Starlink

Good to hear.
The local provider gives excellent, fast in person service. And installed a rebroadcast thing to send to shop.
Cost is same. But ya, one tech likened it to a freeway of traffic trying to use a gravel road.

Thats a good question, multiple dishes one account?

I dont think they do that, one dish per account = more revenue

Havent had starlink go down when tv dish does but we will see this winter as dish points straight up and will catch snow. There is a heating element inside of dish that is supposed to keep snow melted off. Snow hasnt affected it so far.

Any interruptions during storms? We have satellite TV and internet, it's a race between them as to which will crap out first when a storm approaches.

In a snow storm the other day starling cut out for a bit in the heaviest snow. It actually has a heater on it to melt the snow.

we have had our system for about a month. We switched from a your link/ explorenet tower that crapped out in peak use periods lots. Its more money but worth it. In the process of looking for a better wi-fi booster system to beam it across the road to the sons house and out to the shop

We had your link. Tower wasn’t too far away but a real poor service. Went to MCS which is based out of St Paul. Tower is only 4 miles away so service has been decent. I’ll support this localish business who has great customer service.

Can you have 2nd dish set up and move receiver only.
Can you have 2 locations set up on the family pac like many do with shaw etc. Mom pays the shot?

The dish is the receiver/modem, it hands out a single CGNAT IP address. You can use the crappy starlink provided router or your own.

Only a single dish per account so far.

agreed! Bet move I made was buying a top line router and replacing the provided one. Increased speed more than when I tried upgrading service.
