@Pheasant - Please do, more measurement data is always useful. Also post your Latitude as this also seems to impact Starlink performance/latency and potentially energy costs.

Unless you were stuck on a fixed term electricity deal at a higher rate then everyone is paying 21p/kW-h forecast to rise to an eyewatering 28 to 31p in April 2022. My mate in upstate NY is paying 9 US cents per kW-h with nominal additional cost penalties over 600kW-h per month.

Starlink is an excellent cost/value proposition when you understand what you are paying for your other home appliances and the limitations of the UK's current 4G infrastructure. It blows current 4G out of the window

This fast.com test was done earlier today, check the latency

Anyone got hourly outages in the UK today? I've got issues 10:54, 11:54, 12:43 - combination of no signal and network issues. Dish is roof mounted, no obstructions. Outages are of long enough duration for me to be using my trusty old 4g router again (glad I've not ditched it yet!).

And 13:30 - no service for 8 mins, claims there was an obstruction for 5 seconds of the 8 mins down time.

Total outages of 17mins so far today. This is not great!

Nope, zero problems & zero outages here. >340Mbps, good latency etc etc

Last problems detected was Thusday evening after 23:30 UTC, lasted about 20 minutes, since then no issues detected.
