Interesting, is this elon musk? What is the price for this? How reliable have you found it to be compared other internet providers?

I believe I read somewhere that monthly service is around $150 and equipment is $500...anywhere near accurate Lee?
I'm hesitant to jump onboard now. With the "infrastructure" spending coming there's a bunch for rural internet. Maybe some other options will be available in the relative near future.

With the "infrastructure" spending coming there's a bunch for rural internet. Maybe some other options will be available in the relative near future. sorta correct, $500 for equipment and $99 a month for service. and yes it is Elon Musk. nearly all the reviews have been overwhelming in how well it works. up to 150mps with some getting as high as 300mbps. is this a replacement for fiber/broadband no. but when the local phone company wants to charge me $50 a month for maybe 10mps if Im lucky and they are the only other option, im willing to give it a try. Starlink is made for rural people whom fast internet is years or decades away.

I talked with a guy on Archerytalk that had gotten it. I would have signed up months ago if it was available here. No luck though and no clue when it will move into my area. It sounds like a great deal for those of us stuck with slow internet out in the boonies.

Loving it, its been amazing, not quite in the house yet to fully test, but speeds have been fantastic, just tested it and got 118mbs download and 22.5 upload. But has seen as high as 240mpbs down. Just set up our mesh system to cover the house in WIFI. But I highly recommend, especially if you have no other option. Only downside is its still very limited in how many people can sign up in a certain area.
