We did too.Just put down my deposit.
If it's anything like it is advertised it will be well worth the money for us. We are currently running on hotspots -- some Verizon and some AT&T. I have to limp along on a combination of of 3 hotspots and my phone. Still waiting on a hotspot from the school district. Online teaching burns through my data very fast and I end up blowing past my data cap every month and then the speeds are at about turtle speed. Those hot spots aren't cheap either. Starlink, if they keep the price as advertised, is going to be much cheaper.What are your speeds now? Is this worth the money for you?
If you have a good tower, you may be able to get Verizon LTE internet. It is wireless, but not a Hotspot. It is a regular modem/router.If it's anything like it is advertised it will be well worth the money for us. We are currently running on hotspots -- some Verizon and some AT&T.

i went to their site. all information is vague at best. not yet running everywhere.Starlink has opened up on a first come, first service basis an opportunity to sign up for their internet service via LEO (low earth orbit) satellites. They advertise high speed, low latency and no data limits.
Starlink
Isn't that a little like saying "I had a Ford once, and it sucked, so I'm not buying a Chevy."?After having had Hughesnet for several years and finally clearing them out of my life this group will have to around for a while before I'll jump on board. Customer service with Hughesnet was some of the worst. And their nickel and diming for every failure of their equipment, even leased equipment, was not tolerable.
"Not even a little bit. It's another satellite company. "Not even a little bit. It's another satellite company. As mentioned their website is spotty with in depth information. How do they handle customer issues? How sensitive is their equipment to weather? How much will your access be slowed due to heavy customer loads? Are they going to charge for anything that fails even for leased equipment? Who's providing customer support? India?
Jumping in with both feet without some crucial information in place could be a stressful, frustrating venture.
Get locked into a 2 year contract with a nightmare company who's only criteria is to make money off you in every way possible and you'll understand exactly what I mean.
