After using Starlink mini for a while and loving it, I decided to get Starlink for my home as well. Setup today was flawless, the easiest unboxing to connected experience on the planet for home internet. No dealing with ISPs trying to upsell you crappy service. Starlink in my area gives me better speeds than the theoretical 1gbps speeds promised by traditional ISPs over their fiber networks. Lower latency. Better speeds. Far superior experience and customer service 🔥 There is no doubt this is the future. Thanks Elon and the entire Starlink team, I can’t wait for Starlink Mobile to become a reality! p.s I have a second Starlink mini on the way 👀

beating fiber is wild, what ping are you seeing vs the mini?

About 16 to 23ms. On the mini it’s closer to 25ms

Setup tip worth passing on: the app's obstruction check matters more than mount height. A clear patch of sky, usually toward the north for US users, keeps dropouts close to zero.

I own a stardish, but I'm lending it to friends with poor internet options to convince them to switch. With fiber to the home, I'm much better off in that regard. All fine as long as I get my dish back before the summer holiday starts again.

Your timing is perfect. SpaceX just expanded the constellation with 27 more Starlink satellites. We actually went deeper on this launch here: xitter.twitterapi.xyz/AGTPinsights/status/21…

SpaceX just launched 27 Starlink satellites from California on Halloween eve. Here's what you need to know. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on Friday, October 30, at 9:04 pm PT. That's 12:04 am ET and 0404 UTC on October 31. The mission is called Starlink Group 15-18, and SpaceX streamed it live. The booster was B1093, on its 18th flight. Spectators reported a loud sonic boom around 9:12 pm as the first stage came back to land on a drone ship off the coast. Observers say the satellites are Starlink V2 Mini and went to an initial parking orbit, and the booster landed safely. Vandenberg's Space Launch Delta 30 said this was its 73rd launch of 2026 from the West Coast spaceport. One commenter said it was SpaceX's 11th Starlink flight this month. They also said SpaceX is winding down Falcon 9 in favor of Starship, which they expect to fly regularly from 2027. Key numbers: - 27 Starlink satellites - Liftoff at 9:04 pm PT on Oct 30, 2026 - Booster B1093, flight 18 - 73rd Vandenberg launch of 2026 - About 20 minute SpaceX livestream SpaceX's launch post had passed 195K views by the next morning.
