Starlink now available to order in more parts of the UK

I received this email this morning -

Elon was clearly reading this forum where I commented on "gaps" in coverage for northern England and Scotland (Hi Elon!)

Yes I got the same message, it's on my to-do list for today.

And moi.

I wonder how far North they are rolling out with this expansion. I'm fairly far around the 56-57 latitude, but fingers crossed though.

You can see for yourself here - https://satellitemap.space/

Caveat - I'm not sure how accurate, and/or how quickly new satellites are mapped.

Hmm, pointless email when the answer is

Starlink is targeting coverage in your area in mid to late 2021. You will receive a notification once your Starlink is ready to ship.

Would be interesting to see a map on the uptake of customers in the U.K, would probably help to map out where broadband services are lacking. Lte/5g will probably be fine as but I cant see many rural WISPs and the other satellite broadband services surviving once the price of starlink drops a bit.
