Michael Tsai - Blog - Starlink Review

I haven't been following Starlink 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 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.
