I got my to bad email tonight also, now mid 22.
And I also agree I could care less about 20 some other countries.

@JethroB Congratulations! That seems like such a definite date, compared to all of the other "early" / "mid" / "late" dates that they are giving the rest of us. I hope that it works out for you then. (And not on February 30th...)

All the best,

Peter

I got the email today and was hesitant to open it, expecting a new date of mid to late 2022, instead of the mid to late 2021 I have been told since Feb 2021 but to my surprise and elation it states they are expecting to service my area in December of 2021. But I have been disappointed before and I am sure it will happen again. Until I get the email that says they have charged my credit card and the stuff is on it's way I will not believe it. But here's hoping they actually come through.

Thanks for the positive post. I expect I’ll be wandering around the yard soon starring at the app. I am more fortunate than some with my current Windstream DSL at 12mb. It just irks me that $30 of the $100 monthly cost is for a landline that I don’t want or use and the associated fees and taxes.

I received an email too. It was apologizing for delays and asked me to check my account. I did and they added 1 year. Now not available till December 2022.

I got the same email and after reading your post I had to double check to make sure it said 2021 and not 2022. It still does but I'm thinking it could be a very mean mistake and is actually supposed to say 2022. Hope I am wrong.

I'm not giving up on Starlink, I probably will go with them when they are available. When I tested my T Mobil this morning I actually hit nearly 300 gbps but it will drop during the day although so far the slowest I've seen is 75 gbps. Up load is 50-75. The T Mobil store tech told me they were limiting the number of people on each cell tower, I was lucky to qualify.

Just tested Starlink here, 150 down, 7.86 up. It's clear cold night so no weather, just a lot of users I guess.

No they are not worried about taking care of their customers. 14 million at $99 a pop and counting is what they are worried about.
Has anyone actually been turned down from signing up because the cells future capacity had already been filled. Even when all the satellites are up there will have to be a capacity limit or service will be severely degraded.

eMail. checked account, and date changed from late 2021 to mid-2022.

Too bad for me. I figured that out already, just by looking at my address info as a new sign up. But was hoping the queue would have different results. That means I will be over a year in the queue.

This process could be handled a lot better.
