internet provider question for MP

[Tomcat388th]

Not sure if this is the right forum if not please move it .  Any way I live out in the sticks and have been using US cellular as my internet provider for the past couple of years. Other than having 2 seperate accounts 1 for my wife for working from home and the other for myself for DCS and our TV's  I have 0 problems other than the cost and data cap.  Anyway we have access to Star Link now and I was curious if anyone is using it for gaming of any kind.

Thank You J

I'm part of a company that makes his business in "harsh environment", and one of my battle in 2021 was try Starlink as replacement of our current poor and expensive geostationary satellite. While trying too change habits and prove it that is reliable for run business is long process, we've switched all the media entertainment, private call and "non working" stuff to Starlink, and people really start to don't feel alone in the world, they can finally even make a video call with their family that basically it was not possible before :D

Before send the first antenna on production site, of course we've put in place a test bench in our lab. while we don't actually play DCS over starlink, we've put under monitoring system bandwidth and latency, and it was quite decent ( about 40ms ping with some packet loss, when no "heavy load" is applied.  ) . Not perfect as a cable connection, but not so bad compared on what we had currently.

So basically, if you're not covered by any cable ISP, Starlink is definitely a good option to me, it's not perfect, but better than a mobile 4G connection.

Some of our results during the test:
