    Yeahhhh about that.

    LEO satellites have a lot stronger signal and their phased array terminals have a surprisingly good SNR. This isn’t your grandpa’s Hughesnet.

    I never have more than a second or two of interruptions out there even though heavy rainstorms. Thunderstorms directly overhead sometimes knock it out for a few minutes if they’re dropping hail and lightning but I usually unplug my computer during those anyway. Its all about maximizing its view of the sky so it can always pick the strongest satellite at that time… M

    I hate musk too but the engineering quality in starlink is insane.
