anyone have a strong opinion (pro or con) on #starlink? we're paying almost $300 USD/month for high-speed (but no fiber) internet. US Mobile has an add-on for $55/mo Starlink.

Any advice?

Starlink is always batting its eyelashes at me... I'm just waiting for what feels like a good deal.

Before you compare, check which $55 plan US Mobile is offering, because two Starlink plans cost $55 and they're very different: - Roam 100 GB ($55): portable, works in motion, but only 100 GB of high-speed data a month, then low-speed (US Mobile's help page says enough for calls and email, not vide...

I hear only good things about it here in Australia. But IDK how well it scales with congestion. If you're in a metropolitan center with a lot of nearby Starlink customers, try before you buy...

Starlink is good. All companies are evil so its not really any different

There are two very different $55 Starlink plans, so before switching, find out which one US Mobile is reselling. The Roam version gives you a hard 100GB cap per month, fine for travel, rough as a full home replacement. The Residential version at $55 is unlimited home data at about 100 Mbps, which wo...

no strong opinion on the name. four things decide the experience: 1. obstruction. any tree inside the dish's view cone gives you dropouts of a few seconds every few minutes, and it never improves. the app has an obstruction checker; stand where the dish will actually go and run it before you pay. c...

Before comparing prices, check what the $55 add-on actually is. Carrier 'Starlink' add-ons are often direct-to-cell satellite service (texting/low-bandwidth data when your phone has no tower), not Starlink home broadband with a dish. Those are very different products. If you want Starlink as home in...

You’re paying $300 a month?? That is wild.

Seems like a no-brainer. We're paying...*gulp*...I don't to say. Going to pull the thread on this carrier switching thing then hopefully make the switch this week. Appreciate your feedback 🤙

yo @Sergio what's up OG

What pilsner do you serve most? What would you recommend? I've been enjoying Bitbuger Premium Pils but it's hard to find around here. Also really like Troeg's Sunshine Pilsner but can't even find it. Any suggestions?

We have been serving Sierra Nevada Pils alot. If you can find the Wise Acre Tiny Bomb. Its my favorite.

Can’t make calls with silent link… it’s pretty much only good for data lines… Mint mobile is probably the cheapest on the market… I switched 2 lines from att that I was paying 145$ a month...

Mint Mobile looks much, much cheaper than Verizon, but US Mobile may be even cheaper--and the "carrier-switching" feature looks interesting. We live in the boonies, surrounded by other boonies, so the idea that we could possibly "switch" (right from phone settings) to whichever carrier has the strongest signal is intriguing. I mean, the idea of paying $15/mo sounds incredible. To add a third line to our current unlimited plan with verizon was like $75 (😵).
