That you get it at all?
They estimate a market of potentially tens of millions in the US, but currently are only authorized for 1 million user terminals deployed in the US- and they're first come first serve by area.
They'll eventually get approval for more of course, but the market for this product is folks who currently have no reasonable high speed internet available period- so why would you wait and push yourself further down the line?
If you're in that target group, and are NOT ok with something like crap 3-10 mb dsl, why wouldn't you want it as early as you can get it?
If you're NOT in that target group and already have faster or cheaper options, why would you want it at all, early OR late?

Starlink leaving beta in October? Think it's real this time?
I've been dying for Starlink and signed up for beta when it was first available, seems like a couple years ago. Did the pre-order the day it went live...
but i recently got the Tmobile Home internet and even though Tmobile is crap where I live, I still get about 150mbps speeds, with 2-3 bars signal on the router. I'm pretty happy, max speed available prior to this was about 20 mbps and that wasn't good enough for a family of 5, and cost $70.
anyway, Tmobile Home Internet is only $50 per month all in and I don't have to run any new cables into my house or install anything on my roof or worry about a tree cutting out my service.
Starlink sounds awesome and I might still get in on it eventually, but for now I'm completely satisfied with Tmobile.

I'm keeping both for now, but if you have an option for t-mobile 5g home internet you should try that first.
With 4 bars 5g, we can pull in 300-400mbps during non peak times, but routinely 150+ throughout the day.

The firmware updates on the t-mobile router have sometimes not been terribly great right afterwards...but they seem to settle back down after a few days.
