Anybody got it? If so, give me the pros and cons please. Looks like I’m not going to have a lot of WiFi options at our new place.

Best interwebs we ever had. Even during the snow and any severe wather event so far. Have had it for over a year now.

The best deal going in rural areas. Ours isn't perfect, but many times better than Hughes net, etc. Love it. Cell phone, computer, television all run through it

Have it here at the house. I live on a cleared out hilltop sitting at 1200’ elevation . I have no obstructions to hinder signal. It’s maybe gone out twice over the past year and that was a nationwide issue by my understanding with updates. It’s windy up here on the hill and it’s gets sketchy during storms but no drop of internet unless the power goes out. WiFi reception is pretty darn good off the factory setup and no booster,etc. I can pick up WiFi signal 150 yards away from the house.Don't care for the cost but it’s the only option here and it’s been great

Before you lay out the money for Starlink, check to see if your new address qualifies for T-Mobile Home Internet. It does not qualify for lots of addresses. If it does, you can get a free two week trial. Make sure you put it through the paces in the free trial...just because your address may qualify, doesn't necessarily mean that it works great there.
My T-Mobile Home Internet blows a neighbor's Starlink away. He's mad because they've closed the signup for T-Mobile in our area. I pay ($30/month) a fraction of what he does ($120/month) per month, with no up-front equipment cost. Don't get me wrong...the Starlink serves him well, it's just 4x more than what I pay for not-as-good service.

Wish they would let you turn service on and off on the residential for seasonal homes. It’s available on the Roam service but not the residential service. Not sure if there is any difference in signal quality with the Roam and the Residential services. Seems like the same antenna.
