[Starlink] impressed with my starlink today

[Livingood, Jason]

IMO I don’t think you can judge that by using Galene – you need to use the large market-share platforms. Also, given the density issues facing LEO services, a single sample can’t be taken as particularly representative – you’d need more users across a broader range of density/terrain types.

I just did a bunch of videoconferences all morning without many glitches. (2 hours, only one download glitch, not recording so I do not know how good the up was) Admittedly, I was
using galene.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/galene.org__;!!CQl3mcHX2A!AwJw0pjxf076FkQM4rXF8f3rISzxQCURREhzLa7IZFgxvmgtQP16gVm8yjle-XsLqPa92ijxNko7aWsEdoQbf9jW__cpI23ESQ$> rather than zoom, but I did do a couple up and downloads while talking and they seemed to work pretty well.

I ran a few tests afterwards, to observe my overall bandwidth up was way up, and tcp congestion controls pretty smoothly adapting to physical changes in RTT and bandwidth for a change. I sat there and admired the T+120 smoothnesss in this transition, in particular.

Anyone else seeing progress in long term behaviors? I think in part it was just galene doing better, or perhaps it was because my baseline bandwidth stayed above galene´s base.
