I just said hello to Starlink myself after almost 2.5 years on the wait list and a year after I was informed that my address was not on the list for the latest 8.7 million fiber expansion in the county!
IKR, probably all those unemployed ex Twitter "fact checkers" sitting in their mommy 's basements crying over all the Bud Light comments while sipping a White Claw. I'll tell you what, those dress wearing effing sissies wouldn't try that in my small town! 😀
Mine came in overnight also, after putting the deposit in Feb 21st, 2021. Was kind of hoping it would be pushed out until Starship and V2 maxis started flying, but then again that may not happen for a while at this point. 😉
You were 2 days before me, my deposit was Feb. 23, 21. I also thought about if it would be pushed out, but as many times as this has been pushed out already (I was originally expected to receive last half 2021) I would just as soon had it. I’m also in Georgia, south of Atlanta, close to Griffin.
Yes, Musky Boi had us all fooled that we would have by fall of 2021. And then the letdown in November, LOL! And then the whole ordering out of area crap which lead to the roaming/RV horseshit. I about requested the refund then, but decided to wait it out, kind of hoping the class action suit would be filed. Then came "Best Effort", I decided it wasn't worth the crap shoot to pay $120 a month for leftover bandwidth. Now I have 7 days to decide if I want it. What's the bad part is I will have to keep my present DSL until I decide if SL is worth it, as me and my wife WFH.
2112 has great riffs. But the story is so cheesy and derivative it makes me cringe. I like the melodies and the energy, but the story just... Pushes me away. Haha.
Same here in North Georgia. Still being offered "Best Effort", but will continue to wait until 1. Full residential is available, 2. I try TMHI and it works OK and I can drop my DSL and SL can , or 3. I get offered to join the class action suit against Elon and gang. LOL
Myself, I have decided to stick with my 20D/1.5U DSL until at least Starship is proven and V2 satellites can be launched. It is at least stable and hardly goes down and 2 of us can WFH with no issues. I don't feel confident enough with SL to drop the cash for the equipment and monthly fee for "Best Effort". Or maybe I'll get invited to join the Class Action lawsuit that is surely to come from Elon holding our money for over 2 years now!
It fits inside the existing router. I haven’t found a pulse transformer yet for the high performance dish. I can scale this power supply to the current required, but still investigating option for pulse transformers.
IMHO, things won't get much better until the V.2 satellites can get launched with Starship. Who knows how long that's going to take. I'm passing on Best Effort and will stick with my 20/2 DSL. At least it's stable and we can WFH during the day and stream at night.
IMHO, Elon allowed people to cheat the system and order from different addresses that were out of their cell. When the grifter figured this out, he took advantage of it by charging a "portability" fee and then made the "RV" function and charged more for it. Now he is appealing the decision not to give him nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer's money for rural broadband. Since he can't provide most of his customers what he originally told he he could provide, why in the hell does think he deserve our money. I am in the process of contacting my Congressman and Senators to make sure they don't cave to this con man and deny him any taxpayer's money. I encourage others to do the same
Ordered February 2021, was at mid 2022 until I got my "Best Effort" email a couple of days ago and moved to mid 2023. Expect to get pushed back yet again next June or July. LOL
My "Best Effort" email came in last night, didn't see it until this morning (thank God, otherwise I would have been up pissed off all night). I'm going to pass on the the Grifter's "Best Effort" bullcrap but keep my place in line for now. If I need the money, I'll get the refund. I'm really hoping that Amazon's Kuiper starts to pick up some speed and Blue Origin can get their shi+ together.
I got my Best Effort Invitation (what a joke) last night. NO WAY IN HELL would I pay full price for sub par service they are offering. They can't deliver the speeds they promised to residents because of congestion yet they open it up for boats, planes,cruise ships RVs adding to the congestion. They reduced the price in other countries reduce it here! I'll stick with my cell service and PDA Net app at least I get a steady 60mbps unlimited down.
Same email last night too. I'll let the Grifter Musk keep my deposit for a little while longer, maybe become part of the class action suit I am sure will come. In the meantime, gunna hammer my Congressman and Senators to make sure that the appeal of that rural broadband money SpaceX/Starlink wants doesn't get anywhere. If he can't deliver to us who gave him money early on, he doesn't need our taxpayer money! Fuq him and the horse he rode in on!
Just got my "Best Effort" email this morning. Think I'll pass and stick with my 20D/1.5U shi++y Windstream DSL for now, at least it's dependable. Grifter Musk can hold onto my $99 for now!
I’m a SL customer since May 2021. Speeds were great then, but widely varying. I lived with this because it was beta conditions, but it was promised to get better soon. It hasn’t! Only much worse! Welcome to Elonia, the land of hype and broken promises. SL is really for folks who need basic internet that can be somewhat better than conventional satellite service. Adjust your expectations to this level of performance and you’ll be satisfied.
I'm really surprised I wasn't downvoted for the "Musky boi" comment. Starting to think he's a grifter like several people in other comments have mentioned!
They call it "Found on Road Dead" for a reason, then again I have no sympathy for anyone who buys/drives a POS Ford.
likely money, not people.
Yes, my bad, $8.7 million for a county of about 35,000. And the fuckers raised my taxes another $500 this year!

As long as it isn't Bud Light! 😀
I can’t understand why this was voted down! I mean who likes inferior “beer” that much??

I got my 7 day notice yesterday too. Starting to think Elon needs a cash influx for Starship, Twitter, Tesla or all. LOL

We have assumed control!
Suggest users thank him on Twitter. He doesn’t have time to read Reddit comments and we don’t need the added clutter here.
No shi+, go suck his dick on twitter!
Still on the wait list... since day 1 here in Tennessee

Hi Tuck, good to see you again. FYI, I am an IPC CID+ PCB layout engineer and would be happy to give any feedback on your board, free of charge!
He’s a grifter. Has been and always will be.
Exactly what I've been saying!

In the same boat, will stick with my stable 20/1.5 DSL for now, eff the Grifter!
Because you have

I'm thinkING your FedEx driver tested it out for you! ROFL

I'm pretty sure while using the best effort you maintain your spot in line for residential.
That's what they say, but at this point I don't really believe a word that comes out of that Grifter's mouth!

Surprised you're not heavily downvoted, with that comment about the "anointed one".
Give it time.
IKR... 😁
I'm over it at this point
FedEx driver probably testing it out for you. 🤣
early = maybe 2022
LMFAO
No problem, good luck 🤞
My man Tuck! Always there to help mankind navigate this Starlink journey! Keep up the good work, my friend.
Nailed it.
