I ordered the pre-order and plunked down the $99 to be on the wait list. If it works well enough for the first month when I get it, I will cancel Centurylink and just use Starlink with Cox as the backup.

Looking forward to it.

They claim 50Mbps to 150Mbps data rates and latency from 20ms to 40ms.  Initial testing has shown a bit lower than that, upload speeds have varied from 10Mbps to 30Mbps and download speeds from 15Mbps to 120Mbps, which for satellite-type connectivity is pretty amazing, particularly without the usual 500ms latency for those services.

If I were stuck in a rural area with some 3Mbps broadband download (even cities like San Francisco), I'd be all over this for $100 bucks a month and $500 for the dish array.
