HEY HEY it looks like hi-speed internet with low latency may be reality soon.

Where, in WV, are you?

Signed up for the Beta, but it is not yet available here in West Virginia, at least the area I am in. At $99 it will be cheaper than comcast's cable or Frontier's DSL. Main bonus will be when its coverage is more complete allowing you to run an RV around the country and frag before bed time. And, for people not close enough for a solid connection, this will be a great thing.

Plus, i have the premiun account and being limited to 50 gigs is stiffling at the least, well u do get another 50 gigs to use from 2am to 8am
PacemakerOMO Posted - Feb 11 2021 : 08:43:16
wellll, i manage .... some what...using Hughes satellite, my latency is usually a couple of seconds behind evryone else in the game. neverless i still enjoy it, but i still cant wait to get Starlink, have paid a deposit on one. Just not being restricted to 50GiGs per month is a super bonus, to be able to watch or record something in 4k, sounds like a winner to me lol, already planning on buying a projector, sobs aint cheap

Gaming on Starlink

... maybe
PacemakerOMO Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 10:13:40
hughes sat is 145$ what da boss told me
PacemakerOMO Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 10:12:12
today i saw 99$ per month unlimited with a 499$ for the package
Aged Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 09:01:39
Beta testing has started.

I doesn't look particularly mobile friendly yet, though.

YouTube article
PacemakerOMO Posted - Oct 02 2020 : 20:05:12
sounding good , i saw an article a month ago that was the same for unlimited bandwidth, Hughes satelite cost me 125$ - 135$ per month for 50 gigs per month 8am to 2pm and another 50gigs 2 am to 8 am

i dont think ill be complaing
Aged Posted - Oct 01 2020 : 07:23:47
I've seen one guess on pricing at $80/month.
PacemakerOMO Posted - Sep 30 2020 : 19:02:17
only if it comes befor the sailboat lol
Aged Posted - Sep 30 2020 : 07:18:56
I've seen a claimed 25-35 ms latency, though PC Mag claims 18-19 ms. Beta testing is currently showing a latency on the order of 40- 50 ms (for roundtrip). I'm wondering if the lower latency claims are 1 way.

Anything under 50 ms would be ok for gaming, under 30 ms preferred.

I was skeptical about Starlink's claims so, I looked up how they can do it. The latency of other satellite internet systems is all about the transport time to and from the satellite - meaning the physics doesn't support anything faster. I found out, to my surprise that, aside from having tons of satellites (which astronomers hate, BTW), their satellites are only 340 miles up (vs. ~22,000 miles for other satellite internet), so the physics does check out.

SpaceX StarLink is supposedly 20msec vs 500ms the previous offerings. Sounds reasonable. Don't know about prices though.
