I live in a fairly remote area. There is a state park & campground about 4 miles away & is not in the hex cell I live in, where service isn't available for home owners. I don't know if that is significant or not.

I live in a area that does not have Starlink available yet. I am considering getting Starlink Roam & then converting to home when it becomes available. Can anyone with the Roam version give me their download & upload stats? I know is is less than home, but the critical question is how much less?

Starlink is available everywhere now. Unless you live in a cell at high capacity or something. The 'select availability' ended quite a while ago.

That is 99% true, but there are a few spots in Texas and the SW and WV (Green Mountain radio area), where it is not available, and a few more areas of high demand where it is limited availability. So, it is possible that @Locoweed lives in one of those small areas...

Yep, I live in the only area in Texas that isn't open yet. It was recently updated to available in 2025.

I see that Starlink is bringing out a new dish, very compact but slower speed.

Interesting. That sucks. Did not know there were still any spots like that.
