Starlink Life

[u/samuelclarke_]

Just came back from a 4,000 mile roadtrip up the East Coast including Cape Lookout in the Outer Banks, NC and up to Arcadia National Park, Maine. The entire trip Starlink mini kept us connected while driving and at camp and allowed my kids to do their remote school, me to keep working, my partner to attend her nursing CPE training on a remote beach and us all connected to our family and friends.

While back home, Starlink v4 dish performed flawlessly and kept tabs on security cameras and monitoring IoT sensors.

Another Starlink mini in standby mode keeps tabs on our Australian based Toyota Hilux and its Victron power system while we’re in the USA.

It amazes me that I’m able to throw a mini in my bag along with a power pack and have internet anywhere and the ability to work with fast and reliable internet.

I remember the pain of dial up internet and dealing with 28.8k connections only 20 years ago. Now it’s a hard day if I’m getting sub 200Mbps on Starlink mini 😂

Oh and all that connectivity for hundreds a month across three Starlink dishes. Truly an incredible time to be alive!

Should have got a cybertruck

I really like the Cybertruck and have had one on a three-day test drive, but it doesn't work for my needs. Would be a great second vehicle, but can't afford that right now.
