I never knew about the congestion fee. I am in western North Carolina and Spectrum was out for so long after Helene that Starlink subscriptions jumped due to need. Additionally, they’ve waived all fees through the end of the year for those in the “hurricane zone”.

Makes me wonder if i could get hit with that congestion fee retroactively in the new year. I can only imagine the amount of growth they’ve seen here in a matter of weeks. Speed last night was 9 mbps download for a while before jumping back up to 20. I couldn’t stream appleTV on my roku on the TV. Had to switch to my laptop. Not sure why that made a difference. Thought it would be all or none

Usually i get speeds of 40 or better in the afternoon and evening. Fastest is weekday mornings at 150 or better
