Got the Starlink up and running today.

Just a note for the record that the new routers have no Ethernet out.

You have to (annoyingly) buy an adapter.

Apparently Starlink are trialling a new tariff structure in France:

-half the monthly cost

-250GB data cap (endless data but lower priority when exceeded)

-additional priority data available at €10/100GB

Wish they had an option for a Static/Public IP that didn't require paying $840 a month & $4200 for the hardware.

Probably he best chance of that would be if Elon went out and bought an American corporate that was awarded a /8 ("Class A") or /16 ("Class B") block of IPv4 addresses back in the early days of the Internet, asset strip it of its IPv4 addresses and allocate them to Starlink.
Otherwise there just aren't enough IPv4 addresses for a major new provider to allocate static, public IPv4 addresses to customers.

IPv6 is different, of course, but Starlink doesn't seem keen for some reason

There are quite a few VPNs offering static IPs, or get an NZ virtual server somewhere with static IP and VPN through that? Yes, would be nice if Starlink offered reasonable price static IPs though.

That's really annoying. We have one work site that because of location and geography had no copper or fibre and poor 4G. We've installed starlink there and it has been fantastic. But we got a router with a LAN port, which was very helpful

Anyone else getting this message in the Starlink status app? Notified support they said disregard alert. We are working on a fix.

Most of you probably know about the gRPC service implemented in Dishy, and how we can pull stats etc from the dish using it.

You can also view the progress on determining obstructions if you use the gRPC interface. For example, the picture below is from a few minutes after I rebooted the dish. (Eventually most of the circle fills up)

I made a time-lapse video of the first 17 minutes after reboot (its roughly x30 speed):

Of interest to some: my Starlink dish has just delegated me an IPv6 /56 prefix via DHCPv6.

I know they shut down IPv6 a few months ago when they moved away from Google, good to see it back again.

I might have said some nasty things about adsl in the past, but that 50 pair cable is doing a good job helping to hold our road up!

Looks like orbital 5G mobile coverage is the next shoe to drop,

The laws of physics and small batteries says that you ain't gonna get huge bandwidth out of it..

But for messaging, and things like geolocation this a a huge gamechanger for people like LANDSAR/emergency services

Lets see how the T-mobile rollout in the US works,

This announcement may have been made at this particular time to preempt the rumoured "satphone" capability in the upcoming iPhone 14. The announced T-Mobile / Starlink capability is supposed to 'just work' with any ordinary 5G handset, no special hardware sauce required.

Seems like it might be global issues. Starlink app has message stating degraded service and that they are investigating. Twitter has many posts about outages.
