StarLink

A satellite internet service.
I recently upgraded to StarLink. I purchased the hardware through Amazon. It took 2-3 weeks from when I ordered it before I received the hardware. StarLink is an internet service run via satellites. It has matured in the last several years to the point where it is usable for a developer. Before ordering you should check to see if its available in your area. Go to http://starlink.com Some technical notes: 1) I have android, and you want to set up your account on the starlink website first. The android setup of accounts is slightly broken... essentially when you begin to identify locations, the android app ends up with a blank screen. If you have an existing account, you can skip the blank screen issue. 2) Once you have activated your dish, http://dishy.starlink.com is actually the router on your local net. Its useful because you can test the speed of the dish from the router. In my case 83 Mbs down, 14 mbs up. |
