    I’m hoping they get this new fiber out here before my Starlink equipment is ready. Gonna be a race to see who gets here first.

    Just wanted to give an update on Starlink. I was still getting great speeds until April 6th when I lost connection and haven't been able to get back online. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with. There is no phone number. You have to submit a help ticket and wait. All I have got from them is a generic email for troubleshooting. Of course that did not work. Who knows if or when they will contact me. So if it is working, you will love it. If not, good luck.

    Shit, I really didn't want to see this. Got my email Monday saying my hardware was ready and that I have 7 days to confirm or cancel......

    Got my email yesterday that my equipment is ready to ship. Just so happens, Spectrum has contractors at the corner of the road and Comporium is about a mile and half away coming our direction. Debating on spending the $541 now and being stuck with equipment you can’t resell, or holding out to see when the local guys get in here

    It's my understanding that you can resale the equipment now.

    Unless I read the agreement wrong, you can’t sell it at all. Who knows though.

    And yes I know Spectrum sucks, but so does working off of a hot spot and cell booster, and only having decent signal in one room of the house.

    I just got out of a meeting with their engineer/planning guys. They propose 4 miles of underground, bored under river, bored through solid rock for large portions, to serve a maximum of 22 homes, actually about 10 because most of us have all the innernets we need.

    How does that math work you ask? Easy. YOU are paying for it.

    Oh, it might interest you to know that you are actually paying for it AGAIN, because AT&T accepted massive tax breaks in the 90's with the GUARANTEE that they would provide the entire US with rural internet. Gotta love capitalism...

    Math works great when its all paid for by the feds..
