Ordered it. I work from home in a rural area that gets only 40 mbps. No brainer.

But why not just normal Starlink?

I'm a premium whore.

What are you doing that demands more than 40 mbps?

Personally, pushing docker images to AWS

You're constantly pushing to ECR so much that it saturates a 40Mbps+ upload consistently 24/7? I fear for your bills, god speed.

> consistently 24/7

That part doesn’t seem to come anywhere from the previous conversation?

No, of course not.

But when it matters, it matters — there's a huge productivity difference between waiting 5 minutes and 30 minutes when making staging deploys to iterate on bugs (and sometimes I'll do this 5-10 times in a day).

My way around this that's less than $500/mo and indefinite wait times is to have an EC2 image running as a jump box. Then anything downloaded is already on AWS's network, making ECR uploads much faster.

I work with gigabytes of data daily at my job. I want those upload speeds to increase.

Plus, I want to start getting into gaming again and none of my friends will play with me with that internet speed LOL

Are there games that take multiple Mbps to play? I thought they usually took 10s of Kbps or less, and latency was the metric to watch.

At 20-40ms this almost certainly has better latency than his existing rural internet.
