That said; I'm not sure that there's any burning need to jump on a Pre-Order list. The cost of equipment, taxes and service fees will price a fair number of people out. We're still in the blue sky phase of this enterprise, and Elon tends to talk a lot of shite. I'd like to see how real Starlink continues to be once it gets past Beta.
And finally - no. The Starlink business model is not designed to roll out to every Shekgalagari village in Botswana. While it would be nice to ensure that every amenity is available globally for a tiny fraction of what it costs to provide, that's a "somebody else's money" solution.
No putting this on your RV.
Are people seeing speeds where it is worth the extra $500? I read online that some people are having massive speed drops since more people have connected but nothing is verified. Does anyone here actually have the system running and can share insight?
If 5g home ever gets released nationwide (in the USA) I can't see Starlink being able to compete in the long run.....
Also 20ms is a lie- it's theoretically not possible even in low orbit for them to achieve this on a round trip transmission
