Anyone make the jump to starlink yet?

PowerShell script I wrote. Only run it during the day when the desktop is powered up, and it's occasionally affected when I switch to Ethernet in order to print something. It ain't real sophisticated, just pings a DNS server out there someplace.

do a traceroute and ping the first terrestrial address after the uplink as a parallel test.
kinda interested in RTD/RTT too if you save the ping stats.

The app should give you the connection statistics as well.

Also the goal zero lasted from 10:30am to around 6pm.

Not too shabby. With a 100 watt solar panel input and a sunny day I should be able to run it all the time.

OK, I'll fiddle in that direction and report.

The service will get better. They're launching new satellites monthly. 40 at a time. Then when he enables the lasers the network traffic will have access to an enormous amount of bandwidth from all the uplink antennas around the world. Right now your cell is limited to one antenna. The lasers will combine them all into one.

It's amazing what this man is doing. I hope he is successful.

Maritime safety. Rural internet anywhere in the world with clear view to north sky.

Revised script to aim for 100.64.0.1, we'll see what it does tomorrow.

Starlink

High-speed internet. Available almost anywhere on Earth.

www.starlink.com

There is a new map on the website showing availability.

No issues tonight with Disney+. Streaming their ultra hd IMAX blah blah blah thing. It uses a lot of bandwidth in bursts but the buffer seems to work fine with short interruptions. I did get disconnected once earlier this evening when it was a longer outage that caused the device to stop streaming. Speeds are consistent still.

Multiple streaming devices, 1 in 4k UHD.

The rhythmic beat of the streaming devices filling their buffers.

1 PC is uploading a backup to OneDrive.
