Subject: [Starlink] Starlink "Best Effort" offering

I've been on the wait list for almost 10 months and just received an email
that I can sign up for a "best efforts" offering. 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.

Has anyone had experience with this offering? Any input appreciated. If it
makes a difference, location is Central East Ohio.

According to
https://www.starlink.com/legal/documents/DOC-1002-69942-69?regionCode=US,
latency will be comparable to regular service, down will be 5-100mbs and up
will be 1-10mps unless service is deprioritized due to congestion.

Thanks in advance.

Mike
