    I think people will start to buy more farmhouses thanks to starlink internet. Because the only thing keeping me in the city is that I need high speed internet for my job.

    Got my unit Tuesday. Works great so far. I feel like we just came out of the Stone Age, not having to wait on YouTube to buffer

    Sandhills Telephone. Paying 80.00 to sandhills. 110.00 to Mr. Musk. Going to give it a month to see how things go then cancel Sandhills all together. 225.00 mo for phones/internet currently. Do a voIP phone or just use cell. Trying to figure out how to keep our main number in that case.

    Had it for a month now and it's been flawless. Question for those that know more about this shit than I do....

    I want to run it to my building thats about 50 yards from the house. What do I need? Can I run a cable from the Starlink box to the building and connect it to another router or extender or whatever you call those things?

    FCC authorizes SpaceX to provide mobile Starlink internet service to boats, planes and trucks

    JUN 30 2022
    Michael Sheetz

    The Federal Communications Commission authorized SpaceX to provide Starlink satellite internet to vehicles in motion, a key step for Elon Musk’s company to further expand the service.

    “Authorizing a new class of [customer] terminals for SpaceX’s satellite system will expand the range of broadband capabilities to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move, whether driving an RV across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a U.S. port, or while on a domestic or international flight,” FCC international bureau chief Tom Sullivan wrote in the authorization posted Thursday.

    SpaceX did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the FCC decision.

    Starlink is SpaceX’s network of satellites in low Earth orbit, designed to deliver high-speed internet anywhere on the globe. SpaceX has launched about 2,700 satellites to support the global network, with the base price of the service costing users $110 a month. As of May, SpaceX told the FCC that Starlink had more than 400,000 subscribers.

    SpaceX has signed early deals with commercial air carriers in preparation for this decision: It has pacts with Hawaiian Airlines and semiprivate charter provider JSX to provide Wi-Fi on planes. Up until now SpaceX has been approved to conduct a limited amount of inflight testing, seeing the aviation Wi-Fi market as “ripe for an overhaul.”

    The FCC’s authorization also includes connecting to ships and vehicles like semitrucks and RVs, with SpaceX having last year requested to expand from servicing stationary customers. SpaceX had already deployed a version of its service called “Starlink for RVs,” with an additional “portability” fee. But portability is not the same as mobility, which the FCC’s decision now allows.

    The FCC imposed conditions on in-motion Starlink service. SpaceX is required to “accept any interference received from both current and future services authorized,” and further investment in Starlink will “assume the risk that operations may be subject to additional conditions or requirements” from the FCC.

    The ruling did not resolve a broader SpaceX regulatory dispute with Dish Network and RS Access, an entity backed by billionaire Michael Dell, over the use of 12-gigahertz band — a range of frequency used for broadband communications. The FCC continues to analyze whether the band can support both ground-based and space-based services, with SpaceX pushing for the regulator to make a ruling.

    I’m waiting on the IPO. Musk said earlier this month that he won’t go public until at least 2025.

    The Starlink satellite internet for boats will cost you $5,000 a month
    Its hardware will set you back $10,000.

    Mariella Moon

    July 8, 2022

    Starlink has launched a ruggedized version of its dish for boats, ships and yachts, merely a few days after the FCC gave it permission to provide internet service to vehicles. The satellite internet provider says Starlink Maritime can deliver up to 350 Mbps download speeds while at sea, which isn't bad at all for boats that didn't have an internet connection to begin with. However, it doesn't come cheap: The hardware alone will set customers back $10,000, which they have to pay for up front.

    The service itself costs $5,000 a month, though like Starlink for RVs, customers can pause it when it's not in use. They can choose which billing cycle to begin their pause, but they'll still have to pay for the full month whenever they switch the service on. In comparison, the residential Starlink setup's hardware costs only $599, while the service costs $110 a month.

    SpaceX chief Elon Musk explained on Twitter that Starlink Maritime's antennae differ from their residential counterpart. They're "dual, high performance terminals," he said, and have the power to maintain connection in choppy seas and heavy storms. The terminals were also designed to be able to withstand "relentless salt spray [and] extreme winds [and] storms." Musk said SpaceX has been paying $150,000 a month for "a much worse connection" on its ships.

    The Starlink Maritime page also mentions that the service allows you to connect from the most remote waters across the world, but it's worth noting that its coverage area is still limited. At the moment, it will only work in the coastal waters of the USA (not including Alaska), Europe (except most of Norway, Sweden and Finland), Australia, Brazil, Chile, most of the southern part of Australia and New Zealand. Starlink is expected to roll out connectivity to more locations in the fourth quarter of 2022 and next year.

    SpaceX has long had plans to connect moving vehicles to the Starlink network and even previewed a ruggedized dish for boats and planes way back in 2021. It's only just a few days ago, though, when the Federal Communications Commission authorized a new class of terminals for the satellite internet service "to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move."

    After having mine for a few months, I have been pleasantly surprised. Only complaint I have is when I am screen sharing through Microsoft Teams, etc. It loses sight of a satellite and has to lock back on, all video and audio freeze for 10 seconds. Seems like it does it about once every 15 mins or so. I don’t even notice with normal work, only with video/audio transmissions. I haven’t set any streaming services up yet, but plan on it real soon

    Got starlink a few weeks back. Had it in the yard & the trees & house were messing with it. Speed was ok, but service would drop. We had an older tv antenna previous home owner had on the roof. Saturday I took it down & made some modifications to it & put the starlink on the roof. Damn speed is awesome & no issues, even in heavy storms.
