WoodChuck, is your account "Best Effort"? If so, how are your speeds on of peak hours if you've checked.

Thanks

This was last night. As I said, it has been slower and it has been faster. There has been some noticeable slowness when trying to start a video and then other times when that message displayed, not noticeable at all.

28 mbps is useable ... but it is not high speed internet. I would hope to see twice that minimum.

Set the dish in the yard and ran the cable through the window. This is a “best effort” test with 1 TV streaming:

Plan to try it at the other end of the house to get the best results (if any different), then mount it under the eve with the long mount I ordered with it. Will post more results.

Anyone know how to reset the timezone on the router? Mine reports all times as EDT for some reason. It is a minor annoyance when looking at the outages to always be subtracting hours.

All the best,

Peter

Peter, pretty sure time sets itself based on location. Mine is correct, but wasn’t always. Haven’t seen a setting for it.

@sodamo, Yes, that was my fear. It has been like this from day one, and many software updates. The map location is ok, I.e. I'm not using at a different address/location than it is registered with Starlink.

All the best,

Peter

That's poor upload speed if you plan on running security cams accessible off the home network.
With 85 down I'd expect at least 15 up.

Big surprise this morning. Opened my email to find email to confirm my Residential SL from 02/21. I did
Now to decide what to do with my RV SL - sell it or keep it. Leaning towards keeping, especially if I could convert to account to residential. I would use as primary for my rentals and keep the new just for private.
