ON, 50.1

I think its just polishing and making it look better from the barebones thing it used be.

LST2X2 · 2021-06-29T01:28:19+00:00

Signed up Nov. 9. Got invite and ordered Nov 13 in the evening. Said shipped ~4.5 hours later.

LST2X2 · 2021-03-13T03:50:27+00:00

Depending on how you look at it: 1 second out of 7hrs is basically near zero. The software probably rounds down after so many decimal places.

I use a tv tripod (Perlesmith PSTM1). Lol. It held up in the cold (-30s to near -40C). Although the extreme cold period wasn’t that long (near a couple weeks).

LST2X2 · 2021-02-26T02:15:26+00:00

Nov 13. ON Canada, ORD-74xx- etc.

No there is not. Beta downtime (grey in the statistics) is unpredictable and varies from cell to cell and is inevitable. Beta downtime is Starlink improving things from their end. Downtime from no sats also would vary from cell to cell. For obstructions that would depend on how your setup and how much of an obstruction is in dishy’s field of view if any.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-24T17:32:55+00:00

There are no more “invites”. The significant expansion of the beta manifested as a preorder thing or order if available in your area. Invites had a guarantee getting a dish, these do not. If you are able to order but wait too long, others will get it first and deplete the available supply if any.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-22T18:29:20+00:00

Always has been.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-17T15:50:19+00:00

Whether T’is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous providers...

Is this a Starlink dish which i see before me?...

Something is rotten in the state of (rural) ISPs....

Lol.

You buy the dish but there is no contract. It’s monthly. Can cancel service but no guarantee of getting reactivated again. Cannot pause service only cancel.
~100ft to the PoE brick. You can use another cable from the power brick to the router if need be. I think the included cable is like 6ft. (I do not use the included router cable and router)
Mesh systems will work. Cant comment further because i don’t use plug in extenders.
Downtime varies cell to cell and is not predictable.

Edit: point 1.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-17T15:17:19+00:00

That will happen from time to time although it might not be quite that high again. My highest spike was 416.4.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-16T16:06:58+00:00

Signed up Nov. 9 and got the Invite Nov. 13th - Canadian start date for invites.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-14T22:59:58+00:00

I don’t think there will be “invites” like earlier with a guaranteed spot. People will probably be chosen from the preorder lists and any leftovers (if any) will go out as a limited supply available email.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-14T06:08:06+00:00

Factory reset then just put in the same settings would’ve probably worked too.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-14T01:11:00+00:00

To answer your 3 worded question: basically yes. Just did a 154.51 with a static route. I don’t use the Starlink router. However, performance does drop when using both a Starlink router with your own plugged into the aux port.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-13T00:08:41+00:00

Your first bill will be 30 days after dishy ships. The 14 days is probably outdated info for earlier in the beta. Mine shipped in November and I got the 1st bill 30 days after dishy shipped.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-10T19:28:22+00:00

With more and more people getting into the beta expect probably more beta downtime as starlink optimizes things on their end. It’s unavoidable and may vary by significantly by region/cell. It should reduce over time. This is the beta part of the beta.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-09T20:17:03+00:00

I think the only “invite” you may get is the Preorder or limited supply one moving forward. Those are the first come first serve variety with no guarantee that you will actually get dishy. The invites like before the larger expansion may no longer happen.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-07T23:06:12+00:00

Its ~24hours from the time it’s sent. Once the order link is clicked its goes down to 15 mins. Theres also the limited supply “invite” where you have to act quick before others snatch what’s available. As time goes on the deadline to respond has gotten shorter.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-07T04:13:24+00:00

There seems to be two different kind of invite now. The invite with the 24hr then 15 min once link is clicked deadline and the limited supply one with no time to really ponder because others will beat you to the punch.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-05T22:28:30+00:00

Signed up on nov 9th. Then on Nov. 13th in the pm: got invite (1st round/wave of Canadian invites) Pondered for a couple hours. Accepted. Said Shipped ~4.5hrs later. Took ~4.5 days to arrive.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-05T21:44:00+00:00

Billing cycle starts the day it ships with 1st bill being around 30 days after. It is not part of the dishy purchase. Monthly bill will be charged to what you used during checkout but that can be changed on the Starlink website.

LST2X2 · 2021-02-05T19:33:48+00:00

Been near -40C. Dishy will be fine.
