Previously complained (https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=40&topicid=270291) about crap offerings (overpriced, underperforming with low data caps) from Vodafone/Farmside etc. Preordered in February and waited. Starlink dish arrived last Thursday. First speed test gave 175Mbps down, took about four days to get stable connection, now averages around 130Mbps.

Can you please keep us updated ( once a month or so) on how it is going,

It will be interesting to see what it evens out to as more and more customers come on board...

Nothing on my end. Although I'm still tempted to blow up some trees and hills.

Dish is still where I initially placed it and its orientation does not seem to have changed. As far as I can tell it still pointing in the same direction as it moved to when first plugged in.

Can only assume better stability from more satellites operational (think only high 1300s when dish installed, now around 1450, see https://starlink.sx) and some beamform tuning on Starlinks side.

First few days was dropping out for about a total of 1 minute (for about 15-20 seconds) over each 5 minute period.
