Starlink - Anyone get it yet?

The amount of stuff that's up there is ruining the night sky and I really got to wonder how safe are launches with the LEO stuff particularly.

Smells more of fearmongering than Killybegs smells of fish.

Aren't rare earth minerals already falling to the earth constantly from meteorites?

48 tons a day according to this.

Plus the article he linked about black carbon pollution applies significantly less to the cleaner burning methane engines on Starship than it does to Falcon 9's RP1 engines. Its definitely an issue with RP1 rockets though, whole reason they come back down looking like they've spent a day in the bog bagging turf.

There is something to be said about the light pollution alright & Kessler syndrome is definitely something to keep an eye on, but you could launch a James Webb size satellite observatory with no folding mirrors comfortably in Starship's faring. It makes Luvoir-A seem almost achievable rather than a pipedream.

" for the benefit of a few, but at a cost that will impact everyone" He's lost me there now.

My invoice was generated on the 27th August, which is for the period starting September 3rd.

Your invoice must have been generated on 21st August, so it was the old rate (pre August 24th).

Starlink internet satellite dish installing - A.T.V. Poles, Brackets, Clamps & Aerials (aerialsandtv.com)

ATV customers' Starlink installations - A.T.V. Poles, Brackets, Clamps & Aerials (aerialsandtv.com)

is there anyone doing complete install of these (meath) - supplying all kit, mounting on roof and running all cables?

i see theres a few offering the "install on roof after you buy it yourself" option

Still have a dish for sale. First generation going for 450

if anyone has a spare SL ethernet adapter id gladly take it off their hands

If you read the Starlink reddit page, there is a lot of unhappy users in the states now reporting over subscribing and speeds in single digit numbers. I hadnt been on the page in months and was actually shocked how the sentiment has turned over there. Lots of people reporting terrible speeds.

I hope that doesnt happen here - not sure how it works in terms of cells being in use for it to become oversubscribed for one region. For the size or Ireland are we all on the one or would we be hitting the same "cells" as the UK for example?

For now though, its still going strong for me - avg 200Mb down and 20 up. Ping is pretty awful so makes online gaming a bit of a struggle.

As long as it can hold out until NBI arrive then we are good.

cheers @ItHurtsWhenIP I do (or did) play a small bit online, but not fussed about it, I did notice that my VPN to work was having issues and voice calls on occasion were iffy, thats when I opened the app and saw the amount of dropouts. It had me a little concerned but its not bad to be fair.

Same here:

p.s. I don't use the Starlink WiFi, hence no result for it.

few points to note on this.

1. Only applies to residential accounts for BOTH buyer and seller. Equipment is "assigned " this account designation via its mac address. only starlink can reassign and they wont unless they receive the equipment back. (30 day refund policy and or warranty / RMA )
2. Transfer only allowed if both seller and buyer are on residential package.
3. Seller must have an active residential contract at the time the transfer is occurring.
4. Buyer address and installation site must be in an open starlink cell ( check before buying ! )
5. Process starts with the seller contacting starlink to indicate intent to transfer ownership....so now you know why the sellers account needs to be an active one, only active accounts can contact SL support ! Starlink will be only too happy to facilitate the transfer once their criteria is met. They absolutely need to know where the equipment is for service and need confirmed account details for billing. They are not interested in the deal / price between seller and buyer.
6. SL will make the transfer of service available.
7. Buyer, make sure the equipment is working. or at least not "stowed" for long. its not uncommon for the firmware to be too far back and problematic to upgrade. in some case we have seen the unit bricked and a replacement is the only option in that case
8. like everything....buyer beware.

Please do not update any of the current contact information in your account before submitting your request, or while the request is being reviewed. Starlink is not responsible for anything related to the selling of the dish and cannot guarantee all transfer requests can be accommodated.
