Starlink, on the other hand, will likely become a great option for those living in rural areas where 5G service doesn\u2019t extend due to a lack of existing cell structures.In fact, you could say that these two new internet services might complement each other. 5G\u2019s short-distance networks are optimal for densely populated urban areas, and Starlink\u2019s requirement that your dish have a line of sight to the sky is optimal for wide open, rural spaces." } } ] }]{} (function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= '//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-WG67XFH'); skip to main content Go to Reviews.org AU Edition

A 2021 article on Business Insider may give us the best indication of how good or bad Starlink customer service is doing so far. And to be honest, it seems like current Starlink beta testers are getting a mixed bag when it comes to customer service.

This original kit came with a heavy round dish (23" in diameter), but the new one comes with a smaller 19x12" rectangular dish. That dish is also half the weight of mine. That makes it easier to ship and transport, and means it doesn't need as strong of a dish mount.

I am finally getting Starlink after being turned down for beta, as I'm ~10km north of test area. It drives me crazy after waiting basically 3 years to hear people whine about it lol. Elon said up front it's not for city dwellers, yet that's exactly who got the first 25000 orders I'd bet.Speaking of being butt hurt, I was sad I wasn't getting a square dishy, they said its because they are only in the US right now, so thank you for pointing out its flaws, I feel a bit relieved I'm getting a round one now.Where I live the only other option is 5mbps, 30' whip for $1000-1500, $110/mo. Every other satellite or LTE service turned me down. Starlink is a no brainer for the people that have no other choice. At least until we see what Amazon and friends come up with.

I'd get a *second* DSL line and multiplex them - but I can't. The area has been marked "in exhaust" since the mid-2020 due to pandemic-related changes - and my one attempt to make a change resulted in me getting artificially reduced to 3.0Mbps - which I had to spend two days on the phone with CenturyLink to *beg* to get my service restored back to 6Mbps.

I too paid the deposit and waited I paid for the circular dish since it had no router and a longer pole option. The customer service is not there and having failed to reach them several times after they sent me a message my unit the ( at the time more expensive with router) square was coming. The fact that this company is ion auto pilot makes me disappointed, because I admire Musk. When I finally messaged I was going to cancel my service because of the up coming charges they offered to hold on my billing and send me at no charge add on equipment to meet my needs because they switched the dish. But that was before the 30 return policy. Since then I am being billed for service I don't have because I don't have all the parts they were to send. I am really upset they don't follow thru (pie crust promises.) I hear the equipment is worth several times more than what we paid for it ,so hopefully I can sell it. I don't know,but paying for a service you don't have is something to be reported.I need to know to whom. 2b1af7f3a8
