It is definitely very satisfying, knowing we have back up electricity with the rain and wind pounding outside at this moment!๐๐๐

Very nice, and that's exactly what I was figuring! We have a very custom system that uses a dual broadband router that connects to mobile networks, and it's on T-Mobile as of late, which has thankfully worked pretty well. I've been strongly considering getting Starlink just for me, however...hehe. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Itโs still a bit on the pricey sideโฆ.$120 a month ๐
We had just reached the point where is Ziply fiber was dropping out four or five times a day?
And it isnโt even fiberโฆ. They just doubled up the thin copper phone lines that run to each house. speeds were 20 to 21 Mbps on a good dayโฆ
Much, much less on a bad day.
We had to cross our fingers every day we posted, hoping that we didnโt lose Internet until we were finished Lol!
Ah, indeed, that is still quite expensive on a monthly basis! I definitely understand that, as I've experienced multiple iterations of abysmal internet. Even though our present internet service is not as good as Starlink, it's still far better, both in speed and bandwidth, and in stability, though I still dream of having Starlink some day. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
We were kind of stuck between bad.... and worse Lol!
Starlink filled the bill!!๐๐๐
Starlink is pretty much the best internet on the planet at the moment! Everyone with whom I've spoken has told me that Starlink works great, and that they love it! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
With communication between satellites with lasers, in the ability to download to a ground station at any point on earth with low latency it's hard to top that!!
Now add the fact that we are solar powered on our end, so we are not dependent on the grid, it makes a very reliable combination!!๐๐
