Satellite signals are low power and rely on line of sight. If he's properly in the woods, especially surrounded by hills, the trees could become a hinderance.

- jliptzin 11mo agoMy home is in the woods. Took me a while to switch to Starlink because it was difficult to get line of sight. Eventually, Xfinity pissed me off so much that I was willing to move heaven and earth to move to Starlink. I ended up running a 300 foot cat6 cable through a pond to the back of my property to the only place I'd get line of sight and it's been working great. If you have to pay someone to climb up a tree and mount the dish so it's above the tree line, it's well worth it.
- runjake 11mo agoYeah, I guess I'm just extrapolating my own experience deploying Starlink in austere environments and always managing to get somewhere with a 90 meter cable run of getting good reception -- even in the woods.
