Well, Houston just rode out Hurricane Beryl, and let me tell you, it blew

It's pretty weird to use something I've written about in the abstract for so long.

Based on my year on Starlink I developed a love-hate relationship. Loved the speeds, and loved that It Just Worked. Hated the total absence of user support, and the hubris. When I bought my Dishy Starlink made very clear that one must have a clear view of the northern sky. Lucky me! I do! But after about 6 months of happy service the company quite unaccountably decided to point my dish to the East instead of North. Unlucky me, I have a brick wall and a forest to the East. Starlink had rendered my service useless. After weeks of trying, I finally reached a putative Starlink human being, who steadfastly refused to repoint my dish North.

The moral of the story is that, wonderful as it is when it works, you shouldn't get too dependent on Starlink, because a fish rots from the head down.

The moral of the story (which you've told before) is you didn't follow the instructions. The Starlink app tells you where you need a clear view which includes west and east besides north. I had trees to the west so I put a mast on my roof to get the required view. You gambled and you lost. Your really expect Starlink to make a special version of their software for you that doesn't optimize dish pointing to best utilize the network?

I had a partial hardware failure in the router (still had internet) due to multiple power hits during an ice storm. Starlink support quickly sent me a new router and cable free of charge which fixed the problem.
