Got mine setup today.
The speeds were all over the place... I had 145 down and 22 up, at one point and then minutes later, 25 down and 5 up.
Made no sense but I believe the first few hours can be all over the place. Anyone else experienced the same??
Also, the included router won't put signal through a piece of paper in my opinion... so luckily, I'd bough the Ethernet add on (cheeky b
ds don't include Ethernet port on the router) - and I tried to set up a Google Nest router ... for a Google Nest / Home mesh network. The Google router kept coming back, on screen, as cannot connect to the internet. I believe this to be related to what's been mentioned before... about it not being a standard wired connection.
I fear I'm in for some back and forth with support now

Anyone running Sky Q though starlink ?
Got a old Sky+ box and Sky are bugging us to changeover to Sky Q.
I have read a bit on the net about sky not supporting it, but some have got it to work.
I think Sky officially say sattelite links aren't supported but that was a traditional high latency link. Most seem to work fine on Starlink.Got a old Sky+ box and Sky are bugging us to changeover to Sky Q.

Have you set the starlink router as pass-through?The speeds were all over the place... I had 145 down and 22 up, at one point and then minutes later, 25 down and 5 up.

And so I've got that sorted however the speeds are all over the place. A little unimpressed so far. 145 down and 22 up was great but lasted no time at all. It's just ok / fast'ish now with very poor upload speeds... which was important for me. Have messaged their support.
Have had a read through the thread but couldn’t see any commentary on how much starlink is affected by bad weather (especially rain) and whether it’s more a case of performance degradation or total outage.
Considering an install whilst waiting for BT to get round to installing fibre, but don’t really want to discover that performance is awful when the weather turns (which is when we’d see demand highest).
Any real world experience would be most appreciated.

Great. Suspect subscriber growth won’t be a huge issue over the period in which I expect we’ll need this. With BT gradually rolling out fibre and the property being next to a main road (along which BT already run copper), and having done it elsewhere only to see BT build locally a couple of years later, I don’t really want to fork out for FTTPoD again.
Will do the obstruction check a bit later and, assuming I can locate it where I want to, get one on order.
Am I right in thinking that I also need the Ethernet adapter accessory to hook up to a larger (Unifi) system?

Mine is pretty much unusable during very heavy rain / thunderstorms.Considering an install whilst waiting for BT to get round to installing fibre, but don’t really want to discover that performance is awful when the weather turns (which is when we’d see demand highest).
