It’s back, 40 min outage.
Mine shows searching 30:49
network issue 5:15
That was interesting. I had just driven home and parked the Tesla was going to plug it in to charge and my phone was not talking to the car so I rebooted the phone and everything was back to normal. the Charger and phone are on the WLAN through the Starlink router but most proximity commands are done through a second bluetooth channel. The outage must have disrupted my phone and the charger.??
It sucks that it went up again, but considering what I used to pay for Comcast internet a decade ago living in a metro area it still a great deal at $120. For the Starlink target audience there's really no arguing that it is a great solution at a still decent price. I mean... if a person has another ISP option that has comparable speed and monthly 1TB data allowance for less then they really should be using that. For rural folks like me with **** for other ISP options it is fantastic.
All I have to do is think back to my Hughesnet days to see how Good Starlink is. In the ~8 years we had it was never able to stream a video. I did try and it took 45 minutes to download 2 minutes of 144 resolution vid. You know you are up a creek when trying to order off of amazon or ebay and the connection times out Repeatedly....
Going to keep the Mobley active just in case there are more outages for Starlink .
