CC - to expand on what I said before. I used my own router for wifi and had the cc router wifi disbaled - connected to my router by ethernet. My parents live down the road and also had one option for "broadband" - they used the CC provided router for wifi. We both had continuous issues, usually fixed by rebooting.

I thought my connection was "good enough" until I started working from home. My son was also doing college remotely. I would frequently get dropped from calls.

Starlink - first, OMG the setup process was so easy! reminds me of most of my Apple products. From unboxing to it working was maybe 10 minutes - with the dish sitting on the ground and the wiring running through an open door.

My initial set up did have issues with the signal being blocked by trees. Once I was convinced the service worked and I was going to keep it, I moved the dish to my garage roof.

If you have not already done so, you can download the Starlink app. Go to a spot in your yard you are thinking about using for the dish and in the app follow the steps to check visibility. It will show you any obstructions. Using that you can tell if it is going to work in a particular spot. My yard has tree covered hill in the back yard, which also happens to be the direction my dish points. I have a two story house, garage is single story. Putting the dish on my garage roof was sufficient and I have zero obstructions for the last 18 months.

The signal does drop during intense weather - heavy rain or snow.

Ive heard customer service is bad and it is hard to reach them - I have not needed to so can not comment.

Elon is a shit show - so there is that factor.

They raised the price after I signed up, that was annoying. Started at $99/month and now it is $110/month. Although in my case I was paying CC about $60/month and that is gone so.

I had consolidated for years, only option available. It was terrible. I rarely got the speed I was paying for. Had to restart router frequently. Hated it. I had 25 with the two lines paired. I rarely saw that down speed and the up was often around 2-5.

I’ve been on Starlink for about two years now. Compared to consolidated I love it. If fiber is ever an option I would choose that in a second. Until then Starlink is great.

Not having a great day wit my posts. Fixed it.

You are correct. Sixty days. My error.

Carpet baggers gonna carpet bag. Law for transfer of plates is within 30 days of becoming a VT resident.

Edit. The law is actually 60 days. But probably should do it before running to represent your new home state.

Unless of course it’s a common occurrence.

Most people using an MVNO have no idea who the underlying service is from.

I’m using US Mobile (uses Verizon). Paying $40/month for three phones. Works much better than my previous carrier Ting (which was in T Mobile).

Did I say I was perfect? If it was a one off, I’d give them a break. It is a frequent occurrence and as an added bonus, since being sold to an out of state conglomerate, they don’t have any method of contacting them to say, hey you have a typo.

Go pick any random story on VTDigger. Bottom of the story is a link “report an error”. They have made errors, I have reported the error. They fix the error. And, they even thank you for the heads up.

But sure, if Gray Television is hiring an editor and the pay is good, sign me up.
