Backup Internet (Starlink)

Backup Internet (Starlink)

I setup a Starlink as a backup internet connection at home. While my Comcast connection has been reliable from the perspective of the Comcast service side, it is not very reliable from the tree-ripping-down-a-pole side of things.

It was interesting that during setup the dish does some self alignment, and appears to favor a slightly north facing direction, which would appear to be a result of the orbital density being the highest in that direction.

It is relatively quick to setup, and downlink speed was over 200mb and latency in the 50ms range.
