I was thinking of using nedernet as a failover but have never gotten around to it. What do they charge you for that option calbeartara? Thanks!
@joe ryan: you are pretty much on your own with respect to Starlink service. We have a very early model plugged into a (big) UPS out of concern that the power might go out while it updates its firmware. Since we got it in early 2021 it has come back after power interruptions without issues. Main worry now is hail. Luckily that tends to be smaller up here. Do keep it off the ground -- the moose were very curious about it the first few days we had it so leaving it outside on the ground at night when you first get it, while tempting, is not a great idea.
As to congestion: yes our area (foothills around Boulder) is very congested. IIRC, it was one of the most congested in the US, other than around some of the other tech hubs like in California. There was a period they weren't accepting any new signups at all because they needed to launch more satellites first.
