I seriously doubt things have improved much in those 8 years. I would be willing to bet they haven't improved their rainy weather performance at all.

Prob not...but they are very smart on their packages. The Triple Play package makes any changes more costly....you are stuck with it.

Whoops...that could leave those in Western Oregon out. It's rumored that it does rain some here.

I'm guessing Prime members will get the best pricing.

Different size rectangular dishes depending on your chosen internet speed...sounds good.
"Amazon's most miniature model offers speeds of up to 100 megabits per second. A larger 11-inch-square antenna is capable of 400 megabits per second, and a 19-inch by 30-inch model can handle 1 gigabit per second."

There is a movement to make all drugs legal, but only available through Comcast Customer Service.

The orbit of Starlink satellites ranges from 340km up to about 1200 km (there are 3 layers). Geostationary satellites orbit at ~36,000km. I would NOT use traditional GEO style satellite Internet like the Hughes Internet. I would be willing to use Starlink, although I actually get good results from 5G cell service.

I'm more concerned about the free next day delivery.
Will they still honor that?
