Anyone using this system?

I could pick it up but the costs here in NZ are crazy.

I'm also interested in the upcoming v2 version of the satellites which I understand will greatly improve bandwidth etc. for the system. But can't occur until they get their Starbase ships flying in order to take them into LEO

Hi Avon,

Anyone using this system?

I looked at it for home, and even made the deposit. Then about four
months latter the NBN guys did some work, and the fixed wireless has been
so much better. The signal used to drop to low levels, and go into the
red. Now it's solid two bar orange and I'm getting my purchased speed of
25mb..

So when I got the email saying that my spot was ready, I cancled.

Starlink isn't designed for someone like you who has a fibre connection
into his house. It's for people that have no or poor connections.
