Wonder (just academic wondering) how hard it will be to jam starlink... just wondering... From: Matt Hoppes Sent: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 4:59 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Starlink - First Blood Ooo. Just saw another customer post on Facebook they ordered Starlink. Their house is 150% encased in trees. This should be interesting to watch. He’s also getting 50 down by 40 up on our service for $110. On Feb 9, 2021, at 1:29 PM, Gino A. Villarini <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Its not koolaid, its great marketing!

I'm shocked. People think they need 50 mbps or 150 mbps when they have *NO IDEA* what they're currently using is just a fine example of marketing and bigger is always better (see muscle cars in the 60s).

I figure I want to get the h/w and play with it at a fixed location to understand setup time, quality, limitations ( can you have another router, address space, etc. etc.. ) before moving it to the RV. I figured the list is going to get pretty long and the h/w will change with expansion of production, evolution of the service. So being early will have advantages and disadvantages. So final usage in the RV is the goal but not initial need.

Starlink satellites are scheduled to send internet down to all users within a designated area on the ground. This designated area is referred to as a cell. Your Starlink is assigned to a single cell. If you move your Starlink outside of its assigned cell, a satellite will not be scheduled to serve your Starlink and you will not receive internet. This is constrained by geometry and is not arbitrary geofencing. Please let us know how traveling with it works out for you. If it does travel well, I want it!

All very valid reasons to open up general sales. I threw $100 at it to get on the list for one that I will use with the RV in the future and to test the reality of the service. It should be interesting to watch performance change with the addition of infrastructure vs. customers.

Other locations in MN say it will be middle to late 2021 for service availability. I should have some first hand knowledge in a week or two. As mentioned below, it is basically $600 to start and $99 a month. Will be interesting.

We always tell people canceling what their average usage is because we use Preseem and most people rarely average more than 10 Mbps unless they're doing a download. So someone on our 25 Mbps plan will peak and hit that but their average is typically under 10 Mbps so if they switch for something "faster", we will tell them they won't notice a difference and send screenshots of their preseem graphs to prove it. If you average 10 Mbps, having 1000 Mbps fiber instead of 25 Mbps won't feel any faster at all.

Guy who's been a long term customer - paying $90 for 50 megabits -- and getting that. Says "I'd rather give my money to a local company than to Musk, but those speeds. Any chance you'll be offering faster speeds?". My only response was - if you truly need 150 megabits at your home, then Starlink is probably a better option for you. We've found that 99% of our customers barely use 25 megabits, which is why our top plan is 50 megabits. "OK, well I just wanted to try to give money locally". I appreciate that, but if you'd like to pay $9 more per month, plus a $600 install fee, to get the same speeds you're getting with us with the occasional faster speeds, and drops with every satellite switch, be my guest. This guy's house is also completely surrounded by trees. I'm curious to see how this will play out. -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Darin Steffl Minnesota WiFi www.mnwifi.com<http://www.mnwifi.com> 507-634-WiFi Like us on Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/minnesotawifi> -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
