Tried it and failed here. Could not cope with wife’s VPN for work and was a pain on banking and found buffering awful for tv.
Fortunately with now have Gigaclear fibre direct to the house.
At 400megs it is slightly better than the 1.5 we used to get from BT.

Ours isn't that bad but not what it was a few years ago. I've heard of slower speeds and aggro in the more populated areas.
Nice, they closed the lane for pole testing which makes me think they may at last string fibre up. We shall see.

Same,but have noticed it's slowed a bit last few months?

Lots of people complaining about the same - it's over-sold and exceeded it's design capacity.

They've stopped taking on new sales in some areas. But tbf for us it's the only option and still works fine

Same for this area. Go on starlink and it says join a waiting list...
Had BT when we moved in and if it worked we got 1.5 meg at best. We were 15 km from the exchange and it was never going to improve.
In the end we had to pay for it even if it was broken. Got a 5g router from 3hree and tbf its been good enough at £21 pm.

30 seconds ago ,we have two familys on it here so 36.50 each .was about 2 to 4 mbps before,we had a little bother after installation with various websites not loading ,buffering etc ,but the helpdesk found a fault in a socket here ,sorted now everything is fine now

I put Starlink into the office last September. It’s about 20 times as fast (up and down) as our only option from open reach. We have very poor 4G options - only Vodafone which is it and miss. It’s fantastic compared to anything else we have tried in last 10 years. £62+vat per month and worth every penny.

I've never been a fan and hate Tesla's but genuinely interested why you say that ?

Our satellite version was not Starlink.

Not really a great role model is he!?

Like I said not a fan but appears a very very clever fella and due to the sheer amount of hate I've seen for him I was intrigued.
I watched the supposed Nazi salute video and cannot possibly see how one random wave makes him such a terrible fella.

Anyway I followed a Tesla the other day with a very similar statement to yours hence the intrigue .

He has clearly got some social issues, possible Autistic or something similar. Makes him very socially awkward!!

That's what struck me watching it

Cannot see how the concept of DOGE is a bad thing ?

a man finding huge amounts of fraud ,waste of taxpayers money ,is the man in the wrong ?

I bet he’s a really normal (but very savvy) bloke who is laughing all the way to the bank by simply impersonating a weirdo!!!
