Another set of results... https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/08/spacex-starlink-beta-tests-show-speeds-up-to-60mbps-latency-as-low-as-31ms/ So the altitude is put at approx 500km/300miles..   I wonder what power levels the xmitters are at for that distance.   Of course they are

My only real concern is loose state and federal funding eligibility. Not the buildout, but the monthly service cost. Our governor here offered the buildout dough on top of the caf buildout areas, more rules, same areas. With internet as a utility mindset, there is no telling how much money the suit

Am I the only one that realizes there are pretty much no users on this network at this point? Besides the latency, wouldn't already existing satellite do these kinds of speeds with <1% of their current user base? What happens when we get 100s or 1000s of people on these satellites? A Ubnt AP does

I would suspect this alpha testing is only going to get better once they get the bugs worked out. I would not be shocked if we started seeing 100mbps speeds with sub 30ms pings as the normal. Hoping I am wrong but prepare for the worst. Hopefully they price that package somewhere around $200/month

It'll be a threat to NLOS fixed wireless, but the LOS services that can do 100-200mbit+ should be safe. Still a massive improvement over other satellite services. On Thu, Aug 13, 2020, 7:36 PM Tushar Patel, wrote: > If those results held up, this may not be a real threat to fixed wireless. > >
