    I don’t think she’s that good looking, but she does try.

    Is there separate equipment you need to use it on the road ? Or would I be able to set it up for the house then when I leave I can take it with me to use on the road ?

    You can take it with you same equipment. They do make a mobile version of it though but it's $2500 expensive little thing. When I first got starlink I used one and then just added a RJ45 connection so I wouldn't damage the cord ends which are extremely sensitive doesn't take much to ruin em.

    I’d rather be with one who tries than one who doesn’t.

    Well… true but I’d rather be with one who doesn’t have to try.

    So im curious. How does starlink compare to my verizon business internet? Think 4glte internet with a 200gig cap and you will be on the money. 2.5MBs and $100 a month. Equipment was a 1 time $250 thing. Always wondered if i chose poorly, then again it was this or nothing at the time.

    Are u able to use that on the road too? All i have is mobile hotspot and it dependent on how cell service is in the area.. Ifigure starlink would be better because it sattelite internet but supposedly faster than any internet out there... Not sure for 135 a month plus all the equipment needed to buy. I can get by with my hotspot for now

    Yup works fine on the road and works 9 times out of 10. Usually faster then hotspot too. Though a lot of that is im deprioritized less often then my phone. Also the 200gb data cap is nice. I can usually download a couple games a month rather then having to do it off truckstop or hotel net.
