I live at the edge, where power and phone lines end. No cable. So we have two land lines, mainly for useable internet, awa Direct TV with dish. Plus our cell phones. Cell reception at my house was at the minimum allowable until recently, AT &T did a tower upgrade. Anyway Starlinks did not supply decent coverage for my area until more recent times. So I have kind of followed along to see how it has gone. It can get really cold here (below -40 F), and at times stay cold for a lengthy period. Was a bit concerned about freeze up, and unless you know someone, hard to get the true facts. We can get some snow when it is cold, but usually not too much. Last few years we have had ice rain and/or really decent wet snow episodes, then an immediate temperature plunge right after. Makes for a real undesirable situation. Not long ago I rode on the plane and sat next to a neighbor who lives less than 5 miles away. I believe they recently installed the latest model. She told me her hubby takes care of it, and they did have some freeze up trouble, until he reset the heater mode to just leave it on most all of time, during winter. Few if any problems since. So I am going for it this summer. Will save me some money. Who knows what the future holds, what with tech, it always just marches onward. Direct TV I think is having some financial trouble. My coms provider probably in similar boat. Common denominator is Starlinks. Have heard it has really went over well up here, out in the villages and so on. Changes related to the internet are still occurring. We had three local TV stations up here for years. Essentially gone now, Anchorage stations recently took them over, with only a few roving local reporters. Newspaper I think is struggling. Craigslist seems to have gone downhill of recent, appears to be migrating to Facebook. Tweets
