Not changing tactics, it was always a part of their strategy.

The technology did not exist when they started starlink...LoL...!

I see pretty high bandwidth users on a daily basis. Most of our fiber customers are buying the 1 gig service because it is so cheap. Free modem and free installation. It's a great deal. I have literally seen smart homes with over 150 devices connected to their service both wired and wireless. So yeah, these users would see a real big difference between 25 meg and 1 gig.
You start streaming 3 TVS, an XBOX and a couple laptops and that 25 meg would be used up in a hurry. Not sure there is such a thing as an "average" user any more. However, the FCC says 25 meg is considered broadband and is their standard. Lots of folks would consider 25 meg amazing but on the other hand there are a lot of folks that would laugh at 25 meg.

my kid got on a similar plan to the mobley thru ATT , i think he pays ~$45 a month and at least twice out of the last year and a half he burned thru a TB in One month between gaming/ youtube / Net flix :shocked:

Then again- when member Zimy first started the Mobley thread he posted an early usage for 1 month of over 250 GB

Just received yet another Hughes Net "Invitation" to their plan offers,
Lets see only $149 a month for a whopping 50 GB, Gonna have to pass on that....

LOL! :laughing: They were going to use it after they invented it. The concept of using lasers for communication has been around for a long time, so it would have been obvious they were going to use it, once they got the tech to the point where it could be put on the sat.

Did you get the dish kit yet and if so how long from the time you ordered it till you got it?

Ordered on Jan 20, 2021. At the time of the order, I was told that it could take 2-4 weeks before the equipment would ship. I received an email today that it had shipped. Fed Ex tracking shows that it should arrive Wednesday, Feb 3. So it shipped one week from ordering, and Fed Ex is saying 1 week to get to VT from CA.

Coverage in my area is at 85.9% of the day. This is calculated on the assumption that my dish will be able to see the sky down to a minimum of 35˚ up from the ground. If I change that view to a 25˚ minimum, the coverage shown is "approximately 100%" of the day. (NOTE: This is not Starlink's information. Someone else calculated from known satellite orbit data. It does not include coverage from their latest satellite launch.)

Awesome for you. Please keep us posted on your experience.
