When mine came back online it was unusually fast. 160mbps VS typical 35. Its still quite fast today.

Ukrainian attack?

Guess I am hoping for more occasional global outages!

My speed in Northern NV has consistently exceeded 150mbps since the outage. About 4x typical speed.

250mbps right now.

Here in VA, my speeds are unchanged, 25-60Mb/s down.

No noticeable speed changes for me, I haven't bothered running a speed test.

It could be they did an unannounced tweak or upgrade to some logic or mapping that took everything down briefly but boosted some throughput.

I don't typically pay attention to speeds because I never have speed problems. But I do know that speeds were somewhere around 100 Mb/s when I have occasionally checked. Checked twice since the outage and speeds have been 160-170. I'll take it.

After a great 3 years with starlink I canceled the service and went to the new fiber. The main reason is fiber connection is cheaper and starlink used to look north where I had no obstructions about a year or so ago it aimed itself east where multiple big trees are in the way that I didn't want to take down.

Even with an obstruction every 7 seconds it still streamed shows perfectly.
