Starlink

Finally got around to relocating my dish from the picnic table in the side yard to our roof. From the table I had a slight obstruction to the north (a critical area for our location).

The obstruction analyzer said the picnic table was causing a gap in coverage every 45 minutes or so (which was pretty much what we were seeing: they typically lasted only for seconds, but on rare occasions as long as 20 seconds).

After moving to the rooftop, I was on a zoom meeting for 2.5 hours. ("Live" video conferences are a tough test, since you can't buffer those.) The only problem was a single stutter in the video feed which lasted about 2 seconds. (Hard to say whether that came from my end or the folks on the other end.)

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned here yet, or not. But a friend of mine just told me about his site:

Maybe some useful info there on the actual status of Starlink.

Elon Musk's Starlink satelllite service gets federal approval

Elon Musk has a lot of plates to keep spinning yet so how he marches on.
Setting up an ISP in a foreign country (Mexico in this case) is trivial & mostly politics if you have a couple hundred (or is it a couple thousand now) satellites swarming the whole planet already. I'm assuming they are playing nice & putting a downlink in country. They could put one anywhere on the planet & provide service across borders.

Starlink is still taking orders for my area and stating service will be mid to late 21. Thats the same they told me when I preordered earlier this year.
Where did you get the at capacity information.
