We signed up for the beta, and found out yesterday that our area has coverage and is eligible. 50 - 150 MBS download initially, increasing by summer. Equipment arrives in 2-4 weeks. Will update members when up and running as to how well it works.

Further update - we received our dish in February, but unfortunately did not have a clear line of sight to the sky from our property (trees near the cottage and ridge behind us). It should be fine from our roof, however with snow, ice, and a steel roof with pitch I won't be able to try again until late Spring/Summer. The Starlink app does a great job of helping you determine the best location, and the hardware includes 100 feet of cable from satellite to modem. Setup is SUPER easy, and customer service was awesome! I was able to return the equipment at NO charge, and will try again in June. We were also advised that there should be a lot more satellites in orbit by then, so coverage should be much better. About $650 for hardware, and $140/month service. Expect up to 150 Mb/sec download.
Wow that is great news Rob. Keep us posted!
