Is starlink mobile worth it? Internet service is often unvailable in my city. Also in the road out of my city. And I need to work and communicate with my relatives. Is it always up?

>>106508390Lol This is true
>>106508349My one time using starlink was during a 7-hour international flight, and my impression was extremely positive. Every other satellite internet I had experienced up until then had huge latency and low bandwidth. This felt like a standard home internet line
>>106508349>Is it always up?No, nothing is. Last outage was last monthhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/18/starlink-outage-spacex-launch-satellites-musk.htmlhttps://www.pcmag.com/news/spacex-traces-starlink-outage-to-network-upgrade
>>106508349Sure. I use starlink works pretty well but not the mobile. During the day I usually get 250mbps and at night right now around 300-400mbps+. I've seen it reach up to 600mbps during non peak hours like 10pm to midnight. IDK how much the mobile costs I pay $120You could probably use calyx 5G hotspot for $40 a month and I used that before when traveling, but its only 30-40mbps rural and 150mbps+ in the city but they never throttle you and don't give a shit about torrenting so thats nice I guess. Check a map to see if you got coverage.My parents pay $80 a month in the midwest for their weimerican internet and they get to have fiber 400mbps in my hometown of 15k people so fiber has advanced in the midwest.American internet is notoriously expensive especially in REALLY rural dirt road type farm places or unincorporated land. On the east coast and west coast, especially in mountainous regions. If you live offgrid or are going in the mountains of utah, idaho or 30 miles down some random highway etc forget it, just get starlink.
>>106508390Yup, here's one I took with my xperia.
