Is your impression that the service is improving?

[We are South of the 45th parallel, by the way.] I think service is improving for us; we don't get the regular 5-10 second disconnects that were occurring every 10 or 15 minutes. According to fast.com, our loaded and unloaded latency has improved. Most media consumption (web pages, video, etc) compares favorably to a terrestrial service.

However, Xbox Live (the limit of our online gaming) is still inconsistent. We get disconnected from game servers and from Live itself pretty regularly.

Our Starlink connection (backup WAN) recently switched from a New York ip to one near Chicago. I think we've switched to a downlink station that is geographically closer and we're getting better pings and, possibly, better throughout (needs more testing).

The service is expensive, but it's been a fun way to "participate" with all the exciting stuff SpaceX is working on.
