I imagine with them boasting about 1m routers made, that they have
inventory to ship! And really, if they
get the buffering under control, "best effort" would be pretty good, IMHO.

btw, today the cake-autorate team shipped v1.1 of the code, tested
against lte, 5g, cable and starlink. They've made
good progress on detecting when network conditions deteriorate and
recover. Give it a shot via:

Seeing as they also indicated the estimated time for regular service is mid-2023, I decided to go with it (You don't lose your place on the wait list). You can also "pause" the best effort service so I don't really have anything to lose.
