If you have to pay full price for installation, I believe that the company that partners with Starlink on installation, DSI, provides installation for "only" $200, guaranteed.
I ordered the free HW package, in Oregon. After it arrived, in just 3 days, I discovered that obstructions to the sky - house and trees - at my place are 10 to 11 %, which is quite a bit greater than Starlink recommends.
I tried to cancel service and return the package. Starlink offered me free installation, instead. I figured I could still cancel and return if the download from satellite was poor, so I accepted free installation. The installers came just 4 days later, on Dec 4, and were on site just 30 minutes. They did a neat and clean install thru the wall into my home office, with a really clever way to seal the hole.
They knew how to get the best signal, and while download is not perfect, there are interruptions lasting 1 - 5 seconds several times a day, more frequent during heavy rain, it has yet to be a problem.
“with a really clever way to seal the hole.”
Please share!
I have seen adds recently that offered free installation in some areas.
But, unfortunately not my area.
