Starlink

[bradlutz]

Any facility’s using Starlink for members? Trying to figure out a way to upgrade our junk internet.

I have Starlink. It would be hard at a facility cus you’d need to mount it to the roof or something. Do you have any specific questions?

How do you like it? My retired primary mounted his on a boat and sails around the Caribbean.

I know a few people who have the small portable version and use it in their GA airplane.

Did they charge you as a buisness? We’re looking into it but because of the address they want to charge it as a buisness which is a significant price increase.

Our manager and tec ops basically gave us the go ahead so that’s not really our problem. We are mostly trying to figure out how our local is going to pay for it. If Starlink requires a business account for the type of user we would have.

would you recommend it at all.

We are trying to figure out the same thing. But to be honest the business account isn’t much more expensive than the junk internet we have now.

We use T-Mobile for business. $50 a month, uses their 5G network, get speeds in the 200GB range. Got a bunch of Mesh WIFI extenders to spread across the facility, good to go.

I’m not sure, I’ll ask today.

It’s been pretty solid, Saturdays and Sundays were usually steaming multiple football games while others use it to PC game/stream personal stuff and it only gives occasional lag- usually when changing a channel or something. It’s sometimes ran into problems though, was really slow for 2-3 days a few months back then I think they had to fix something with the setup.

Unfortunately not an option at my facility. We don’t even have 5G in our town yet.

How do you like it in general? Also where are you at in the country?

Does your town have Verizon Wireless? I have it and could easily put it in my facility. Only 35 bucks a month for personal use and they don't really monitor if you move it.

Fat Porry?

Fat Porry?

If he was Fat Porry I would be shocked. That said he did always get my historical and political references… so there is a chance.

Unfortunately we only have Verizon 4g. Supposed to eventually have the 5G network but it’s slow getting here.

I thought it would never show, but it did. Just put yourself on the email list. Or even if you have someone with a address that it does work at, you can just bring it to the facility. (Ie. Use your parents address)
