Starlink has been great for us in Opihikao. We have no obstacles and set up was VERY painless. The router is strong and there have been no noticeable downtimes. Even during heavy overcast/rain.
Easily streams 4K. We have had the $120/month unlimited package since inception. Likely twice the price of Spectrum or HawaiianTel, but since neither is available to us, Starlink is a fine value.
Further, since we are standalone solar, we don’t lose internet during grid power outages.
Speedtests show about 170/19 down/up with less than 70 latency. Not impressive specs, but it works for everything we use it for, and we have never had an experience where it was slow enough to notice that we needed more, so to speak. Two years plus.
Cheers,
