There are many who have it, many like it, many don’t.

YouTube had more than a few from very recent to a couple years old.

One of the latest is from Long Long Honeymoon.
It is one of the best do far.

Main over-all complaint is cost. Initial equipment hardware is around $600.
The monthly rate is now at $150/month.
If you set your smart phone for wifi calling then you can get and make calls. Just like internet at home.
Starlink is victim to the same thing as at home satellite. Can experience heavy weather fade out, trees in the way, not a clear view of satellites in the sky. Western US seems to be better covered snd Eastern covered but so congested with users signal times can degrade. Sound familiar.
It will improve as more satellites go up and technology advances.

Price I don’t see coming down as lobbing rockets and million dollar satellites as well as Musk’s other expensive dreams has yo get cash from somewhere.

My opinion is if you have StarLink snd also a cell phone you’ll have access to stream most of the time.
