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?

With the voice and chat I didn't notice much difference... I am sure it was there but when I tried to play my game... whoo boy.... that was down right horrible. That could have been the spot I was in though. I have only tried it in one location so far(playing games anyways). I am going on another trip in about a week and I was going to give it a go then as well and see how it does.

Voice and video work fine in most cases peer-to-peer. Where you run into issues is with conferencing because the delay can become echo or you end up talking over people.

I understand that. The emphasis was still on "speed" and speed really isn't even an issue anymore. Even wireless has acceptable speed unless you're transferring files.

Latency and available bandwidth are just way more important.

I did miss that part... I only read your first part which seemed to be focusing on the bandwidth.

"It would easily be enough. 50-100 Mbps is going to get you all you need.

https://nordvpn.com/blog/internet-speed-for-gaming/

What is a good internet speed for gaming?
Internet speed of 10-25 Mbps download and 5-10 Mbps upload suits most online gaming needs. The recommended internet speed for gaming depends on several factors, including the type of game, the platform, and the number of players involved.

However, if you’re a serious gamer or streamer, you may want to invest in higher speeds to ensure the best possible gaming experience. Remember — these figures apply to the gaming community.

And you have to make sure you have enough bandwidth. Two or more gamess or multiple people streaming at the same time are going to use up available bandwidth, decreasing speeds for everyone.

Off topic side bar......Dont mean to diss but when I lived in that area Pom de Terre was considered a low rent part of that part of the area. That was 3 decades ago so has the area changed?

Not really, I've owned my lake house since 2001 and everything is basically stuck in the 80s. Taxes are pretty cheap and there isn't much night life. The only downside so far is that people have found the lake and bigger boats are showing up. It used to be mostly pontoons, fishing boats and runabouts. Now, the bigger boats are showing up and making a mess of things. I avoid getting on the water during holidays. Amateur hour and dangerous.

Lots of rednecks around.

Yeah the pontoons, fishing was all there was on that lake back in the day. I had a lot of fun puttering around, drinking some beers. They were more my peeps at the time than hanging at Table Rock.

Down here in Florida there is only one ocean but I still side with the pontoon crowd floating around drinking beer over having some $100K boat that can fly across the water.

It seems like lots of “fast boats” leave big lakes and where they’re small fish in a big pond and go to medium and small lakes to feel like somebody.

Yeah, one of the new crowd had a big boat with double drives put his boat into the cove. The cove where my place is at has a LOT of stumps. We were waving to him to get his attention however he hit the gas and a bunch of stumps. I don't know what happened; the boat has not been seen since.

I've got an old 17' tri-hull with a Merc 1350 on it. It will do 40+ which is plenty fast.
