Tomas. Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I have/had it as well. I bought it when it was on sale for $200 Canadian. Speeds were extremely meh for the $150 a month I was paying. Went back to my old provider that is definitely slower but at $50/month I don't care. In my area the cost just didn't justify the performance. I had a subscription for 4 months. Zero obstructions. I am 30 mins west of Edmonton Alberta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed quite a few of them on my last trip sitting on RVs. Reviews online are hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepybrew Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 my brother has it and loves it. he has incredible connection speeds. he had shit before that. i think the antenna was 750.00 and it's 90.00 a month. he is thrilled, has had nothing but bullshit for years. my local internet is 93.00 a month , so just the antenna costs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticCrusher Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 They work great but need a clear site. 150meg in Florida and about 50meg in Ontario. Ontario has obstructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews online are hit and miss. I considered Starlink. Too many mixed reviews from those in the overland community for me to take the plunge. I have a set up that’s works 90% of the time even in the woods. The cost is also ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the mobility of it. Right now I use my cell as a hotspot to watch TV in the RV. It blows through data pretty fast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works in some rather remote areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill try it on my next trip. 480p will for sure use a ton less data however 720p might be a nice sweet spot for data usage and quality. Many people can't even see the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen smaller than 50". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
