    I think, it's worth to get one!
    I'm all ready paying all most $100 for Internet.
    $130/month is not bad?

    She gets 130 Megs download speed?
    WOW!
    I only get 35 Megs with my cable?
    Xfinity bugs me to upgrade to highspeed, but for lot more money.
    35 meg is fine for streaming etc..., no issues!

    Now you can stream or download those videos of Candy Caine much faster!

    (Purely instructional dance technique videos of course.)

    I couldn't even stream video reliably with what I had available to me
    before I had Starlink. So that's a nice upgrade. But it offers other
    things, as well. I can now get telephone service over the Internet,
    which will soon be essential as my new house has no wires and no cell
    service. And the 100 Mbps performance is a game changer for the big
    datasets I regularly work with, which I used to have to have
    downloaded for me elsewhere and mailed on hard drives or memory
    sticks, and which I can now download in a reasonable amount of time.

    Chris, do you get lags with Starlink services cause you directly linked to sats?

    It's amazingly good. Latency is almost always around 30 ms and I never
    see dropouts or losses. None. It just works. The slowest I ever see is
    around 35 Mbps, which is rare. The highest I see is around 130 Mbps.
    It's almost always sitting between 80 and 100 Mbps.
