We are a beta test site for Starlink, have had his dish on our roof for about 5 months now. Game changer, very rural had about 2 MB per second speed for 19 years now we can finally stream movies, instead of subscribe to Nexflix. We even cancelled Dish Network, Fox is gone. It does cost $100 a month and the Satellite Dish was $500, it points straight up.

We get on average 148 inches of snow a season/year.

I have a HughsNet Gen 5 Dish on my roof that is slanted and a DirectTV (AT&T) dish in front of it.

So I have this very long piece of thin lumber with a car snow brush attached to it because when we get hit with a lot of snow, the Dishes get snow on them and everything stops working.

I’m wondering how a Satellite Dish that points straight up will do in heavy snow belts?
