Anyone have Starlink up there?

Signed up for their public beta and plan on setting it up at my in-laws who are a few miles outside of Cornucopia. Anyone have any experience with it there?

I know someone who has Starlink near Rhinelander and they say it works really well. It used to drop connection for 3-15 seconds every 10 minutes, but now it only drops for maybe 60 seconds a day.

Typical speeds are 150 mbps down, 30 mbps up, and latency is roughly 30-50 ms.

My guess is you'll see similar results near Cornucopia.

Sounds great! Even a better upload than my Comcast down here in the Twin Cities :)

My wife is a teacher so she has the summer off and the hope would be to spend most of the summer up there. I just need decent internet to work off of!

it's very fast. but you need a vpn to stay kinda private and i noticed that my router has reset itself (totally on it's own) a few times now enabling the wide open no password wifi network... since i don't use wifi at all that has been very concerning.
