Starlink

[Torvy]

I'm trying to decide if appealing to my Godson-in-law (is that a thing?) to see if they can move me up in the queue. Earlier today I really started to consider a business account, but that would mean my wife would need to keep consulting. That's OK, but she is easier to be around when she is not knee deep in work.

 

[LouNY]

Yes, I have been out of service for about 45 minutes. On my Verizon phone as a hot spot now.

 

[kf4uda]

Same here.

 

[K5lwq]

Just got home and it was out but back up for the moment.

 

[NoTrespassing]

No service here about 30 minutes or so

 

[kf4uda]

Back up now.

Mine says up, but can’t get internet service.
Fired up the mobley.

 

[NoTrespassing]

No service here about 30 minutes or so

Back up, 164 up

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Mines up now

 

[LouNY]

And mine's back up.

Appears to have been a global outage, with reports coming in from other countries. (Per downdector.com)

Up now here.

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

Appears to have been a global outage, with reports coming in from other countries. (Per downdector.com)

Up now here.

Ukrainian attack?

 

[plowhog]

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.

 

[IXLR8]

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

 

[LouNY]

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

 

[Torvy]

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

 

[BigBlue1]

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.
