So for many xDSL customers, especially when you factor in throughput, Starlink is still a very worthy option. Also given the fact much POTS infrastructure is going largely unmaintained by ISPs in markets where it's not profitable to upgrade to FTTP, the need of starlink for these users increases even further. Going from 40 ms to 60 ms in CS:GO, using SSH or something is not that noticeable anyway at those latencies.

Hmmm... Michael...
Why Comcast though? Often the most known ISP isn't the best.
Oh wait I forgot about coverage!Last edited by tildearrow; 22 June 2022, 04:53 PM.

Every single speed benchmark is still faster than my VDSL (100Mb in theory, 20Mb actually). But I get better latency. And I pay 29€/mo, no data caps.
Yes, there are no faster options where I live, but supposedly my street will be covered with FTTH in 2023.

Any reason the unofficial speedtest-cli was used? https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli is the official speedtest cli that contains the same engine as the native applications

Michael, can you explain your mount using the Winegard mount a bit more? It looks from your picture you just slid one tube inside another and used some electrical tape to secure it. Is there something more holding it on? What about a major wind storm, can it come off?
I just received my Starlink yesterday but haven't yet ordered a mount for it as I wanted to physically see how it would work, but it looks like a proprietary mounting solution.
Also, have you tried "hacking" the proprietary cable they ship with it? At my desired mount point I have an RJ45 jack in a weather proof box running back to my wiring closet. From what I understand the it should be possible to re-terminate the cable and use my own already run cable as the backhaul rather than trying to run this special cable.

No, I haven't tried hacking the cable.Michael Larabel
