If you're asking, then that means you are in BFE like me. It is the best thing going for rural.
It has hiccups from time to time, but since they have launched the new satellites my service has been a lot better. Less buffering issues. I have no cell phone service where I live, so I use it for TV streaming, Laptop/work, and my cell phone. A bit pricey to start, but it is well worth what you pay for it.

It is way better than any other option. We tried all of them. We weren't able to stream with any other consistently. Starklink allowed us to get rid of dish tv finally.

Love it on the Warrior river Walker/Jeffco line.
Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

Best move I ever made for internet . Only thing if u live in boonies . Wait time is dependent on how many satellites is up in ur area an how many folks already have it in ur area . Look on the starlink website an it will show the availability map . If it’s available in ur area u should have it in two weeks after ordering if not just have to wait till more satellites go up . Simple easy setup . Unlimited streaming $120 a month . My neighbors an i share passwords on most apps except Netflix . I have over air antenna for all local channels . I get over 150mbps most all the time .

I was able to use it on a private boat, worked good from Orange Beach to Ft Lauderdale across the gulf, and from Newcastle, Australia all the way to Cairns, Australia and all the time on the Great Barrier Reef. It cut out intermittently while we were running up the coast of Australia but besides that it was wonderful and fast.

Is it true you need an unobstructed view of the northern sky at something close to a 45* angle? That’s my big holdup is the thick tree canopy to my north

My brother order a longer cable a put his in front yard on a pole . Mine is little obstructed in summer time when leaves are out but still works fine .needs be at least 70% clear . Download the starlink app a you can use ur phone to scan the sky a see how much ur area is obstructed before you purchase it .
