talk about latency

it's affordable connectivity after you get the hardware

it's not any cheaper for home cable

Get old version of gear off ebay. I got my my dish for half the price of new..still works just fine.
Places I use starlink there isn't a "home" or service.

We actually got an email from starlink about upgrading our old router for free.

Exactly. A lot of people conflate latency with throughput. Higher “speed” ≠ faster. Once you have enough bandwidth, low latency/jitter/packet loss is king for most everyday use, and Starlink has surprisingly low latency when signal is decent.

(I know you know this.)

Based on prior behavior, you can be damn sure the all-new higher bandwidth will require new hardware, higher subscription tier, or both. 150 Mbps download is already more than I need for camping. All I want is to be able to stream a single device plus email/text on 5 devices.

150mps? Need to let it do some updates. This was in the middle of the Mon NF.
Dish is dish...probably just need a new router.
You concerns are valid we used to pay 150 a month and 0 for standby...I picked up a good chunk of SPCX when it bottomed out at 108...so I am already ahead.

That's what I mean

29ms ping on a sat connection is nuts. That's exactly what I just got on my freaking business coax pipe...

Terafab plant. It will totally change the global supply chain for chips when it's complete. Bye bye Taiwan. Especially if gets the FEL lazers working.

Small compared to Starbase LA, 125000 acres. Terafab is only like 6500..

I have seen as high as 300 but it varies based on # satellites and # of connections in your area.
