My biggest gripe is the fact I can't transfer it to my cousin, who lives on a farm with 300 Kbps DSL, 70 miles away.

Back when preorders started, it wasn't obvious how slow Starlink would be to expand, and it also wasn't obvious transfers wouldn't be a supported feature for many months.

Even so, my cousin also signed up in hopes to get Starlink, and 11 months later her date was moved from 'late 2021' to 'late 2022'.

And yes, I've tried many address hacks to see if I could get my dish moved there, none have worked.

They shouldn't have dropped the 'beta' moniker last year if the service is truly so far from its final state (IMO).
