StarLink

Hello all! Quick question: do any of you use StarLink for your internet, and if so, what do you think of it? Issues with data caps, satellite reception (clouds, storms), usage, etc?

We use it in our RV on trips, but don't have it for stationary use. I think for a small B&B of a few rooms it could work fine. I think if you were larger it would cause too much lag or the bandwidth limits might come into play.

The fire sprinkler system in one of my buildings is monitored over StarLink. I was shocked to see that. Apparently, StarLink is for real and being used to do real world things by big-time companies. One of Elon Musk's occasional wins, like my wonderful wonderful Tesla!

It's worth noting that Elon has neither invented Starlink satellites, Tesla vehicles, or any of the rockets. He just had the wealth and good sense to purchase those companies and hype them up.

Taking what is available and improving/marketing it has been used for centuries for the betterment of the public AND the bank accounts of the people who did just that.

Thank you for an answer that actually pertains to my question. I appreciate it.

Occasional wins - Hmmm

Love Starlink. We started with gen2 router and added 2 satellite routers to get my lodge buildings covered. It worked flawlessly and had as many as 30 devices on at a time. I upgraded to the gen3 and flat dish then added the deco satellites because I needed some range to reach a another buliding. We added 3 x50s and 3x55s. Hardwired 3 of these to the designated " router" works perfectly and have had 50 devices connected with amazing speeds.
