My ISP spark.co.nz tried extortion on me today. I complained about 4G wireless broadband speeds having degraded over the past few days to down to 22.0 KiB/s (where just about everything I try to do times out). They said it was because I was on the Unleashed plan and they don't offer that plan anymore, and if I upgrade to their new Everyday Wireless plan I would get better speeds. I used the F word (they chastized me) and cancelled the account.
Is StarLink any good?
I use it and it is great for most things. Livestreaming maybe not
I have starlink in rural usa. I've had it for about a year now and it has been much better than the long distance wifi (WISP) service it replaced.
The customer service has been good when I've had to use it which hasn't been often.
The only negative thing I've experienced so far is already 2 price hikes since I got it. I started at $99/mo and soon after it got bumped to $110 and just recently up to $120.
Still worth it to me given I have no current alternatives that have good bandwidth. That may change soon with expansion of local 5g service providers.
