I am very interested in your experiences as well, jyl, if you go the Starlink route.

Best.

I'm surprised that you had relatively good luck with Hughes. I used to work with a place (23 years ago) that was the tech support for what was then called Hughes DirectPC. I've also heard from folks in my "local" rural area that have had bad luck with them recently.

I'm intimately familiar with that sort of service from a behind the scenes point of view, granted, on a commercial basis vs residential. I'm sure it could work OK until the weather went to hell. I didn't want to deal with the latency associated with a geosynchronous satellite.

I have my Internet through T-Mobile. Because I'm working from home, I purchased a commercial SOHO/branch style router to provide the service. I'm also fairly close to I-10, so I think most of the carriers try to have great coverage near major Interstates which is probably also more in my favor than some folks that are no where near an interstate.

The biggest downside to my current setup is that I have a 100Gig/Month contract, which is not really adequate for WFH + surfing + streaming TV. I recently bought a second SIM with a second 100G/m contract since my wife is going to be home more, and we were going to run out of service before the end of the month.
