Starlink 4+

I’m an IT admin and I’m floored. I came to set this satellite service up for a family who lives a rural, desert location and I expected it to be a slight improvement over their existing satellite internet provider who I CONSTANTLY heard complaints about but I couldn’t do anything (I’m not an ISP and the cable and phone companies won’t drop service here). They finally got into this Starlink program and now I want it! The transparency, simplicity, and the SERVICE are GREAT! This should be what the other ISP’s are copying because I want visibility to know when my home’s last network outage occurred and the duration. Instead of guessing network speeds, they provide the testing tools right instead the app. It’s great!

Since I am an IT Admin, I will say that I wish there were some MORE router configuration options available (like guest wireless, child safety tools, etc.) but NONE of that is a priority over the current tools that Starlink has provided here. Those are only things that could bog services and hardware down over time, so I’ll gladly take this setup and hope that they keep their foot on the pedal to become the next big ISP!

My family and I live in a very rural community that has almost zero wifi access. There is wifi available in this area but it is insanely expensive and only realistically can handle one device at a time and that even is a struggle.

We waited almost exactly a year without wifi or internet of any kind just because we were not willing to pay for a service that would not work. We bought Starlink probably about a week ago and it is absolutely amazing. We are currently running 8 devices and have not experienced any sort of issues with loading videos or even movies. Gaming and downloading games used to be unrealistic for us but with Starlink we are able to download several games in a day if we wanted. Honestly, we’ve lived in a decent sized city and the internet here is now better than what we were getting in the “city”.

For anyone looking for excellent wifi without any buffering or downloading issues, get Starlink. Seriously. Do not waste your time and money on anything else.

We have always lived just out of reach. For many years. In the early 2000’s we had cell phones we could only use if we were in the city or at work. An hour plus away! Today we still live in a rural area. Still have no internet or cell services in my area.
When starlink came out it was the only thing my kids wanted for Christmas. We had satellite internet that was NOT starlink and we had to pay for a landline. Years later I get asked all the time from friends, family and the like about starlink. They all want to know if the hype is real. I tell them, I’ll be taking my starlink to my next home. Where ever that might be.
I’m selling my property and am asked if I’ll leave the starlink. Ummmmm no. Especially since I believe the new improved equipment is way more expensive. And why would I? I’ve NEVER had a problem with it. We watch TV, game, surf internet, shop and make calls and I have NEVER had an issue. I don’t know of any other product I can say that about.
STARLINK FAMILY FOR LIFE!
