Bob,

I've seen a video on YouTube where the person in a very remote, rural part of the USA installed a Starling system. Nothing big was made of this; very matter-of-fact.

This person was impressed, though, and reported speeds "as advertised".

I do wonder at the ground stations, where they are to get global coverage. I've not researched that.
