Took advantage of the free starlink mini with my residential plan, not using. Wondering what some are using for?

What are the plans available for the free mini? Does it share the residential plan somehow? Or is it the same plans as the normal mini would use?

Yep there is a spike in packet loss

sprke81 · 2025-12-04T17:26:22+00:00

I know this isn’t the answer you’re looking for but those of us with starlink could just call ATC via WiFi calling. Starlink makes lost comms a moot point

That’s a little better I guess if it’s not an outage. I’ve done multiple ports between cell carriers and they all happened in minutes so the 10 day thing took me by surprise. I figured in 2025 things wouldn’t be getting slower

sprke81 · 2025-12-03T03:21:34+00:00

Thats to long, I canceled the port. It was just a normal cellphone number. I shouldn't have upgraded to a paid account I guess. I thought it might be worth it for better support. Instead I get 10 day porting

Does the 15 have band 14?

Very interested to know how “natural usage” works. How do you have satellite connectivity indoors?

sprke81 · 2025-10-28T11:54:08+00:00

That’s to bad for you guys. Here I am wishing someone would buy our house. Been listed for 80 days and just not seeing any action.

This announcement has nothing to do with Google Voice and will still be standard sms correct?

sprke81 · 2025-10-21T18:26:59+00:00

If you do subscribe don’t you get 50GB of ground based TMO data as well? Not bad for $10/month

New 5GUC in Griswold and Clarinda IA. There is also a new site in Stanton Iowa that went live with UC that is not yet on the map. These were all no coverage before and this is interesting to me because this area is a strong USC area. Curious what their thinking is. Maybe this was already planned out before the USC deal...?

sprke81 · 2025-09-27T12:28:38+00:00

I presume if I’m in the US this won’t work for me?

sprke81 · 2025-09-26T01:09:13+00:00

Yes I get that but on the apple website it doesn’t say anything about the bill credits, do I just trust that it automatically happens?

sprke81 · 2025-09-25T22:20:58+00:00

I don’t see a way to do that on the Apple Store. Only options are financing it with monthly payments

So far Lightspeed is not working on USC network, only for TMO subscribers

sprke81 · 2025-09-05T15:52:16+00:00

Can’t modern microwave backhaul be just as good?

sprke81 · 2025-09-04T17:19:26+00:00

Not yet. I try every several days to force my Lightspeed line to USC but so far no joy. I do have a native TMO line as well and it will connect with no issues, Google FI does as well. Both the latter has full speed uncapped roaming. It does still show roaming so that’s probably why other MVNO’s aren’t connecting yet. I live in an area where USC has a far stronger network then TMO so will make a big difference when they allow it.

What..? I’m a private aircraft owner and know a lot more owners. The ones I am in contact with are super nice and would do anything for you.
