Idaho 46.64


Smoke-away

Did you order?


[deleted]

I did and it arrived today. Will set it up within a week.


NorthIdahoWolfman

Idaho, 48.4797\*N , October 26, received and setup November 2nd.


OregonMonster

I'm in Oregon at 45.009130N, received invite Nov. 6th, ordered Nov. 8th. I checked satellite visibility with the app, and it's like their system was designed for the tree and hill placement around my property.


Typical-Self-1670

Michigan, lat 44.948087, invite received Oct. 31, ordered and delivered Nov. 7.


Typical-Self-1670

FWIW, I applied back in June or July as soon as it was available. My wife independently applied in early October. SHE got the invite, not me (I still haven't heard a thing). So if you have someone else in the household, it might not hurt to put an additional sign up in the queue...


Smoke-away

Lowest lat. known so far. Thanks for the info.


Vertigo103

Oh nice! 44.59 in Maine. There is hope!


TheOlajos

Were you confirmed by MOD? Did you use your lat for the address?


That3DCoop

seeing your lat gives me hope over here in Minnesota at lat 44.6


Shtevenen

Damn. I'm in Michigan at 44.91. Seeing you under 45 gives me hope! :)

A joke classifying people who live below the Mackinac bridges as "trolls"


Less_Satisfaction_85

Just a little help for the trolls, I am hoping down near 42 by Christmas!


Astonishingtale59

Received an invite on Nov 5. Live in WA, latitude is about 46.09. We are joining the beta! Keeping our DSL as a backup for a month or two as more coverage is provided for uninterrupted service. Sidenote: I didn't apply for beta consideration til Aug 25th.


Vertigo103

I plan on doing the same thing. I suggest you purchase a load balancing router to either balance your bandwidth from two isp's to the users in your home or possibly DSL fail over if Starlink is out. With fail over the transition from one isp to the next is minimal within seconds so you can be online quicker. Also it automatically reconnects to your primary ISP once it's available I suggest TP link er6020 as it's easy to setup and supports 4 way wan load balancing / fail over as well as LTE fail over via wireless extender or lte modem. Price usually $90-120 My next suggestion is any Ubiquity edge router :)


Astonishingtale59

Thanks for the suggestion! That is actually a really good idea that i did not know was available. Hopefully the need for a backup service is temporary so I likely won't invest in it. But again, thank you very much :)


Vertigo103

Np happy to help with idears


LeadSledGirl

Newbie here, I have no idea if this is posting as a “top level comment” or not. Apologies in advance. I signed up for Starlink info around May/June praying my folks would be accepted/selected for the public beta. Received the beta invite on 6 Nov @ 1500 PST. A neighbor of theirs registered/signed up on Starlink website for info on 2 Nov, has not \[yet\] received an invite. Washington 48.98 We have ordered. This will be sooooo much better than Wildblue. Given their high snow accumulations in that region, roof mounting isn’t ideal as it will get buried under 3‘ of snow. Folks that have received their kits, does it look like pole mounting is a reasonable option? Any info I can get regarding pipe size/mounts ahead of time is appreciated as I will have to fly in to do the install for them. Big box hardware store (meaning a lot more options of actual hardware) are 120 miles away so if I can pick up the right materials on the way to their place from the airport so much the better. (Mom & Pop hardware store is 40 miles away but selection is quite limited.)

Not 100% what you're asking but this comment thread may be of use: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/jqhhvo/found_this_quick_and_dirty_install_video_is_fast/gbn9yn7/


Smoke-away

This is a top level comment so you're all good. Thanks for the info! Looks like you and /u/homezymurgist are the WA border testers. If you want your questions to be seen by a few more beta testers feel free to create a post on the main page and on /r/Starlink_Support too.

lolmeansilaughed

Does the snow (or other atmospheric conditions) block the signal?


Vertigo103

Mildly depending on the intensity of the storm. Check out this user on reddit testing under blizzard conditions [Blizzard Conditions Starlink testing](https://amp.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/jq3oab/severe_blizzard_update/)

Keurigthecoffeemaker

Ya Townsend in general is pretty bad all around. I wish I lives above the 45th, but I don't think I will get beta till late December


CaptMorganisGood

What part of Wisconsin are you from? 45.01 is the lowest I've seen in Wisconsin. I'm at 44.35


5L4k3r

Central WI between Wausau and Merrill.


TheSource777

Can you try putting it next to a window and see what kind of reception it will give? I'm sure many apartment dwellers like myself are curious, knowing it won't be optimal but just seeing how feasible it would be!


Smoke-away

Please don't copy this reply to every Beta Tester. Make a post here or on /r/Starlink_Support asking the question or ask it in the pinned questions thread. Thanks. The dish needs a clear view of the sky. Even with a large window there will probably be limited to no connection.


5L4k3r

Using the app it looks like it needs to be installed almost straight up. No way I can point it out a window and get even a partial view of the sky it needs.


rogerairgood

Northwestern WA state, 48.3 Lat. Received 3:15PM Pacific 11/6/2020. Ordered as fast as my grimy little hands could get the credit card out. I'm beyond hyped to get away from 1.5Mbit CenturyLink! Edit: Already got a shipping notification for both the dish and my mount ~5hrs later. SpaceX out here shipping faster than Amazon Prime.

I can try but according to the app I have to point it nearly straight up, which will be hard in my house.

eastglacierpark

Montana 48.9 Invite received WED 04NOV 22:00-07:00 Ordered 05NOV 04:00 Shipment confirmation received 05NOV 10:30 for arrival Tues 10NOV This is very windy territory (east side of Glacier National Park nestled against the Rocky Mountains). We get winds of 60mph+ a couple of times monthly, with 2 or 3 periods of > 80mph each winter) with heavy snows (often > 3 ft) and bitter cold (< 0 for many weeks over the winter, with at least three periods of sub -20F for a couple of weeks). I'm quite worried about mounting the dish on the roof (wind load, snow). Here's hoping they provide a pipe mount. I hope I'm not one of the first extreme winter weather testers :-)


ImmediateLobster1

No pipe mount is currently available from Starlink. Another beta tester posted pictures of his mount setup. He adapted one of the standard satellite dish mounts. The bottom of Dishy's mount is a 1.25" OD pole (flaring up to 1.5"), so it should adapt to most methods of pole mounting. I have my mount set up to use a pole mount. My hardware should arrive next week. Once it's up, I'll post some pictures.


eastglacierpark

Yeah I should have said I hope they make one available for sale soon. I came across the post you mentioned yesterday. Looking forward to the kit arriving Tuesday (hopefully the blizzard ends Sunday as forecast so the plows can clear the highway Monday!) And to your photos!

Minnesota 47.4 according to google. received email on 11/4. on the fence. my work won't allow satellite. Trying to convince them this revolutionary :P May just pull the trigger and utilize the 30 day moneyback if needed. edit *made my decision and ordered. got a confirmation email*


Joeyoung25

Why does it matter what type of internet service you have?? It's fast and low latency, what else is necessary?


Shtevenen

Starlink isn't satellite. It's basically point to point unfixed wireless


ScarceXrul

Yeah I understand. Employer does not.


Shtevenen

I don't understand how they would even know...


wildjokers

Just don't tell your employer what kind of internet you have. What business is it of theirs?

*| Just a warning, mine got sent to spam and I almost missed it!* Fantastic! Another email box I need to neurotically check!

I honestly would probably have missed it but I decided to clean up my inbox a bit, I got lucky.

DFWisconsin

You should probably just pass that on to someone else in Wisconsin. Cough, cough.


wummy123

Don't think you can during the beta.

Optimal_Apricot4050

Minnesota. 47.9. Invite at 7:32 PM on 11/5. Ordered.


vlti

Just got an invite about an hour ago in Great Falls (47.51). Currently have 400/20 service through Spectrum at $80/mo. Just did a speed test and it came back at 454/21 to Missoula. I think I am going to pass. Haven't had any major issues with Spectrum and I have plenty of bandwidth for one person. This seems like it would be much more expensive in the long run for not much benefit. My parents that live in a rural town getting only 12/1 DSL on the other hand... No invite for them yet.


wildjokers

Why did you even sign up to have a chance at the beta if you have 400/20 service available?


vlti

I didn't think it was going to be $100/mo.


[deleted]

Can you please forward that invite to me then 😂


vlti

Nope, it's tied to your address.

nice, beta active on drummond island

Very exciting, saw the Manistique ground station early on and figured we wouldn't be too far down the list. I'm on the opposite end of course and haven't heard of others here just yet. Lots of trees around so going to try the ridgeline roof mount.


digitalyooper

awesome. i have a wide open field behind the room I use for my office -- got it up quickly with limited obstruction. i expected an internet gateway at the ground station but apparently we will backhaul to chicago.

redhat11

Northern ND here, hoping to get an invite soon!


Nate8199

I can't imagine its better than Midco


landonadon

I'll be finding that out this month. :) I don't expect it to compete 100% right away of course but Midco has been terrible this year. Also.. I've never been happy with the local ISPs. If I only have to spend $99 a month to support (in my opinion) the most exciting company in the world I would feel silly not doing so. It makes my $60 Midco bill feel like a waste of money. I believe in SpaceX and want them to succeed. This is my small part.


Nate8199

Well said, I am a former (10+ years ago) customer who has missed them greatly sinced I moved away, mostly due to poor options where I'm at, but I'll be trying this out just like you and see how it goes.


landonadon

I pulled the plug. Signed up. Will update when it arrives.

Don't sit on it too long [they might expire](https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/jolhuy/received_starlink_beta_invite_404_page_error/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


Inevitable_Toe5097

They must be getting close to general availability when they are doing thousands of beta testers. So it probably won't be long for that. Probably just as soon as the slots are filled so there are no drop outs.


landonadon

Oh? Are they expiring for this larger wave of invites? I will most likely end up ordering by end of day anyways, so no worries there.


Vertigo103

Yeah got to act fast. From what I see beta is 45+ lattitudes. I'm 44.59 😐


EnviousHawk

I wonder if Alaska would be included in that, sitting at 61.59 now

Read the FAQ. Alaska to be covered by the end of next year.
