I suspect my 3rd try is the same as your 2nd - i.e. the more common letters:

Microsoft & Linux stores are free to deploy to & I’m very cheap so Apple will have to wait.
I’ve actually paid the $99 yearly fee a couple of times in the past then totally wasted it by not deploying.

I have had it with Frontier Communications the only ISP provider where I live.
I have looked at a number of YouTube reviews some answer my concerns.
A few concerns I have deal with my Windows 7 64 bit NO WiFi it is hard wired.
Next deals with the location of my house Trees and Snow.
On a bad day at 7000 ft we can get 3 to 5 inches of snow YES I know the bevel has a heater
As for the trees at the least TEN 40 to 50 ft ponderous pine on my property 1/3 acre.
And the surrounding area here have a look 5462 Live Oak Drive Lakeside, Arizona.
As of today I do not have a ladder to get on the roof and use the app from StarLink.
Suggestions for a Modem to deal with the hard wired issue would be nice.
As for the Trees and Snow any one have experience or suggestions.
I have considered a 50 ft Old School TV antenna.If you can still buy them ha ha?

Very interesting challenges. Good luck to you with sorting that.
I wish I had some ideas for you.

I have StarLink for my connection and I really, really like it. Latency is almost always around 50mS so it is not like any other satellite-based ISP and I have had a couple of them. The biggest issue I had to deal with was getting a clear line of site to the path of the satellites. I find that my antenna almost always aims itself to the east (for reference, I am in northern California, about 100 miles south of the OR/CA border) so you need to have a clear horizon in that general direction. I have a lot of trees too but it us clear enough for StarLink to work. The antenna is aligned at a steep angle so it is aiming itself above the trees. Thankfully they are far enough away to not be too obstructive.
I have a lot hard-wired connections to deal with too so I got a wi-fi repeater with a LAN port. It is far from optimal but it works reasonably well.

Having lived in Klamath Falls I would say that puts you in Redding.
So does a Wi-Fi repeater work for my hard wired computer?
So Starlink router attachment to the wi-fi with the LAN port then a line to the computer.
Snow I take it is not an issue I never drove south of Klamath Falls in the winter Siskiyou Pass
always was unnerving even with 4 by 4 Thanks for the info greatly appreciated.

My best friend lives on a mountain in northern CO. Snow is a thing. Trees aplenty. She loves her StarLink. Loves it. She has not been able to do anything to even slow it down - streaming on multiple source? No problem.

April is my one year Starlink anniversary. I live in rural Nebraska and most of the old houses have trees planted around them for a wind break, and they can be a problem. We didn't get much snow this last year but what snow that I got was not a problem, neither was the ice that we did get 3 or 4 times. New antennas and software now have multiple settings to provide more heat to melt snow but not just keep that heat on if snow isn't detected, but my antenna/system is too old for that feature. I altered a Dish/DirectTV roof mount that I already had to install my Dish. I think in North America all Starlink Dishes point mostly north to north-east, so use the app and see what that area of the sky looks like using the Visibility feature of the app you can download. Starlink is your internet connection, think of it as a ISP modem. I did not have to install any software on any computer or device except my phone, which has Starlink's app that you do your visibility scan to check for obstructions. Starlink has changed their hardware from when I got my unit. I did not have to use their supplied router, I just used the one that I already had and plugged it into the ethernet connection for the antenna on the power brick. Other than being a bit impatient because I didn't instantly have an internet connection (it took 15 minutes to finish connecting) thats really all it took, since my router was set up to use a telephone modem (using DHCP protocol) as my prior internet access and the Starlink is pretty much the same thing. But I understand that now you HAVE to use their router, and there isn't an internet port on the powerbrick for the antenna you can use.

Ed Your feedback is very much appreciated. Wonder if Frontier will let me keep my Modem ha ha
About a year ago I complained about dropped connections so they sent me a new Modem
even as non hardware smart as I am that was not the issue so like a honest fool I sent it back.
Guess it is time to buy a ladder and get up on the roof and do some testing

I am in a wooded area and have Starlink. I struggled with obstructions when the trees got leaves on them in the spring. I ended up having a 50 foot attached tower installed and put the dish on top. That solved all of my problems with obstructions and such. I love it.
I work from home. Bandwidth and latency are awesome. Just like I was at the office. I also stream YouTubeTV on 2 televisions while connected to work. Plenty of bandwidth.

Thanks for the response greatly appreciated.
I am guessing Michigan so Snow has not been an issue?
What router did you use ? I am plug and play not real hardware savvy.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, Michigan. The snow melt feature works well.
I am using the out of the box stock router still.
I have had Starlink since Feb 2021 and love it.
