Anyone have any experience with Starlink? I live out in the sticks and have no good internet options. I currently have service through my cell plan, but there are data limits that are exceeded pretty quickly.

I just got a notice from them that we are eligible in this area now. Considering it as our local, whatever the hell you want to all it, service sucks and keeps cutting off while costing small fortune.

if they can deliver on their 25meg speed you might be able to jerk it to her/this commercial and not have buffering issues

Here's a review from someone I follow on YouTube:

One thing about mobility...it sounds like you cannot take it with you on a road trip (not that you would). It's just something the guy in the video was thinking of doing, but apparently Starlink keeps track of your GPS address and doesn't permit use if the dish leaves the GPS cell.

i think the system is designed to do it though. probably for an extra fee, because id imagine it would use more satellites to achieve stability.
