Has anyone tried Starlink? I super curious as to whether it's a decent drop in replacement for the ISP have been using at home, and have had trouble with since day one. I won't mention any names (but I will say that it sounds a bit like Smodabone). What is the latency like? The variability of the up/down? Does it do what it says on the tin? Is (non-professional) online gaming a go?

My experience, a year of use - 300Mbps down pretty consistently, 40Mbps up, 40-60ms latency, fine for gaming for the most part, and the drop outs are unnoticeable short when they do infrequently happen. Never had an outage more than 10 seconds.

They’ve also nearly halved the price since I signed up.
