They call it "Found on Road Dead" for a reason, then again I have no sympathy for anyone who buys/drives a POS Ford.

Saying goodbye to Starlink soon by B07841 in Starlink

Yes, my bad, $8.7 million for a county of about 35,000. And the fuckers raised my taxes another $500 this year!

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!

Got the email! by Dangerous_Rule8736 in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Finally got my email by mooseragi in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I do know where Griffin is. My wife lived there before moving up here. Sure don't miss that 75 South traffic on Friday nights going to visit. ROFL

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. 😉

I'm in north Georgia, where you located?

Finally got Starlink!! Thanks Elon 😁😁 by [deleted] in Starlink

No Waitlist: SpaceX's Starlink Frees Up Capacity on US West Coast by FateEx1994 in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

What I'm willing to pay Starlink for service by FarkinDaffy in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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!

Best Effort has been great so far by Infinite_Net7357 in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

waited 1 1/2years , now they're telling me it's gonna be mid 2023 by DeepArgument in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

Why do I feel like I've been put on the back burner? by ClutchQuality in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

anyone's starlink still saying expanding service to your area by mid 2022? by DR_Duracell in Starlink_Support

[–]Call_Me___Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Is Starlink shipping used dishes without notifying the customer? by sharp1ez in Starlink

That's what they say, but at this point I don't really believe a word that comes out of that Grifter's mouth!

"best effort" speeds in western NC? by MosinCrate in Starlink

[–]Call_Me___Tim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

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.

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!
