Good to know. What kind of bandwidth (up/down) can one normally expect?

I haven’t looked in a while, but I was getting 50ish MBS last I looked.

It depends on conditions. For various reasons we have two routers after the Starlink router. We see anything from 50 to 180 mbs down. No problem streaming, downloading, and using the phones all at the same time. We have a lot of trees so we did have to get the Starlink antenna 36 feet in the air. Your mileage may vary. Being above 64 degrees north, we had a lot of outages in the beginning but now there are more polar orbiting birds so we get pretty good coverage. It will still drop a phone call sometimes. My wife has no trouble with zoom meetings. To see where the birds are...

Another note Starlink is quite slow at fulfilling orders, so I would suggest you get your gear from brand “A” or some other retailer.
