    It’s been over a year since the last big Starlink outage. That’s a lot better than my old DSL provider.

        I live in a country praised for its IT industry, digital government and whatever

        I got off ADSL in 2024. Fucking lol. I don’t even live on a farm or anything. Lucky to receive fiber though, now they want to prioritize 5G home connections instead.

      yeah? For some reason I thought it had outages here and there all the time.

      Still, they were down for almost 3 hours today and that’s a lot worse than my old DSL provider.

        I have a place in the boonies and I use starlink. I find it to be vastly superior to the only other semi-viable option, line of site. Speeds aren’t as great as they use to be and I’ll be happy to change when another better or similar option comes along.

        I do experience mico-outages every few days. Like a 1 to 2 second drop that I would only notice with vid chats or gaming.

        I do have a media server and surf the seven seas. Starlink is crap for that, so I found a new home for it as I move my residence out here.
