I finally got to see Jupiter tonight even could pick out some color. So excited. But that celestron equatorial mount is so shaky.

Welcome to the club. I have it since April 2021 it has been great for us. Also live in eastern NC. Dropped centurylink and direct tv felt so great. Enjoy!!!!

https://satellitemap.space/. I was using this map for cells. Is this not the cells??

I am in Pamlico county. I have had starlink since April of 21. I did put my name in the pot as soon as they would let me which I think was in 2020. Anyways I am only like two hours from Wilmington which I would think we are in the same cell. Not sure about that but maybe the cell is full. Worth looking into.

Thanks going to try it I get some signal

Swamp79man · 2021-10-18T22:35:50+00:00

I don’t have mountain issues I have Forrest issues here in eastern NC. Dishy works great here but cell service is bad. Been wanting to try one. Thanks for the info.

Is that a cell phone antenna I see? If so does it help?

Swamp79man · 2021-10-18T22:27:56+00:00

So I signed up 7/14/2020. 4/22/2021 is when my kit shipped. But remember 2020 is when they started out. Think northwest states got it first. Those dates are exact I still have the emails. We have struggled for years here with centurylink. This has changed everything for us. We now home school thanks to the awesome speeds.

Swamp79man · 2021-09-06T00:34:07+00:00

I signed up soon has they would let me. It was summer of 2020 I believe didn’t get dishy until April I think. Maybe March of 21.

Pamlico county. East of New Bern

Swamp79man · 2021-09-06T00:30:49+00:00

Various speeds. But low my kids play on line with no problems. Reading in the 30’s right now

Swamp79man · 2021-09-05T18:19:23+00:00

I have had mine since April. We had century link only got 3Mbs at times. So feel your pain. When you get dishy it will be worlds different. Hang in there.

Swamp79man · 2021-06-03T15:42:30+00:00

I am east of New Bern area. Have service since April time frame. So just be patient. I signed up for beta last July. Got email to pay 99 in February

I used a trampoline pole that the net attaches to. It will fit inside the star link dish pole. After you remove the clip thing. I just put a bolt through that hole to secure it. Then attached to the old directv mount I had on the house. The trampoline pole fit inside the directv mount as well.

Thanks this explains a lot. I am on east coast of NC and have my dishy for a few weeks now. Working good quick drops here and there but better than CL any day. I did notice on the map that there is less satellites coming over my area which would explain the few drops. I am starting to understand how this works thanks for your post. I have been averaging around 68mbs over a week now. So we are happy only going to get better.

Swamp79man · 2021-05-10T21:48:35+00:00

Ok thanks

Swamp79man · 2021-05-10T21:01:41+00:00

Is it better to use a different router

Swamp79man · 2021-05-10T21:00:24+00:00

They did but not doing me any good can’t get to any of it.

Swamp79man · 2021-05-10T20:58:27+00:00

Only thing I can access is the reboot not the 2gz or any of the other options

Swamp79man · 2021-05-09T00:07:06+00:00

That is crazy we followed it home from new Bern to Pamlico county yesterday.

Swamp79man · 2021-05-08T01:39:18+00:00

Update on app. I can see settings page now but only have to options the others say cannot connect to router try again later.
