• Hey There bfh

    From kmiller@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 22 18:48:01 2023
    Is your Starlink payment increasing? Mine is:


    The Starlink monthly service for residential customers is changing as
    follows:

    $10 increase in areas with limited capacity. New price will be $120/month.
    $20 decrease in areas with excess capacity. New price will be $90/month.

    As a current customer in an area with limited capacity, your monthly
    service price will increase to $120/month beginning April 24, 2023. For
    new customers in your area, the price increase is effective immediately.

    If you do not wish to continue service, you can cancel at any time on
    your account page. Your Starlink hardware can be returned for a full
    refund within 30 days of purchase, or a partial refund of $250 within 12
    months of purchase.

    As the SpaceX team launches more satellites to increase capacity, the
    Starlink team is making continuous network updates to improve
    performance over time. Thanks for being a customer and for your
    continued support of Starlink!

    I'm just surmising, assuming and speculating (not to be confused with Santofying) that it has to do with your ground station capacity - not
    the number of dishys in your neighborhood.

    I'm literally anticipatorily anticipating that this will show up on
    the table at the end of not too many days going forward:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Why is the Connect, powered by Ocmulgee EMC, network different from
    other internet services?

    Conexon Connect builds only 100 percent fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
    networks. Others may tout fiber, but in many cases that fiber stops at
    the street and continues with copper lines for the final connections
    to the home, resulting in slower speeds. Fiber to the home brings an exceptional level of reliability and speed.
    What internet and telephone packages will be available for my home?

    Conexon Connect offers three tiers of internet pricing, along with
    service enhancements and
    HD-quality phone service.

    Connect Ultimate
    2 Gigabit (2000 Mbps) Internet1
    $99.95/month
    Includes Managed Wi-Fi with Conexon Connect router and Safe &
    Secure package
    Connect Premier
    1 Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Internet
    $79.95/month
    We encourage customer to take Managed Wi-Fi, which includes a
    wireless router. Otherwise, customer must supply a wireless router2.
    Connect Basic
    100 Mbps Internet
    $49.95/month
    Customer must supply a wireless router2.
    HD-Quality Phone service
    Unlimited local and long-distance calls
    $29.95/month with Internet service plus local taxes and fees
    $39.95/month stand-alone service plus local taxes and fees
    Managed Wi-Fi Service
    Add-on for Internet service
    $4.95/month
    Includes Conexon Connect router ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://ocmulgeeemc.com/internet-service-faq/

    And of course, I'm well aware that Murphy will probably ensure that
    I'll be the last person in Ocmulgee EMC's service area to get connected.

    I'm just surmising, assuming and speculating (not to be confused with
    Santofying) that it has to do with your ground station capacity - not
    the number of dishys in your neighborhood.

    Well, how do we find out the facts? This probably tells me something -

    Don’t forget flame throwers.

    I was gonna get one of those, but I decided they were too wimpy, and I
    bought some beer and pizza instead.

    Probably the right decision.

    Eventually, going forward into a new dawn in anticipatory anticipation
    there will be this - maybe:

    I'm literally anticipatorily anticipating that this will show up on the
    table at the end of not too many days going forward:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Why is the Connect, powered by Ocmulgee EMC, network different from
    other internet services?

    Conexon Connect builds only 100 percent fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
    networks. Others may tout fiber, but in many cases that fiber stops at
    the street and continues with copper lines for the final connections to
    the home, resulting in slower speeds. Fiber to the home brings an
    exceptional level of reliability and speed.
    What internet and telephone packages will be available for my home?

    Conexon Connect offers three tiers of internet pricing, along with
    service enhancements and
    HD-quality phone service.

    Connect Ultimate
        2 Gigabit (2000 Mbps) Internet1
        $99.95/month
        Includes Managed Wi-Fi with Conexon Connect router and Safe &
    Secure package
    Connect Premier
        1 Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Internet
        $79.95/month
        We encourage customer to take Managed Wi-Fi, which includes a wireless router. Otherwise, customer must supply a wireless router2.
    Connect Basic
        100 Mbps Internet
        $49.95/month
        Customer must supply a wireless router2.
    HD-Quality Phone service
        Unlimited local and long-distance calls
        $29.95/month with Internet service plus local taxes and fees
        $39.95/month stand-alone service plus local taxes and fees
    Managed Wi-Fi Service
        Add-on for Internet service
        $4.95/month
        Includes Conexon Connect router ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://ocmulgeeemc.com/internet-service-faq/

    And of course, I'm well aware that Murphy will probably ensure that I'll
    be the last person in Ocmulgee EMC's service area to get connected.


    Yeah. I ain't holding my breath waiting on fiber. On another note, my
    starlink was out this morning when I went to do my morning browsing. We
    did have some high winds and cold temps but I looked at my dishy up
    there on the roof and all looked fine so I'm guessing it was a ground
    loop station issue. Outage lasted about a half hour or so. Raise my rate
    and interrupt my service! I'd be gone in a minute if'n there were any
    other viable option. Sorry, Muskie.
