Shifting Backyard

Well things are finally looking up. The first attempt by support to fix things was again another new cable. No luck. Then they sent me another new kit (dish, router and cable). I put this entire new system in place and things seemed to work fine. The app kept saying my system needed a software update. 3 days later the software updated and things still seemed stable. The new kit came with a 50 foot cable which required me to relocate my router to a less than optimal location. Also the cable sheathing had an inch long split in it. I was concerned that would eventually be an issue, so I changed it out with the new 75 foot cable they had sent earlier. It has been about 2 and half weeks and things are still good. No outages and decent speeds again. I do work remotely some days and internet is vital. Hopefully my days of driving to a location where I can find internet or get a hotspot to get reception are over. I still like my Star Link, but my experience with support was abysmal. They obviously did not read the info I put in my tickets and were very slow to respond. Rumor around my area is that fiber is going in before winter. Hmmmm

So still trying to get stable internet. Starlink has sent me a total of 4 new cables (always their first attempt at a fix), a new modem and finally a complete new kit. Changing cables made no change in my issues. The new modem did not work at all and my old modem seemed to be intermittent. The entire new kit worked great when I first connected it in the afternoon. During the first night it updated software and was stuck in booting when I got up the next morning. It stayed that way for 7-8 days until I returned it. My old dish seemed to be working again with a few hiccups in the evenings. The wifi would just disconnect for a few seconds and then start working again. Then during the night last night it updated software and has been stuck in booting for the last 14 hours that I know of. Possible longer as I am not sure what time over night it updated. Waiting for support again with their next step. If like previous times, I am sure they will send me a new cable. My first year with Starlink was great and zero issues. This year has been a constant struggle and support has really not been very helpful.

My saga continues. Starlink has sent me a new router, 2 new Ethernet adaptors and a new 75ft cable. I still have the same issue with no internet. The system is installed in the same location where it previously worked fine and has no obstructions. I have asked repeatedly for a new dish but they now want to send me another new 75 ft cable. It has been 6 weeks now and I am still without internet. They did apply a one month credit to my account. I would rather have a working system

So far support has sent me an Ethernet adaptor and a router. They say a new 75ft cable was sent first (never received the cable). With the new modem in place I never connect to the internet. App says a variety of things. Disconnected, searching, then online/offline. The cycle repeats but I never actually get internet. With the old modem in place I get internet intermentily. Support closed my ticket when they sent the modem. I could find no way to reopen the ticket after I got the new modem. I opened a new ticket and am waiting on support again

Yes I continued to pay my monthly bill so I would not lose my service. I actually took it with me and turned on portability for a couple months and things worked fine. Then I moved to a new location in January. The was to much tree coverage so stopped using it until I returned to my service area. Now support is telling me that their monitoring is more precise than the app. They see major obstructions to most of the East and West sky. App says clear sky and no obstructions. They have "escalated" my issue and at least the new support person is responding timely.

I purchased Starlink almost exactly 1 year ago and things worked fine. I traveled during the winter and did not use my service. On May 2nd I returned to my home area and powered up the system. I had no service, just constant going Online, offline. I spent several days following the online suggestions to try and resolve the issue. On May 9th, I submitted my first support ticket. On May 17th support closed my ticket, saying there had been an outage in my area. The outage map had not show any outages. I tested and did have service, but extremely slow. 1-2 down and 0.2 up speeds. Then on May 18th I started going offline again. I submitted another support ticket with this new info. On May 20th support closed that ticket saying that my dish is obstructed both to the East and West. They asked that I position the dish in a new location. I reopened the ticket and attached a screen shot from the app showing a clear view of the sky with no obstructions. I have stated in both support tickets that I suspect bad hardware. Still waiting for a resolution. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks
