Who all has signed up for Starlink?
We just signed up for the Loreto area. They are saying it will be available by the end of 2021. Think they will make that?
I wonder if they will ship the gear to you in the US to take to MX?
Any good articles out there specific to MX?
Having 200Mbps speeds in Baja will be incredible.

I signed up, I recall there was an option to choose separate location from destination at time of delivery notification.
FAQ
When will I receive my Starlink?
When you place your order, you will receive an estimated shipping timeline in your confirmation email, which you can also view on your account page.
We typically ship Starlink kits out within 2 weeks. If you are placing an order or deposit in an area where we don’t have coverage yet, you’ll
receive an email when service becomes available in your area, and you’ll have the opportunity to update your shipping, service or billing details,
or cancel your order.

Any competent junior product manager that runs a business line could tell you those prices were ridiculously low. So not sure how that ever got out.
No one should have ever expected it to be that cheap.

Since starlink is not even operating yet (except for a few beta users), i doubt you will find any substance in “reviews” or user experience…
Woke!

There are a bunch of YT videos from the beta users in the US. They show installation and speed tests.
One guy showed a chart of his performance over 6 months. The last several months he's been hitting 300Mbps on downloads. They show latency as well.
20-30ms.
It's coming along pretty quickly.

If you request for LA it says the end 2022 is the best case.

"SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has pointed out the satellite technology would struggle to supply enough internet bandwidth to users residing in heavily
populated locations. “Starlink is great for low to medium population density. But satellites are not great for high-density urban,”
https://in.pcmag.com/networking/141477/what-is-starlink-spac...
A large high-density cluster of users will overload the satellite currently "in-view". There are high-speed options (fiber optics lines) in urban
areas that work just fine and are probably cheaper.

Rodriguez Communications is now servicing Gonzgaza Bay. We went through the military checkpoint north of there today and it had point to point from
Rodriguez. It’s new in the last month.

They are about 20 years too late. Hope these guys aren't investing too much. Starlink is gonna crush them and others like them.

Well, probably but the Mexican Government can’t be happy about the guys at Langley being able to control their communications that easly!

Paper notes got hacked! In fact clay tokens got hacked, that’s why they put them inside of a sealed clay ball!
Encrypted notes on rice paper are best cause you can eat them!

Yeah, I see single-sourcing so much of the world's digital communications as a huge minus in the Starlink system.
It's too juicy a target to believe it won't get hacked. 
|
It’s not even close to single source. The majority of world will still be on land line system, cell phone system, etc.
Other satellite operators are already in the race to be satellite-comm vendors…
Woke!

Yes, I signed up awhile ago and paid my deposit. We're moving down full time in 17 days and will have the dish shipped to our mail service. Email
said we would have service before the end of the year.

Starlink.com
Type in the address. Or if you don't have an address, use Google Maps to get a Plus Code. Use that instead of an address.
