mewse posted:Have you looked into Starlink? A friend of mine in Halifax got Starlink and said he ended up not being able to use it for work. It was too unstable for him to maintain a proper vpn or video conference for remote work. Not sure if it was his particular setup or something with starlink in particular causing the issues

unknown posted:We've deployed Starlink in Nunavut and far enough north that even Starlink is like "you're at the edge of our service area" and we're able to have a solid VPN connection with only occasional outages (2-3x day) of a few minutes at a time because there's not enough satellites deployed that far north currently. Been amazing in comparison to microwave links. Your friend probably screwed up his dish placement. Unfortunately I don't really have any more details from him. I know he lives not too far outside of Halifax. Close enough that he can get 1g+ fibre from bell anyway. I'm not sure what his tolerance was for dropouts or speed so I can't say just how badly it worked for him. His house has a nice clear view of the sky and his dish was up on top of the 2nd story roof. But who knows, maybe it got mis-aligned in a storm or something.

Looking at the website it does show reversed so I guess the email was a mistake. They must be piggybacking off cable though because they have a gigabit plan with only 15mbps upload

I remember a few years ago there were some onboard network cards that had known issues with speed degradation like that, where they would have some kind of issue that made them renegotiate to a slower connection. I remember me and a buddy of mine upgraded our computers around the same time but I got a board that had an Intel network chip and his had something else... Realtek? Via? I can't remember but it definitely had problems negotiating down to 100 or even 10mbps sometimes
