I ordered mine February 23 and I just got an email saying that it would not be available until Mid 2022. I live in East Texas. I am looking for satellite internet. My job will not allow me to use mobile data, hotspot or any phone carrier services. I have to use wired or satellite for my job. Any suggestions appreciated.

I made two orders, one for myself and one for Deer Springs RV Park, both in NC. Haven't heard diddly on either one. My life sucks . . . :-(

I ordered 3. My Montana one was supposed to arrive in October, but has been delayed.

My Texas and Florida ones are delayed until mid 2022.

My application for beta testing the mobile one has had no further updates.

I'm inclined to agree with MapNerd's comment.
With that said, I would ask them why this policy is in place & see if you could work with their IT folks to resolve any issues they have with cellular internet service. On the suface it seems somewhat arbitrary & the individual(s) making this decision may not be aware of what technology is available.
