Agreed. And regarding my earlier Shaw comment. Goodbye sat tv.
Internet choice here strictly line of sight rebroadcast towers.
Luckily close to tower so works for me so far.
$135/mo with a gamer teenager.

Anyone on AV get starlink yet?

[AllisWD45]

On waiting list but i know a few guys who are. They live farther south. Speeds consistent at 300-400. They have some 10 minute down times every now and then. Can run every device in the house kids on games movie watching etc. makes no difference. i am supposed to get service in fall $700 and 129/month is reasonable if i can get that kind of service. Pay almost a 100/month for ****all except CBC and CTV and 30 year old re run shows on Bell.
I pay 100 for cell service which is really good since they put up cell tower last fall. The tower is not fusion capable. I have Sask tel fusion at 90/month and average about 1-2 for speed when it does work. I cant wait to get rid of it. We watch netflix streaming on cell phone.

We use Xplornet at the farm. It works for the shop, fast enough service. But the house and cameras are slow.

We are waiting for our call from Starlink. I think its the answer.

Xplornet says they are coming out with new stuff well see but I think they know their goose is cooked.

SF, if you go to fast.com what kind of speeds are you seeing? Do you have a data cap?

[SASKFARMER]

Will check once at the farm.

In Regina, I'm on the new SaskTel High high-speed fiber and it's fast.

The funny thing is the real expensive service I have is in Florida it's fast and is TV, Internet, and Phone. Yes, a landline plus cell service. One package is 200 USA a month.

But they have a shut down of basic when I'm gone and all I do is a phone in and it's 29.99 a month that keeps all my Cameras online and basic TV plus phone.

In Rural Canada we need something because everything is done on the Computer or phone.

The slowest Xplornet LTE, from Kelvington, just now 38 down, 1.8 up.
Latency 53 unloaded, 149 loaded. How is that? HD movies work perfect. $140, $20 more supposed to be double that.

[Washout]

Paying $122.09 every month for what is supposed to be 50Mbps service. And this is the best Xplornet can do??



Pre - Ordered Starlink February 9th, can't wait to tell Xplornet where to go...also intend to return their crappy equipment to them in the Starlink box just to rub it in some more
