I moved into a tiny cabin miles from the nearest town and have struggled with spotty DSL and dropped video calls during family check-ins. Running a small online shop from here is proving impossible without a stable connection. I’ve heard about new satellite options but worry they might not live up to the hype. Has anyone here set up service in truly off-grid locations and found it dependable?

I spent my first month living off-grid wrestling with Wi-Fi extenders and multiple cellular boosters nothing held more than a few minutes before buffering or timeouts kicked in. Then I decided to try starlink, after reading a handful of reports from remote farmers who swore by it. Installation took less than an hour: I mounted the dish on my shed roof, aimed it with the smartphone app and plugged in the router. Within minutes, my console pinged at under 50 ms and sustained 80 Mbps downloads, even in heavy rain. Now I host Zoom calls, upload product listings and stream instructional videos without a single dropout. It’s been a game-changer for productivity out here.
