where I am now there are lots of trees so has many obstructions when using the kick stand but laying it flat where we have plenty of open sky did not work at well at all, kept searching and telling me that the dish was not alligned.What numbers are you getting?
My hunch is your Marathon coach is metal walled so paddles indoors won’t work well. You’d need a temporary solution when parked to get an external antenna or a roof mount setup. Newmar’s are fiberglass and probably why paddles can work well for them. No expert. Just a hunch.What’s the best option for cellular that doesn’t require an antenna be mounted on the roof? I have the paddles but it’s not great.
This makes sense to me.My hunch is your Marathon coach is metal walled so paddles indoors won’t work well. You’d need a temporary solution when parked to get an external antenna or a roof mount setup. Newmar’s are fiberglass and probably why paddles can work well for them. No expert. Just a hunch.
Between Elon and Jeff, Neil is getting financial kickbacks enough to retire.I think @Neal needs to talk to his buddy Elon and get us added to the friends & family plan.
Starlink roam plan goes to165/mo but now includes in motion use.
We are using TMobile home internet with 5g access and no data caps.Pathetic excuse to raise the monthly rate - adding features that a VERY small minority can/will use.
May need to consider going back to cellular. Just wish I could find a reasonable cellular plan that has 300gb a month data cap.
I did the math the following way: My travel is typically two-month or less intervals no more than three times a year. So if I take 165*6=990 a year compared to 110/mo (for two carriers) whether I am using the coach or not, which is 1320 a year, yes, you can suspend the cell plans, but there is a catch: If you don't turn it back on fairly quickly, you will get pushed into a higher monthly plan even for prepaid. I have turned off AT&T prepaid and will keep T-mobile for a while longer, but I may turn it off eventually as it is unnecessary.
True, but I have to keep my cellular plans as they aren't available any longer and I can't trust SL to work at every stop. So for me, cellular is my baseline and something I continue to pay, in fact just renewed my AT&T Prepaid to keep it alive today, and SL will be my backup or my luxury option when I want to use it.Though I don’t like the increase, the ability to indefinitely pause it moves the scale towards SL. The cellular options leave me with having to pay for when we don’t travel, or I have to remember to skip one month but pay the next month, in order to not lose that grandfathered ATT plan.
Besides 30,000 speed tests is time consuming.True, but I have to keep my cellular plans as they aren't available any longer and I can't trust SL to work at every stop.
