Starlink

[RedNeckGeek]

I've been using a Starlink connection for going on two years now, and never was able to get bypass mode to work. Might have something to do with the Unifi gateway; I'm for sure not a network engineer. I'm moving to a new to me house, and have gigabit cable internet there, so that solves the problem for me. I'll be leaving the Starlink for the new owners, and selling what's left of the Unifi stuff. A lot of it failed after 18 months, so it was replaced with a mesh setup from TP-Link through Costco at the new place. It just works with next to no fuss on my part.

So... here I am with the new HughesNet system. Phoenix or Orion 27 - whatever. It IS quicker plus I get 100 GB of anytime coverage.

I no longer have to work the 2AM to 8AM shift.

WoW!! Now that the clouds have cleared this new HughesNet is REALLY fast.

Starlink mini now available - It's a mobile downsized dishy, has anybody tried it?

Latency is what always stopped me from trying that service. What's yours?

Physics is physics. The speed of light is a constant and the orbital altitude of their sats dictates a bare minimum latency. No hardware improvements can defy that.

So HughesNet "satellite" service moved to cellular technology... Well, that's definitely one way to get around the latency of sats 23,000 miles in orbit. LOL! How's that work for rural folks where cell service isn't possible?

I was a hughes net customer once. Never again. When I complained about failing service they sent out a tech to check the system for $100 and he told me I needed an upgraded dish for $400.

Hughesnet was the absolute worse internet I ever had. dialup was better.
