Paid my initial down payment for Starlink….Email received Starlink will be available at my address mid to late 2021…can’t wait
I already placed a down payment signing up for Starlink to get on the list. Maybe it will be available later this fall for here, maybe not.
I’m not interested in any more broken promises from the major companies who decided over a decade ago to ignore millions of potential customers across the nation. All because we’re not profitable enough to supply. Imagine if that same logic had continued to be applied to the clean water supply or electricity. It once was. Or if the only paved roads were inside city limits and cargo was moved exclusively by train like ye old days.
And those who say ‘just move to the city then’ really? Some jobs literally cannot be done in a city. Many people inherited the land they live on. You want more traffic? More polution? More competition for already overpriced city shoeboxes to live in?
People complaining about the 5G towers and want them removed.
I work in the RF field for the past 25 years. All radiation is bad for ya.
But there is one source that is the highest of anything we have, THE SUN…….
Its will fry you and a egg on the same day.
The radiation coming gfrom the sun is FAR more than any tiny cell phone can project out.
So stop with making up lies about 5G… Most if not all are false
Google Starlink. This is low earth orbit satellite internet SpaceX is putting in place and already offering in some areas. It will provide internet to the entire planet by the end of 2022 at the latest.
Hopefully this will cover the entire rural areas of ESCAMBIA county, the satellite WiFi used to work great, but with so much traffic now it’s not worth the price anymore. Can’t watch a movie without it buffering.
