Is starlink worth getting?What's the absolute cheapest way to get a dish and in what country is service the lowest price? Any hints or tips on using this thing? what does /g/ think of it?
>>106440542>in what country is service the lowest pricethis is a really weird question to ask, are you an ai bot gathering info from social media for an ai generated listicle?
>>106440562I am just planning on moving to some shithole country to save money, I'm wondering if I should just buy the starlink dish here for $175 then go or if it's cheaper to just get it somewhere else I think the cheapest monthly service cost is somewhere in west africa right now. need to look into this a bit more
>>106440542if they can be configured entirely by user than the cheapest would be stealing the hardware from another userclimbing up on someone's roof stealthily might be difficult>>106440562op might be willing to move to third world country to save a few $/month
>>106440599you can't steal the dish. it's locked to the account that purchased it unless that user removes ownership. I wish it was that easy
>>106440598moving to africa to save on internet bills is a great ideayou'll probably get a high paying job there too
>>106440612anon, i can't even get a high paying job here. I have given up. I don't care I just need to find some stupid fucking hole to rot in until I die, ideally with internet access and clean air/water.
>>106440542buy used from local market and verify the dish #
>>106440609yep, and owners can easily declare lost on their phone, from the website, and the dish will never be usable on any account. it just becomes a ic board at this point
>>106440542>Is starlink worth getting?I don't know why people ask this. It's a service designed for areas where people have no other options. If that's you, then yeah it's probably worth getting. But if you're able to get normal non-satellite internet then you should prefer that.>What's the absolute cheapest way to get a dishFrom starlink, which is the only way you can get a working dish>what country is service the lowest price?It doesn't matter because you'll be paying the price for the country that the dish is in. It's not like you can flip on a VPN and make the GPS-equipped geofenced dish think you're in Africa and happily chug along. It will be ordered and registered to your home address, and will disable itself if you try to move it too far away.>Any hints or tips on using this thing?You plug it in and it gives you Internet. It's super locked down and not user-serviceable. If you have a lot of experience with hardware hacking and know of some novel exploits for it, you might be able to take it apart and get a shell on it briefly before intrusion detection disables your dish remotely and bans your starlink account.>what does /g/ think of it?It is a product that does its job decently enough and is relevant to a specific market segment who are well aware that they are in that market segment. It has no particularly redeeming qualities other than "it works about as well as you could reasonably expect"
I was gonna say "I wish they had cheaper plans" but they've apparently reduced the price to half in my areaif my shithole ever gets to ISP-level blocking, that might be the only solution
