Starlink Preorders Begin

[Michael Butash]

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.
