2.5 amps isn't terrible by any means. I'm curious to see if they can get it down even lower over time.

Getting back to Musk and his companies, I greatly admire him for the things he has created and made happen. Very few people do so much. But I'm not a fan of how he conducts himself and his businesses.
The problem I had with Elon’s tweet was it probably only applied to Ukraine...

...Using only a Falcon 9, Starlink gets 50-60 into space at a time...

Amazing. Deposit (refundable) placed. My service address is at capacity so no delivery until 2023, but this is looking more and more like a viable option for high speed internet while coastal cruising in the US.

Indeed.
That chap did quite a bit of creative engineering to develop a mount. Hopefully we will soon see standard production units that work easily on a boat.
That is exciting
If roaming is enabled in the USA then using Starlink when at at anchor or visiting a marina is feasible.
Anyone know of a location where Starlink is actually delivering terminals?

Quick scan, seems to be in the last 5 minutes or so.
Sam,
Thanks for the update from Mexico. I go through short periods of “No signal” on occasion. There is no real pattern to it, sometimes 10 times over 12 hours, sometimes none. They vary from 2 secs to 10 secs sometimes 15 secs. These are not obstructions so my guess it is handoff to a satellite that doesn’t go as planned (routing of data) or handoff to satellite that is not fully operational so it needs to be switched to a different resource on that satellite or a different satellite. These are what makes voice and video chats a problem at times. The other that affects voice and video is jitter, ie variable latency ranging from 30 to 130ms at times. It will be cruising along at 30ms and jump up to 130ms for 10 to 20 secs and then drop back down. That’s not nice to voice and interactive video.
