Itβs still a bit on the pricey sideβ¦.$120 a month π
We had just reached the point where is Ziply fiber was dropping out four or five times a day?
And it isnβt even fiberβ¦. They just doubled up the thin copper phone lines that run to each house. speeds were 20 to 21 Mbps on a good dayβ¦
Much, much less on a bad day.
We had to cross our fingers every day we posted, hoping that we didnβt lose Internet until we were finished Lol!

Ah, indeed, that is still quite expensive on a monthly basis! I definitely understand that, as I've experienced multiple iterations of abysmal internet. Even though our present internet service is not as good as Starlink, it's still far better, both in speed and bandwidth, and in stability, though I still dream of having Starlink some day. πππβ¨π€
We were kind of stuck between bad.... and worse Lol!
Starlink filled the bill!!πππ
Starlink is pretty much the best internet on the planet at the moment! Everyone with whom I've spoken has told me that Starlink works great, and that they love it! πππβ¨π€
With communication between satellites with lasers, in the ability to download to a ground station at any point on earth with low latency it's hard to top that!!
Now add the fact that we are solar powered on our end, so we are not dependent on the grid, it makes a very reliable combination!!ππ
I didn't know that they utilized lasers! That would definitely speed things up! That's badass, my friend, you've got a great setup! πππβ¨π€
It is very interesting...... from what I've read the original generation satellites did not have the lasers.
But the newer generation incorporates laser to laser communication, and as the old satellites gradually burn up back re-entering the atmosphere, his new constellation will all be laser to laser communication!ππ
Oh, that's very cool, so he's been upgrading his technology, so the network speed and bandwidth should keep getting better! πππβ¨π€
He has quite an amazing technology, I am so thankful that we are past power outages !ππ€π
I can't wait to get Starlink soon. I definitely feel you on that, my friend, that is a wonderful thing indeed! πππβ¨π€
You will be very happy with Starlink, my friend!ππ
Heavy rains, wind, the Internet has never gone down!π
That's flipping fantastic! Stable and fast off-grid internet! Yes, please! πππβ¨π€
So awesome to not worry about the Internet dropping out!π€π
Absolutely, and the electricity too! Those are two necessities for me, a stable, fast internet connection, and and a stable electrical system! πππβ¨π€
Exactly spot on my friend..... especially this time of year with winter storms, and potential high winds!!!πππ
