What’re your download and upload speeds like?

  Mine gets between 50-150mbps, sometimes 200-300 down. Up is between 20-40 from the tests I have done. Exactly as promised. My ping has gone from 40-60ms, and now is regularly around 20. This was just in a matter of months, and also me fucking with it for hours to try to find the best placement. I still have the occasional drop out... I can't make it through a video conference, or wifi call without a freeze up or audio drop. My Starlink app says "No obstructions" but also says "Obstructed for 4 minutes" on a regular basis. Many people seem to echo this. I'm not honestly sure if this is what to expect or not. I generally switch to my 1.5Mbps DSL line for phone calls and video conferences, which lowers the quality a ton, but at least I don't have to ask people to repeat the last 30 seconds. Web surfing and downloading large files is blazing fast, and multiple people sharing the link seems to have no impact on the quality. Video streaming is fantastic. Another downside is that you're behind a CGNAT, so you'll never get a public IP address. Then their router puts you behind another NAT... StarLink is better than nothing for sure. But if Comcast didn't want $25,000 to run 550 feet of cable to my house, I would probably use that instead. I now have to call in an arborist or someone and top some trees that I am guessing are causing temporary obstructions, but I'm not really sure. I have a lot of trees on my property.
