Is your Starlink payment increasing? Mine is:

The Starlink monthly service for residential customers is changing as
follows:

$10 increase in areas with limited capacity. New price will be $120/month.
$20 decrease in areas with excess capacity. New price will be $90/month.

As a current customer in an area with limited capacity, your monthly
service price will increase to $120/month beginning April 24, 2023. For
new customers in your area, the price increase is effective immediately.

If you do not wish to continue service, you can cancel at any time on
your account page. Your Starlink hardware can be returned for a full
refund within 30 days of purchase, or a partial refund of $250 within 12
months of purchase.

As the SpaceX team launches more satellites to increase capacity, the
Starlink team is making continuous network updates to improve
performance over time. Thanks for being a customer and for your
continued support of Starlink!

sats in view most of the time, I'm only 60 miles from a ground
station, and I don't know anyone around here who has Starlink.

I'm just surmising, assuming and speculating (not to be confused with
Santofying) that it has to do with your ground station capacity - not
the number of dishys in your neighborhood.

Well, how do we find out the facts? This probably tells me something -
but I don't what, exactly.
https://www.starlink.com/map

Meanwhile, I literally say again, Musk needs to quit playing with that
twattleshit, reorient, and pivot his ass back to the important stuff -
Starlink, SpaceX, Tesla, batteries, and maybe even boring.

Eventually, going forward into a new dawn in anticipatory anticipation
there will be this - maybe:

Conidering that the whole East Coast is in the "Waiting" category, I
would guess you are in the limited area. Maybe?

I'm literally anticipatorily anticipating that this will show up on
the table at the end of not too many days going forward:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is the Connect, powered by Ocmulgee EMC, network different from
other internet services?

Conexon Connect builds only 100 percent fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
networks. Others may tout fiber, but in many cases that fiber stops at
the street and continues with copper lines for the final connections
to the home, resulting in slower speeds. Fiber to the home brings an
exceptional level of reliability and speed.
What internet and telephone packages will be available for my home?

Conexon Connect offers three tiers of internet pricing, along with
service enhancements and
HD-quality phone service.

Connect Ultimate
2 Gigabit (2000 Mbps) Internet1
$99.95/month
Includes Managed Wi-Fi with Conexon Connect router and Safe &
Secure package
Connect Premier
1 Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Internet
$79.95/month
We encourage customer to take Managed Wi-Fi, which includes a
wireless router. Otherwise, customer must supply a wireless router2.
Connect Basic
100 Mbps Internet
$49.95/month
Customer must supply a wireless router2.
HD-Quality Phone service
Unlimited local and long-distance calls
$29.95/month with Internet service plus local taxes and fees
$39.95/month stand-alone service plus local taxes and fees
Managed Wi-Fi Service
Add-on for Internet service
$4.95/month
Includes Conexon Connect router
------------------------------------------------------------------
https://ocmulgeeemc.com/internet-service-faq/

And of course, I'm well aware that Murphy will probably ensure that
I'll be the last person in Ocmulgee EMC's service area to get connected.

I must be. However comma I got connected a year ago when there were
only half as many sats up there and my average speed for this Feb is 108.

Yeah. I ain't holding my breath waiting on fiber. On another note, my
starlink was out this morning when I went to do my morning browsing. We
did have some high winds and cold temps but I looked at my dishy up
there on the roof and all looked fine so I'm guessing it was a ground
loop station issue. Outage lasted about a half hour or so. Raise my rate
and interrupt my service! I'd be gone in a minute if'n there were any
other viable option. Sorry, Muskie.
