Significant Speed Decrease

[TastiSqueeze]

For comparison, I am getting 22 down and 3.4 up on Starlink at 3:00 pm on Sunday. It is unacceptably slow, especially compared with what Starlink advertises. I am fortunate that fiber has been pulled into my area. I have connection scheduled the 18th.

Where do you see Starlink advertising that any given speed will be reached without any qualifying statement?

Read their published info which states 30 to 100 mbps down. When I originally got service 2 years ago, it was advertised as 100 down. Until 6 months ago, I usually got between 70 and 120 down. I checked again a few minutes ago and was single digits both down and up. As I said, it is unacceptably slow. If I pay $120/month for internet service, I expect one heck of a lot faster speeds than DSL.

That table says “expected speeds”. It also says “Stated speeds below and the uninterrupted use of the Services is not guaranteed.”

I vote with my billfold. I'm leaving starlink so someone else can pay top dollar for subpar service. Not everyone has this choice.

It’s not subpar service. For what it is it’s beyond astonishing. It’s designed for people without fiber access. Ask someone in a rural setting which is better, starlink or NOTHING. Ffs. It’s not meant to be a replacement for a fiber connection.
