been on the wait list for a year.
I just got notice my order is preparing. I got the residential pkg.
I have been struggling for 40 yrs with crappy internet. So excited.
So tell me what am I getting into and what should I expect?
Remember when having a Hayes 14.4 and a 100meg hard drive made you King Cat? 😂🤣😂🤣

If your first computer had disk and not tape storage you're just a youngster...

I still have my Atari 400 computer and a 1010 cassette drive...
Vic 20 and a tape drive, finally donated it when we moved in 2015…

Hard drive, didn’t have no stinking hard drive.
I was never King Cat (at least when it counted). . .

But I still have my Brother portable manual typewriter from high school - I bet the ribbon is drier than nori at this point!

I started out with a RS Model 1 with a 300 baud modem and a couple of single sided 160K floppy drives. Later I had an IBM PC XT and a US Robotics 14.4K modem.
Those were the days!

Yet another use for WD-40! ;)

My typewriter is a tiny bit newer, but I haven't used it in eons....

All the best,

What's a typewriter? :D :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

On a more serious note. Service speed is generally slowing and interruptions are more frequent. I suspect this is a result of over selling the service.
Will the commercial subscription solve these issues?

My grandson saw a typewriter and was fascinated by it. Don't know where he saw it, but he asked Gma if she had any of that ancient tech. She did find one in a thrift shop, a surprisingly nice one for cheap. WD-40 what i worked it over with, and put on the ribbon. Now my grandson love to type on it. He's learning how to use a keyboard and i'm teaching him how to code, just html right now.
