I've continued to analyze and plot more information about Starlink outages. I've also collected three more weeks of nearly continuous data, so it's time to review how quality of service has changed.

Update, June 2021. This month, Starlink released an update to their mobile app that produces an image similar to what I was trying here. Hopefully some day they talk publicly about the feature, so I can lean how far off I was on implementation details.

In my last post, I talked about how frequent, short outages prevent video calling from being comfortable on Starlink. If you were curious about exactly how short and how frequent I meant, this post is for you.

At the end of my last post about the state of rural internet, I mentioned that we were about to try something new: Starlink by SpaceX. We've been using it as our primary internet connection for two weeks now, and TL;DR it would be tough to give it up, but it does have some limitations.

The fastest internet speed I can buy at my house is a nominal 25Mbps down / 5Mbps up. That's slower than some can get less than a mile down the road, but faster than others can get just a bit beyond that. It costs $112 per month, which is also more expensive than what's available to some neighbors, and cheaper than others.
