I'll wait for Starlink. I know I'm not going to get fiber in my rural area for a long time. I now have Hughsnet, which is horrible, but it beats nothing. I'm hoping that Starlink treats it's customers better than their future customers. Like most of us I'm between a rock and a hard place if I want internet.
I'll wait for Starlink, but I had to go with an existing satellite service in the meantime. No installation or equipment charges, just a two year contract. Maybe Starlink will show up before then.
George Takai? Nobody cares that he slanders Shatner every chance he gets and has for decades. Serious question and this is derived from a statement George made on Satelite radio: Does he still grab the crotch of reluctant men? True story. That would be my response every time but Shatner takes the high road.
About the one guy, no, not a starlink customer, who canceled his order: Again, who cares? Did the $100 fully refundable deposit break him? Was he actually out in the sticks with no good alternative to starlink? What a load of bunk and I mean it. That means nothing except you're participating in bashing starlink. That is not good journalism. Here's something just as relevant - I didn't cancel my order.
Regarding StarLink; I placed my deposit in February, and am still waiting. My biggest concern is that a company that won't keep prospective customers engaged will also not respond well once service is initiated. For now I'll wait, as I can live without the deposit I paid and satellite internet isn't an option due to the amount of data we use. Who knows, by the time StarLink gets its act together I might have fiber on my rural road. But still very frustrated.
They're going as fast as they can is EM's normal. It was the last launch, I believe, that lifted next gen satellites which transmit satellite to satellite, by laser. That may have been a key milestone but ION drive positioning takes months. I can live without my $100 too. " Starlink out of Beta by end of October" but I don't know what that means. Good luck.
Bashing any of elon's proposals is going to be embarrassed . he builds they will come eventually 10x 100x
Wow it's a big motor vehicle. Makes this guy's look like miniature pieps. 🧐👁️
