SOME PARTS OF AMERICA STILL WORK: SpaceX’s Satellite Internet Keeps Getting Better. “While new satellites, dish designs, and routers are on the horizon, my latest performance testing shows that Starlink’s service has improved markedly for most of its 1.3 million users in the US who use the standard Dish V2 equipment. In the last year, we’ve seen access to Starlink grow by leaps and bounds, all while Elon Musk’s satellite service has maintained excellent download speeds, increased upload speeds, and cut latency, according to our data. New hardware promises additional gains, but for now, the test results show that existing customers like me are already getting a better, more mature service than ever before. For rural users without access to cable or fiber, nothing even comes close.”

I’ve been very happy with my Starlink service even with access to cable and, as the story notes, service keeps improving. I’ve also never had to make a tech support call over some outage or frustration, which happened every month or two with Comcast.
