Starlink or not-to Starlink
Please keep this out of DC....

Looking into possibly making the leap into Starlink.

The reason; we have our primary residence....in addition we have a little shack at the lake that we spend the weekends at during the summer.

Our internet options at the lake [Pomme De Terre] are shit. And we previously paying for two separate Internet service, but obviously the weekend place we used sporadically.

I would LOVE to have something that I can just move between the two houses...

The Starlink Mini, I think, would work at the lake...but I am not sure if it is robust enough to handle our daily internet needs (two teenage boys, wife and I work from home, etc.).

And the "standard" Starlink setup does not appear it can moved as easily as the mini....so I come to CP asking for ideas so I am not paying for two services.

And have we signed this piece of shit yet?

I'm in a similar position; no real good options for internet in Hickory county. Neighbor has Starlink which he says cost about $200 per month plus equipment. I have a Verizon hotspot that works for checking emails however my 5 gig plan won't offer up much in the way of TV watching.

I'm curious as to what you decide, what side of the lake are you on? Pomme or Lindley?

I'm on the Lindley side between Nemo and Pittsburgh.

I checked the Starlink site, there's an $80 and $120 per month option with $145 special for equipment. I try not to use the internet while at the lake, it sort of defeats the purpose of getting away from the city.

I'm no expert however the 5G like T-Mobile will share cell phone data so you will get throttled at times. Satellite you know about, StarLink is satellite however it's better than traditional as there's more satellites in the sky.

Get those kids out of the house and working in the lawn or fixing the boat. No need to play games while at the lake. There's always something to be fixed.

Starlink is better than traditional satellite internet not only due to the presence of more satellites but the Starlink satellites are actually closer to earth lowering round trip latency.

They still won't outperform 5G in most places but 5G isn't available ina lot of remote areas (at least not yet) whereas Starlink is largely ubiquitous in the lower 48.

I've never heard a bad thing about Starlink... I don't have it, but have used it a few times and never had issues with video chats, streaming, etc. I know several people who use it as their primary internet for work, whether it's from home or BFE in an RV and they love it.

I have T-Mobile Wi-Fi as a backup at my hope. I work from how 2 days a week so the last thing I want to do it go to the office if the internet is out..

The T Mobile is great because I can then just take it with me when I travel if I need it. Works great.

Why not just get the roam unlimited? It's $165/month, but you can take it back and forth. Also no data caps. It will easily be enough for all your needs.

You’re referring to the mini with the roam unlimited, right?

I think that will work for the lake…but I’m worried it won’t be enough to support my primary residence. I’m internet dumb, so maybe it will be more than enough.
