## What Jamie wrote

I haven't been following [Starlink](https://www.starlink.com) that closely but some recent coverage made me look. At our cabin we only have DSL and the performance is not great. Looking at Starlink I can get more than 10x the performance for only about 10% more a month. It turns out I can order Starlink right now, there is enough coverage, but I’m holding off for two reasons.

1. Users say every couple of hours you lose signal for a minute or so while it locks to a new satellite. That would not be good for certain use cases.
2. I’m looking at using Unifi networking gear and [Configuring Ubiquiti Unifi Gear for Starlink](https://www.amandablevins.com/blog/2021/3/4/configuring-ubiquiti-unifi-gear-for-starlink) involves static routes and other unnatural acts that I have no interest in tackling.

I did come away feeling that Starlink was much more real than I thought it was. And I love the potential disruption this will cause to the broadband market.
