Price Dropping: Elon is certainly not a Philanthropist. Based on posts I have read on Reddit from owners in different counties he either raises the Price or Drops the Price based on what the Local ISP's are charging and he factors in the coverage that they offer (Low Price but not Wired to reach many customers means he wont lower his price).
Not so sure about this. I live in rural Maine with NO true broadband options, and our price dropped by $20/month a few months ago, because use of the Starlink network is not excessive in our area, they say. We pay $90/month. If you're in the $110/month areas, seems they're trying to weed people out via pricing to avoid overcrowding.
Speed: I get between 90Mbs and 160Mbs. It drops in speed a bit during prime streaming time but typically hover at 140Mbs.
Same. And I routinely have evening Zoom calls for a non-profit board on which I serve, with no problems.
Rain: It only drops out under very Intense rain and even then it's for a few seconds until a satellite is overhead and it comes back in. The Buffering of shows Streaming usually negates any effects but I still have 1-2 dropouts during a show maybe once every two weeks. During Heavy rain it may happen 2-3 times during each one hour show. This is typically not annoying while watching regular TV but it is if a live sporting event is happening.
That's even more of an issue than we're having. We end up with a buffering problem perhaps once per month. I've noticed a few seconds of problem when it's raining cats and dogs, but that's so rare as to be a non-issue. And I've seen the dish coated with a couple of inches of snow and icicles a foot long, but still chugging right along. It does soon melt the snow off (which is how we get the icicles). We had one issue last winter after really heavy, wet, rapid snow that took it down for about an hour as I recall, then it cleared itself.
Transitioning: This is typically seamless as it hands off from one Satellite to the next. I only see slight speed changes but not enough to disrupt a 4K stream on any of the services.
Same. I do still see very, very brief handoff problems on Zoom or Teams calls. Because we both work from home, we handle this by having a second (generally somewhat slower) internet feed from a local WISP, going into a Peplink router that keeps both connections "hot" during Zoom and Teams calls, and for any use of Microsoft products, via their "Speedfusion" service (it knows based on the server its connected to, as I understand it). So, when Starlink has a little "microdrop" of even a partial second, it keeps the connection streaming and doesn't affect my calls, or use of Office services. I have two employees in the Philadelphia area on fiber connections, and they have far more problems with online meetings than I have (likely due to their lousy ISP-supplied routers/wifi devices). I was on a Zoom call yesterday with a person who uses only Starlink and lives perhaps two air miles from me, and I noticed the partial second to maybe one second microdrops from his end a couple of times during the 30-minute call, but it wasn't enough to be distracting.
