Any Starlink Users getting service yet? - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

M16 · 11-23-2021, 09:09 PM

Anybody using Starlink yet. Just wondering if it's made it into North Texas yet. I'm signed up and hope to get service by the time my house is finished. Just got an update from them but no timeline. Just that they are running behind because of the chip shortage.

Biggs · 11-23-2021, 10:11 PM

I’m due in March 2022

Chew · 11-23-2021, 10:12 PM

Nope.

black42 · 11-23-2021, 10:15 PM

Have a friend in Durant ok who loves his starlink. He got it about 4-5 months ago

How long did he wait? I’m in North Texas and just signed up. It says not available here until late 2022.🧐🤔

Pedernal · 11-23-2021, 10:26 PM

What are the advertised rates and speeds you fellas are signing up for??

He signed up in May and got his equipment in july. But he also needed a pole mount to get the dish above his trees and that too a couple more months. The prior service he had was long distance wifi and would only get about 5 mbps on a good day. The star link got 50 out of the box and 75-100 after he mounted ii on the antenna mast above the trees.

We sent our deposit in.....waiting. Expecting good things. We are in Grayson Co.

SNKETR · 11-24-2021, 08:51 AM

Put a deposit down in Feb with projected implementation "mid to late 2021". Just check my account last night and it now says "mid 2022". I'm working on ViaSat satellite right now and can't accomplish anything.

Dang!! That’s awesome speed for what it is.

CabezaBlanca · 01-13-2022, 07:39 AM

Just checked my account. It says service is expected next month in my area. I sure hope so.

denimdeerslayer · 01-13-2022, 07:51 AM

I dont think Im ever going to get one at this rate.

Let’s hope! That means maybe by this fall.

drs · 01-13-2022, 07:54 AM

I put my deposit down in early 21 and it said late 21 now it says mid 22

Johnny Dangerr · 01-13-2022, 07:57 AM

Just added Sprint hot spot to the house. 350K down for $50.00 a month

At&t is also at 350K down which means I need to call them. Paying for a thousand down...

i’ve been waiting a year at least and pretty much given up on it don’t think i’ll ever get it

Chew · 01-13-2022, 08:13 AM

We are still waiting and I saw a message on there about equipment shortages due to supply chain issues with silicon chingaderras.

Rustythebeagle · 01-13-2022, 08:23 AM

Still waiting here for a unit in Carthage. Late 2021 now Mid 2022.

Same here. I'm just north of Denton.

SaltwaterSlick · 01-13-2022, 10:41 AM

Heard on the news last week that SpaceX had their first successful launch of 22 out of cape Canaveral earlier in the week and it was 34 new starlink satellites... Maybe that'll get more folks up and operational that have paid deposits... Wonder how long after they are launched before the new satellites are functional and part of the grid??

CabezaBlanca · 02-04-2022, 03:58 PM

My equipment is supposed to be shipped within the next two weeks. I sure hope it does.

Rubberdown · 02-04-2022, 04:48 PM

Mine in Schulenberg area went from mid 2022 to late 2022. Which didn’t please me.

huntingarcher · 02-04-2022, 04:54 PM

Mine says March of 2022,been on the list almost a year in Walker county

TeamAmerica · 02-04-2022, 05:25 PM

Speeds? For $100 a month what should you expect?

Blownshelby · 02-04-2022, 05:59 PM

Called Elon today, he said mine will be in the back of my Cybertruck I ordered. ��

Balcones_Walker · 02-04-2022, 06:07 PM

We got it last month, after years living with cellular internet out in the country it's pretty spectacular. 75 mb down is pretty consistent, with peaks over 200 mb.

We were on the waiting list about a year. They seemed to add our whole neighborhood at once, several neighbors got it at the same time.

junkmanhunter · 02-05-2022, 09:40 AM

I’m in far north Texas just outside of Gainesville. There are 3 or 4 neighbors who have deposits down and are being told late 2022 in our area. I’m going to wait and see how it works before I drink that cool-aid.

warrington · 02-05-2022, 10:52 AM

How much a month for it

Wait. What??? You are moving to North Tejas?

I know nothing about Starlink.

As much as they've been testing rocket engines they should have a whole lot more than that. I think there were 3 the week before the freeze and one last night. Shakes my house and I'm 40+ miles away.

RJK70 · 02-05-2022, 10:02 PM

Put my deposit down. Said they will service the area where the property I purchased is by late this year.

Impatiently waiting in Leon County. We just lost our cell tower after it was bought out...so really need the wifi calling and data.

russb · 02-06-2022, 12:45 AM

I signed up early on, waited almost two years. I have had it almost a year now, regularly seeing 100+mbs download speeds. I'm in western Grayson county.

tps7742 · 02-06-2022, 07:08 AM

I will need to look into this thing they call starlink. Lack of quality internet has been my biggest complaints of moving to a very rural area.

No. I'm not moving.

The satellites being launched started up north. They are gradually making their way down south. Just checking how far south they have made it.

BURTONboy · 02-06-2022, 08:42 AM

Is there a coverage map somewhere to see who should have service now? It would be cool to track that to see when I need to buy in for Austin County. Which is way further south then most of yall waiting on it now.

So far, there are only 2 members here on this page that actually have service. One in Grayson. And one in Wimberley.

They just moved our to 2023 here in SW New Mexico. There are several here in the valley that are on the waiting list. We have Viasat now and it is just like the Hughes net from before.

Foxtrot · 02-09-2022, 12:26 PM

I rec'd my order is ready email yesterday so I confirmed my order, paid the remaining balance. Afterwards, I rec'd another email stating my equipment should ship within the next 2 weeks.

orchard · 02-09-2022, 12:31 PM

I turned my buddy onto it last year. He is in remote Idaho and says it works flawlessly

TX CHICKEN · 02-09-2022, 12:31 PM

44mAG · 02-09-2022, 03:26 PM

Really excited to hear that it is actually a real thing. I was thinking is was just a myth. I am building my forever home later this year where there is almost zero cell coverage even. As soon as I get my address I am going to get on the waiting list. Rural internet has been stressing me out most of all about our move to the country, as I have a job that requires me to work from home some days.

jomw10 · 02-09-2022, 08:10 PM

There are around 1,900 starlink satellite in orbit. With several thousand left
