Starlink

Yeah, I just got my sucks to be you email also.
Nothing like hearing how their so concerned about expanding into other countries that they will get to us later than thought.

Yes, I just got an email today, too. When I then checked the date in my account which had been mid to late 2021 before jumping to late 2022 to early 2023, is now changed to mid 2022. An adjacent, unpopulated cell (well, one home), has a mid-2022 order delivery date for a new order. So, I guess that means that I am back of the pack for my cell.

All the best,

Peter

Just checked my Starlink account. Now it says:

"Starlink expects to expand service in your area by late 2022."

That's a full year pushed back. 18 months if you consider it first started as mid-2021.

A lot of satellite internet providers have a bad, or checkered, reputation. Didn't take long for Starlink to catch that virus.

My account now says mid 2022.

I'm sorry y'all are getting delayed. Since I already I have it I'm glad they're doing that instead of overloading the cells and slowing everything down. I'd say it's good to have a company that cares about it's existing customers more than signing up new ones. That is something that differentiates them vs other sat and cell phone companies...

Hmm - is this a joke?

The Starlink "sorry" email passes the buck and lays blame on a shortage of computer chips ... nothing about preserving service quality. If that's true, why wasn't there any notice from Starlink long before now? Do they expect anyone to believe this was some sort of surprise that snuck up on them?

A chip shortage is an easy bogeyman-- I'm not sure I even believe that. Credibility lost is hard to regain .....

I just received an email too. My account now reads:

Starlink expects to expand service in your area in February 2022.

Before it said mid to late 2021. Encouraging!

Great! Perhaps you will get further good news on Feb. 30th, 2022.

Just got my email and now they are saying Mid 2022. Was mid to late 2021 a few weeks ago.

I wish you the best, it works awesome once you get it.
