That could be really good or really bad

Afternoon. Cloudy, 52 degrees, and the wind isn't doing much right now: maybe 15 or 20 mph. It's supposed to pick up considerably later on with gusts up to 55 mph. The internet guys are out trying to figure out where to put the radio receiver. We need a clear line of sght to the tower and there's this one darn useless elm tree in the way of the most convenient site. Hope they can figure it out because our present service is expensive and problematic.

Living in the middle of nowhere, tx I can testify that Starlink is unbeatable. Reliable enough for Kat to work from home, video calls no problem and streaming whatever we want for $120 a month. No contract, either. They even sent me a mini dish I can use wherever I go. You just need a clear view of the sky. Since we live in a forest i had to build a 60 foot tower to get over the trees.

If I refer anybody to them both of us will get a free month.
