Wonder what the cost is? Never mind. I found on google it’s about $99 a month.

$99 a month
yes thats expensive,
Just hope the speed is higher than time warner high speed internet?

$99 a month
yes thats expensive,

With all due respect, I'm not sure why $99/mo is considered expensive. It's well within the typical range of large data budget cellular plans. If it lives up to its potential I would be able to eliminate one or more of the cellular plans I currently carry to ensure 24/7 internet connection. I'd easily be able to cancel plans costing me $100/mo.

I've already sent in my $99 to hold my place in line. I've been told to expect delivery of my receiver and dish later this year.

That logic is understandable but is the internet connection high speed like time warner cable..
thats my only concern

The experiences being reported from the Starlink beta test indicate that the download speeds should be in the 50-200Mbps range. That's plenty fast enough for me.

Don't like it!!!

I went through the FAQs This service is not yet for vegabonds rather fixed location only.

This service is not yet for vegabonds rather fixed location only.

Recently Starlink filed with the FCC to broaden it's approval to include mobile installations. Furthermore, information from insiders indicates that Starlink is working on a website that will allow users to enter their "new" locations. Clearly, the first step will be to allow people to re-locate themselves. Eventually, actual use by mobile users will be allowed. Mobile use is necessary for most marine applications.

There are some interesting short falls with this service. No port forwarding.... no checking on home IOT.
